Book Description
In and out of formal schooling, online and off, today’s learners must consume and integrate a level of information that is exponentially larger and delivered through a wider range of formats and viewpoints than ever before. The Handbook of Learning from Multiple Representations and Perspectives provides a path for understanding the cognitive, motivational, and socioemotional processes and skills necessary for learners across educational contexts to make sense of and use information sourced from varying inputs. Uniting research and theory from education, psychology, literacy, library sciences, media and technology, and more, this forward-thinking volume explores the common concerns, shared challenges, and thematic patterns in our capacity to make meaning in an information-rich society.

Parenting Matters
Author: National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and MedicinePublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309388570
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 525
Book Description
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
Attitudes, Beliefs, Motivation and Identity in Mathematics Education
Author: Markku S. HannulaPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319328115
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
This book records the state of the art in research on mathematics-related affect. It discusses the concepts and theories of mathematics-related affect along the lines of three dimensions. The first dimension identifies three broad categories of affect: motivation, emotions, and beliefs. The book contains one chapter on motivation, including discussions on how emotions and beliefs relate to motivation. There are two chapters that focus on beliefs and a chapter on attitude which cross-cuts through all these categories. The second dimension covers a rapidly fluctuating state to a more stable trait. All chapters in the book focus on trait-type affect and the chapter on motivation discusses both these dimensions. The third dimension regards the three main levels of theorizing: physiological (embodied), psychological (individual) and social. All chapters reflect that mathematics-related affect has mainly been studied using psychological theories.
Beliefs, Attitudes, and Values
Author: Milton RokeachPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
"This is a revolutionary book. Rokeach seriously questions the vast research on attitudes and attitude change as well as some of the well-known theories in this area. And—perhaps more crucially—he documents the need to replace the delimited concern for attitudes with a systematic and organized theory about values. Rokeach provides theoretical and reach substance and meaning to the previously scattered thought about beliefs, attitudes, and values. In doing so, he opens new avenues of understanding about man's values, and he documents the necessary new directions in research. "Belief, Attitudes, and Values represents and elaboration of my continuing interest in the nature of belief systems. The title reflects my view that an understanding of man's beliefs, attitudes, and values will not come unless we are willing to distinguish these concepts from one another and to employ them in distinctively different ways. The subtitle conveys my view that beliefs, attitudes, and values are nonetheless interrelated and form a functionally integrative cognitive system. "With the framework of a person-centered theory of belief systems, I present a systematic way of thinking about the problems that gave not been satisfactory handles in social psychology. there is little consensus about exactly what we mean when we speak of belief, and an attitude, a value, a value system...We are a long way from understanding the theoretical relationship between attitudes and behavior, between attitude change and behavioral change, and we have not yet learned how to predict accurately one from the other. "The majority of experimental findings on attitude change have little to do with attitude change, since the findings can be more simply accounted for on other grounds. The literature on attitude change does not seem to serve the interests of the educator and therapist nearly so much as it serves the interest of specialized persuaders in advertising, the mass media, politics, and public relations."-Publisher.
