Mediated Learning Experience

This study draws on mediated learning experience (MLE) theory to contextualize the correcting process within the sociocultural dimension of the teacher’s intervention and collaborative learning to facilitate student engagement with discovering, correcting, and rewriting practices. This correcting process was administered to eight mixed-ability groups of Vietnamese secondary students (n = 31) to investigate students’ perceptions of their engagement in the process from both quantitative and qualitative perspectives that have been under-researched so far. The statistical analysis of a closed-ended questionnaire shows that students strongly agreed with the practices and effectiveness of the process, accuracy improvement, approach preferences, and learning motivation. Eight students’ responses to semi-structured interviews elaborated on the benefits and disadvantages of group-correction and the significance of targeting errors, and on each correcting phase. While students’ responses satisfied MLE’s criteria, their perceptions of the limitations of group-correction somewhat qualified the way reciprocity occurred. The findings suggest offering students opportunities to act on language issues in their writing and confirm the usefulness of engagement with correction-feedback practices from which implications for L2 writing and further research are discussed.

The Impact

The aim of this phenomenological study is to provide a deeper understanding of the impact of remote teaching on instructors’ perceptions of online learning and future teaching practices amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to analyze open-ended semi-structured interviews conducted with five higher education faculty in Saudi Arabia. Three major themes were identified: enhancing student engagement; increased awareness of technology affordances and constraints; and moving from emergency remote teaching to technology-enhanced and blended learning. Participants of this study were mainly concerned about finding ways to support active student engagement in this new learning environment, which in turn increased their awareness of the educational affordances and constraints of online learning and technologies. Participants’ deeper understanding of the potential of online technologies in supporting student learning, as well as their own and students’ increased familiarity and comfort with online learning and technologies, served as the main drivers for potential future implementation of blended learning and technology-enhanced teaching practices. With that said, participants were still apprehensive about engaging in fully online teaching, arguing that blended strategies and enhanced-technology integration are more likely to overcome some of the limitations of face-to-face teaching and improve the overall learning experience for their students. Discussion of these findings in relation to the extant literature and their implications for higher education institutions moving forward are provided.

Mediated Learning Experience

The author presents a study of the systematic observation of Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) among Ethiopian immigrants in Israel. The study was based on “semi-naturalistic” observation of two tasks–one experimental task with the new immigrants, another with veteran immigrants. The observation was conducted mainly on the basis of MLE parameters. The study illustrates the components of MLE that are most valuable and ones that are more emphasized than others as part of the overall cultural practice and its value system. Generally, Ethiopian parents infrequently use the mediation of transcendence infrequently and rarely provide mediation of competence and reward, especially in the explicit verbal form of a direct reward. More emphasis is placed on the accomplishment of actual acts with little room for making errors. The mediation of regulation of behavior is done with a more commanding and direct manner–sometimes scolding–with an authoritarian voice and body gestures. The overall picture of MLE among this immigrant population indicates that there is still a huge disparity between the mediational teaching style expressed as ideal in schools and the mediational styles that Ethiopian children are familiar with at home. This suggests a discontinuity between home and school that might inhibit a rapid adaptation to the school’s learning style for the children.

The Impact

The focus of this article is on the effects of mediated learning experience (MLE) interactions on children’s cognitive modifiability. In this article, I discuss the MLE theory, and selected research findings demonstrating the impact of MLE strategies in facilita ting cognitive modifiability. Research findings derive from mother–child interactions, peer-mediation and cognitive education programs. Mediation for transcendence (expanding) was found consistently as the most powerful strategy predicting cognitive modifiability and distal factors in samples of children with learning difficulties directly predict cognitive modifiability. Findings of peer-mediation studies indicate that children in experimental groups participating in the Peer Mediation with Young Children program showed better mediational teaching style and higher cognitive modifiability than children in control groups. Application of dynamic assessment as a central evaluation method reveals that the contribution of the cognitive education program was not simply supporting the development of a particular skill practiced during the program; it also involved teaching children how to benefit from mediation in a different setting and consequently improve their cognitive performance across other domains.

