Bridging Research and Practice: Findings From the National Center on Cognition and Mathematics Instruction

Fri, April 8, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level One, Room 101

Session Type: Structured Poster Session

Abstract

The Institute of Education Science’s (IES) National Center on Cognition and Mathematics Instruction aims to (1) apply research-based cognitive principles to revise an existing middle school mathematics curriculum and (2) to evaluate the effectiveness of the revised materials. This structured poster session will share findings from both the large-scale, nationwide study as well as findings from supplementary studies that seek to understand how to translate basic research on cognition into principled instructional design strategies. The posters discuss findings that refine existing theories of cognition and offer practical suggestions to improve overall student outcomes and meet the needs of individual learners.
