A primer of research on cognitive strategy instruction: The important issues and how to address them

Future Directions for Theory and Research with Instructional Manipulatives:Commentary on the Special Issue Papers

“…Investigations of learning outcomes related to maintenance as well as near and far transfer of learning (Barnett and Ceci 2002;Pressley et al 1990) with regards to learning conditions and subject characteristics in an aptitude-by-treatment framework (ATIs : Cronbach 1957;Cronbach and Snow 1977) are suggested by the Fyfe, McNeil, Son and Goldstone. ATI studies are challenging due to the number of participants required to have adequate statistical power to identify meaningful interactions (Cohen 1988).…”

Beyond educational semiotics: A response to Cunningham

“…At a minimum, this body of new data complements the outcomes reported in the experimental studies that focussed on objective achievement. Our view is that the more methods used to analyze an instructional practice, the more complete the portrayal of the intervention and its effects (see Pressley et al, 1990). We would urge those who find Cunningham's semiotic analyses to be heuristic to design programs of research that include extremely di~,erse methodologies, perhaps even including both qualitative research and quantitative work, as has been the style in MP's recent research.…”

Hacia un nuevo paradigma del aprendizaje estratégico: el papel de la mediación social, del self y de las emociones

“…Brown, G. Duffy, S, Paris, M. Pressley, B. Rosenshine sobre enseñanza estratégica -"Strategic Instruction"-y el modo en que profesores y alumnos, en sus prácticas educativas cotidianas, negocian, transfieren, aplican, regulan y evalúan procesos y procedimientos para aprender, supone un cambio radical en la forma de entender la compleji-dad de los contextos de enseñanza-aprendizaje y su decisiva influencia sobre el aprendizaje de estrategias (puede leerse una excelente revisión en Pressley et al, 1990).…”