AbstractThis research focuses on studying the effect of mediated learning experience in children with learning difficulties in terms of deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. The main objective of the mediation method is to improve the cognitive skills of the participants through its close mediator–children interaction. This paper analysed the term ‘knowledge’ and how it is often interpreted mistakenly by many teachers. In the survey participated 10 pupils with learning disabilities, aged 10, who attended the fifth class of primary school in Athens, Greece. Here, the action research methodology was used because the researcher took the role of mediator and worked with the students to explore the fractions. Research findings show that mathematical concepts are easier and deeper understood through practical activities and active participation of all members of the class. The mathematical abilities of children with learning difficulties and their self-confidence towards lesson have been boosted during the survey to a remarkable extent.

Play Therapist

Multidimensional Play Therapy is an integrative, multidimensional metatheoretical approach to the use of play in working with clients’ different modalities, with specific focus on the provision of mediated learning experiences through play. It is an attempt to fill in the gap and act as a bridge to integrate different ideas and practices in the fields of cognitive education and play therapy. Specifically, Multidimensional Play Therapy expands the use of play therapy to include providing mediated learning experience, based on Feuerstein’s theory of structural cognitive modifiability and mediated learning experience. The use of play as mediation, proposed by Vygotsky, is integrated with Feuerstein’s systematic application of Vygotsky’s idea of a more competent human being (the play therapist) as mediator in the context of Multidimensional Play Therapy.

Mediated Learning Experience

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between mother-child mediated learning experience (MLE) strategies and mothers’ attachment and mental health. Fifty two Israeli mother-child dyads were videotaped at home in two interaction conditions: free play and structured. The interactions were analyzed using the Observation of Mediated Interaction (OMI). Mothers rated themselves on the Attachment Scale and the Mental Health Inventory. MLE strategies were found to be positively predicted by secure attachment and negatively by anxious attachment. In addition, MLE strategies were positively predicted by feelings of wellbeing. Gender differences are discussed. The findings support previous findings about affect-cognition relationships, and indicate the importance of perceiving the mediator from a holistic point of view. Mediation is perceived not only as a determining factor of affective processes, but also as being determined by them.

Este artigo discute sobre o espaço da literatura no ensino fundamental por meio da Experiência da Aprendizagem Mediada nos Ciclos de Leitura do Programa de Aprendizagem na Idade Certa (MAISPAIC), no eixo de Literatura e Formação do leitor. Objetivamos apresentar uma discussão acerca da atuação do professor como mediador da aprendizagem, no desafio de despertar  nos alunos o gosto pela leitura de deleite e o desenvolvimento da autonomia estudantil. Analisamos os Ciclos de Leitura MAISPAIC sob três perspectivas teóricas que fundamentam a proposta do Programa. Para a  mediação da aprendizagem, tomamos as concepções de Vygotsky (1991),sobre o sociointeracionismo pela linguagem com vistas ao desenvolvimento cognitivo e de Feuerstein (1991), bem como demais estudiosos,  por discorrerem sobre a Experiência da Aprendizagem Mediada como impulsionadora da modificabilidade cognitiva estrutural; na perspectiva dialógica da  interação entre leitor, texto e autor, trazemos o olhar de Bakhtin (1997, 2016),  integrando-o às ideias de Solé (1998) e  Cosson (2014), que apontam a leitura compartilhada como um momento interacional da linguagem em função do letramento literário dos alunos; para compreender a visão de educação impressa nessa proposta, buscamos  a partir de Freire(1987), analisar as relações de proximidade entre  as experiências do círculo de cultura  e a vivência dos Ciclos de Leitura no cotidiano  escolar.  A pesquisa adota uma abordagem qualitativa de natureza aplicada, englobando o estudo bibliográfico sobre a teoria da aprendizagem mediada, a análise documental do material orientador do MAISPAIC e as experiências vivenciadas nas formações de professores ofertadas pelo programa. Os resultados apontam os Ciclos de Leitura como uma experiência de mediação da aprendizagem que tem impulsionado os docentes a abordarem novas estratégias para o trabalho de compreensão textual e influenciado os alunos no aprendizado do deleite literário para desenvolvimento da metacognição e formação de leitores protagonistas.REFERÊNCIAS BAKHTIN, Mikhail.
