Infant Manipulative Actions upon Customary and Uncustomary Objects in Independent and Joint Activity
1999
Eight 12 month‐olds acting on objects were observed in two sessions: 1) the objects were home objects; 2) they were brought by the observer as new exemplars of previous toys. Infants were observed manipulating objects independently and with their mothers. Type and cognitive level of infant's actions were coded. Conventional actions were more frequent in joint than independent activity. In independent activity, conventional actions were more frequent with customary objects. High cognitive level was more frequent with customary objects. Acting with an adult is the major influential factor in promoting conventional usage of an object. However, acting on customary objects influences both conven…
COGNITIVE DEPTH OF TEACHING AND LEARNING PROCESS IN BIOLOGY FROM 7TH TILL 9TH GRADE
2018
From OECD PISA Science test results presented in 2016 shows that in Latvia only 3,4% of students performance is in accordance to the 5th and 6th performance level (higher order cognitive skills (HOCS) measured), which is below OECD average. In Latvia from 2016 started Curriculum Development and Implementation project, which one of the priorities is student’s ability to apply HOCS (higher order cognitive skills) to improve these results. The development of deeper thinking (cognitive activity) is one of the most advanced skills in all subjects, including biology. In order to reduce the risks, it is necessary to analyze introducing new reforms the opportunities for students to develop HOCS th…
Pensiero e autocoscienza. Lo strano anello della cognizione umana.
L’argomento centrale della tesi è la natura della mente umana in relazione alla questione dell’intricato rapporto fra pensiero e autocoscienza. La congettura fondamentale consiste, in primo luogo, nel sostenere che particolari proprietà del pensiero umano, la flessibilità e la fluidità, rappresentino le caratteristiche salienti e specifiche della cognizione umana e, in secondo luogo, nel rilevare che il costituirsi di queste ultime sia strettamente connesso al fenomeno di autocoscienza. Il fuoco dell’analisi ruota attorno a tre importanti nuclei tematici: cosa si intende per flessibilità e fluidità della mente? Cosa si intende per autocoscienza – o meglio – quale tipo di autocoscienza esatt…
