• ACT Research Home Page- The ACT group is led by John Anderson at Carnegie Mellon University and is concerned with the ACT theory and architecture of cognition. The goal of this research is to understand how people acquire and organize knowledge and produce intelligent behavior. The ACT-R unified theory of cognition attempts to develop a cognitive architecture that can perform in detail a full range of cognitive tasks. The architecture takes the form of a computer simulation which is capable of performing and learning from the same tasks worked on by human subjects in our laboratories.

• Collaborative Learning and Veterinary Medicine - Too many faculty members in our Colleges of Veterinary Medicine are not really able to distinguish between lecturing and teaching. Too often the college classroom is a place where students are bombarded with facts from the podium that they frantically try to copy down in their notes. Louis Schmier, a professor at Valdosta State University, emphasizes the point this way: "there really is a hell of a difference between a teacher and a classroom presenter." Schmier summarizes where college pedagogy is today as follows: "Most people think that anyone can teach. All you have to do is stand at the head of the classroom, throw out crumbs of information in an automated lecture, and the students will eagerly peck away and nourish their minds. I call that schooling, not education; lecturing, not teaching. Our graduate schools train scholars and researchers who are thrown into classrooms without guidance. It's little wonder that most of us evolve into classroom presenters."

Anchored
Instruction

• Anchored
  Instruction   - "Anchored instruction
  requires putting the students in the context of a problem-based story.
  The students "play" an authentic role while investigating the problem,
  identifying gaps to their knowledge, researching the information needed
  to solve the problem, and developing solutions. For example, the students
  play the role of a pilot to learn about aeronautics subject matter such
  as gravity, airflow, weather concepts, and basic flight dynamics. The teacher
  facilitates and coaches the students through the process."

Wolfgang
Köhler - "German-American psychologist, one of the founders of
Gestalt psychology with Kurt Koffka. Köhler gained fame with his studies
on cognitive processing involved in problem-solving by animals. Köhler
argued that animals do not learn everything through a gradual trial-and-error
process, or  stimulus-response association. His tests in Tenerife
in the 1910s with chimpanzees suggested that these animals solved problems
by understanding - like human beings, they are capable of insight learning,
the "aha!" solutions to problems. Köhler also discovered with von
Restoff the isolation effect in memory,     contributed
to the theory of memory and recall, and developed a non-associationist
theory of the nature of associations."

  Article - "Jean Piaget, the pioneering Swiss philosopher
  and psychologist, spent much of his professional life listening to children,
  watching children and poring over reports of researchers around the world
  who were doing the same. He found, to put it most succinctly, that children
  don't think like grownups. After thousands of interactions with young people
  often barely old enough to talk, Piaget began to suspect that behind their
  cute and seemingly illogical utterances were thought processes that had
  their own kind of order and their own special logic. Einstein called it
  a discovery 'so simple that only a genius could have thought of it.' "

  Learning and Veterinary Medicine - Too many faculty
  members in our Colleges of Veterinary Medicine are not really able to distinguish
  between lecturing and teaching. Too often the college classroom is a place
  where students are bombarded with facts from the podium that they frantically
  try to copy down in their notes. Louis Schmier, a professor at Valdosta
  State University, emphasizes the point this way: "there really is a hell
  of a difference between a teacher and a classroom presenter." Schmier summarizes
  where college pedagogy is today as follows: "Most people think that anyone
  can teach. All you have to do is stand at the head of the classroom, throw
  out crumbs of information in an automated lecture, and the students will
  eagerly peck away and nourish their minds. I call that schooling, not education;
  lecturing, not teaching. Our graduate schools train scholars and researchers
  who are thrown into classrooms without guidance. It's little wonder that
  most of us evolve into classroom presenters."
