66.026 - Scaling Up Cognitive Learning Principles to Redesign a Mathematics Curriculum for Improved Learning

Sun, April 19, 4:05 to 5:35pm, Sheraton, Floor: Ballroom Level, Sheraton II

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

We report challenges moving instructional principles from controlled settings to large-scale use in the classroom. As part of a field-based randomized control trial across seventeen states, the National Center on Cognition and Mathematics Instruction is investigating middle school students’ mathematics learning using the commercially available curriculum, Connected Mathematics 2 (CMP2), as compared to a version redesigned based on modifications resulting from applying four cognitive principles of learning from the IES Practice Guide: (1) Integrating visual and verbal information, (2) interleaving worked examples and self-explanation with problem solving (3) spaced practice, and (4) testing effects from formative assessment.
