... when controlling for other factors which might also affect performance, such as socioeconomic status and education, they found that bilinguals outperformed monolinguals in 15 verbal and non-verbal tests.

Meta-Learning

Tuesday, June 19, 12

Initial Investigation Frames for Further Research

Physical Activity...• how much? when?• does the learner need the choice?• e!ect vs. play

Initial Investigation Frames for Further Research

Literacy/Language...• the bene"ts of two, three, four...• does it matter what kind?• is there a correlation between multiple languages and moral

development?• computer languages?

Tuesday, June 19, 12

Initial Investigation Frames for Further Research

Math...• is there a conceptual core?• is the a progression demonstrated in the learning sciences?

[number sense]• is this in#uenced by learning through integrated math?

through systems thinking?

Tuesday, June 19, 12

Initial Investigation Frames for Further Research

Technology...• what cognitive elements are most critical in the digital age?• what are the negative impacts of technology?• how do we design around them?

Initial Investigation Frames for Further Research

Others...• breadth vs. depth• key developmental learning pathways• multimodality• linear vs. non-linear• do we have to construct a meta-curriculum?• dimensional view of the learner, vs. labeling• how do we maximize time by layering in elements in

interdisciplinary studies?
