Brief introduction of new CF attendees:
- Elizabeth Hirshorn (native English reading comprehension)
- Juan Zhang (Chinese LearnLab, character learning study)
- Zhan Wang (English LearnLab, fluency project)
Research presentation:
Bryan Matlen presented his proposed dissertation project on Comparison-based Learning in Science Education. The research aims to compare conditions of near and far comparisons (analogies), and near and far contrasts, with 5th-7th grade students learning the control of variables strategy (CVS).
Next meeting:
- Scheduling: We will try to schedule the next Cognitive Factors meeting in mid-March, prior to the Advisory Board visit. Sorry, this means probably cutting into either Pitt’s or CMU’s spring break schedule.
- Agenda: Any necessary preparations for the AB visit will be discussed. Bruce McLaren will give a research presentation.
