| 3/31/2005 | Gathering | Taking our Models Seriously: Applying Cognitive Science to Help Students Applying Cognitive Science to Help Students Learn to Solve Problems | Kent Student Center - Room 204 | Faculty Professional Development Center | 7:00pm - 9:00pm Marsha Lovett, Carnegie Mellon University The Educational Psychology Learning Community, OLN, fpdc, Office of the Provost, and University Teaching Council are pleased to bring to Kent State University Dr. Marsha Lovett. Dr. Lovett is Associate Director of the Eberly Center for Teaching Excellence and Assistant Professor of Psychology. She received her doctorate in Cognitive Psychology from Carnegie Mellon (1994) and, except for a year as a visiting scholar at UC Berkeley¹s School of Education, has spent her academic career in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Her research interests center on learning during problem solving, specifically on how students acquire effective problem-solving strategies and how individual differences between people impact the learning process. It has been said that a theory is only to be trusted after it has been built into a successful commercialized product. By this metric, Einstein's theory of relativity has finally proven itself: global positioning systems (GPS) use relativistic quantities to accurately compute a person's latitude and longitude, and they have thrived since coming to market several years ago. So where is cognitive science on this continuum? In this talk, Dr. Lovett will discuss some of the empirical and theoretical results (as well a commercial product or two) from cognitive science that are being tested and applied in real classroom settings. In particular, she will review a theoretical framework for how students learn and then discuss how it is being applied to help students learn to solve problems. The benefits from this integration of basic and applied work are better student learning outcomes and refined cognitive theory. |

| 4/7/2005 | Seminars | Portraits of Practice: Interested in Qualitative Methods of Research? Utilizing ATLAS.ti versus NUD*IST as a Research Tool | 2nd Floor Lounge, Moulton Hall | Faculty Professional Development Center | 11:00pm - 12:30pm Carrie L. Giovannone, Educational Research Specialist, fpdc This presentation will begin with a brief overview of the NUD*IST qualitative computer program in contrast to a demonstration of another qualitative computer program called, ATLAS.ti. This software program can be used to code text documents, photos, drawings, and audio and video tape. ATLAS.ti also has a “network view” option which allows you to view and manipulate a graphic depiction of your project. Given the sophistication of the program, the possibilities of using ATLAS.ti as a research tool are endless. In addition to research, instructors could use ATLAS.ti as a teaching tool. We will demonstrate and discuss these various uses for an emerging industry standard. |
