How does a student make sense of words on a page? How does mathematical knowledge
grow? How do students' ideas about history and science change over time? This class will
engage students with cognitive perspectives on learning that will help illuminate answers to
questions like these. Each class will focus on a different cognitive perspective, such as the
transfer of knowledge from one setting to another, conceptual change, and the difference
between expert and novice knowledge. While issues of cognition can seem abstract and
theoretical at times, this course will guide students through practical application of cognitive
theory in different content areas for student learning.
