Abstract
In this book on designing constructivist learning environments, we offer a conception of why and how these environments should be used in higher education.

An alternative framework for human memory research is outlined in terms of depth or levels of processing and some current data and arguments are reexamined in the light of this alternative framework.

5,615 Citations2003Stephen Toulmin
Stephen Toulmin’s views on the field-dependency of validity criteria but also his model of the “layout arguments”, with its description of the functional moves in the argumentation process, have made this book a modern classic in the study of argumentation.

Educational Technology Research and DevelopmentObjectivism versus constructivism: Do we need a new philosophical paradigm?
1,492 Citations1991David H. Jonassen
The philosophical assumptions underlying IST and its behavioral and cognitive foundations are analyzed, each of which is primarily objectivistic, which means that knowing and learning are processes for representing and mirroring reality.

This paper proposes three different mechanisms that seem to be responsible for the different phases of the learning of complex topic matters: accretion, restructuring, and tuning.
Cognitive Apprenticeship and Instructional Technology
486 Citations1988Alan Collins
Cognitive apprenticeship employs the modeling, coaching, and fading paradigm of traditional apprenticeship, but with emphasis on cognitive rather than physical skills.
Cognitive Tools for Learning

This book discusses the consequences of moving from a Traditional Cybernetic Approach to a Open Exploratory Learning Environment, and the importance of knowing how to put language in a child's mind.

The term Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) quickly became old-fashioned and is replaced by the term ICAI, where the “I” denotes the assumed intelligence built in the learning environment.

This chapter reports four studies designed to test the proposal that interaction where alternative concepts differ is indeed beneficial, but only when the pupils also differ over the predictions they make.

26 Citations1992David H. Jonassen
It is argued that cognitive flexibility theory implemented in hypertext provides an effective model for designing and developing computer-based instruction to support advanced knowledge acquisition which is required by professionals to solve real-world problems.

9 Citations1992Stanley R. Trollip, Renate C. Lippert +2 more
An approach is described that interfaces some AI techniques with current classroom needs and existing technology to produce a rich learning environment and has students construct simple knowledge bases on difficult topics as a means of forcing them to think deeply about the intrinsic relationships of the topic.
Journal of Educational Computing ResearchThe Effectiveness of Internally-Generated Feedback with an Instructional Expert System
9 Citations1989R. Scott Grabinger, Joellyn Pollock
Internally-generated feedback, stimulated by the expert system, proved as effective as externally provided feedback in the learning of the production tasks and improved both the learning and application of evaluation criteria in a complex evaluation task.
