Discussion• Cognitive science
– Focusing on memory, self-regulated learning, and interface between emotion and cognition
– Blended states of emotion can affect learning, cognition, and motivation
– Baker, D’Mello, Rodrigo and Graesser (2009) identified five that could result in poorer learning

Discussion (Cognitive Science)
• Kostons, et al. (2012) noted:
– Modeling techniques increase self-regulation and task-selection
– Students feel as if they have more control
– Increasing self-regulation, task-selection and a student’s control over learning can prevent….

Discussion (Cognitive Science)
• Lewandowsky, Yang, Newell and Kalish (2012) noted:
• Working memory is imperative for higher level cognitive functions
• Not equally distributed across all tasks
• Direct-access region is a temporary cohesive agent that binds item representations for later use (chunking)

But not this…
Discussion• Educational Neuroscience
• Bringing neuroscientific discoveries to the classroom
• Help students learn• Help teachers teach• Help develop curriculum to support
both
Discussion (Educational Neuroscience)
Discussion (Educational Neuroscience)
• We have an intrinsic ability to build upon what we already know
– It’s more difficult to learn new, unrelated tasks because there hasn’t been an association
– Our brains work harder with new material
Discussion (Educational Neuroscience)
• What does this mean?
• Repetition is beneficial for new material
• Somehow relate the material to past knowledge, skills or experiences
Discussion (Constructivism)
Discussion (Constructivism)
• Conner (2013) defines constructivism as:
– The process of understanding information by connecting it to pre-existing knowledge
• Includes social cultural constructivism
Discussion (Constructivism)
• Bay, Bagceci and Cetin (2012) discussed the classroom as:
–A place where learning occurs through authentic tasks with• Collaboration• Teachers are guide students • Students are independent learners,
responsible for their experiences
Discussion (Constructivism)
IndependentM-learnersSocial sharingPeer-to-peer
Discussion• Technology
– Faster, more interactive, connects vast amounts of knowledge
– Mobile, can connect virtually everywhere
Discussion (Technology)
• Neo, et al. (2013) and Fessakis et al. (2013) shared:
– Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) to provide multi-sensory learning through games and problem solving
– Multimedia Integrated Learning Environments (MILE) connected blended environments for blogs, discussions, team projects
Discussion (Technology)
Fessakis et al. (2013) noted:
• Presence of interactive analysis graphs increased student participation and intensity
• Also attributed to increasing students’ self-regulating skills
Discussion (applicability)
• Navy Chief Petty Officer 365 (MCPON, 2013)
– Year-round training initiative to train future leaders
– Classroom, lecture-based training
– No assessments or application
– Defined by Sailors as “boring”

Discussion (applicability)
– Through the creative combination and application of the topics discussed, a new curriculum can be designed for the future Navy leaders.
– Lessons that will inspire, be relevant, have applications designed in to the content, and will not end up sounding like…
