feelings, and concerns
Assimilation - ansFitting new information into existing schemes.
Assisted Learning - ansProviding strategic help in the initial stages of learning, gradually
diminishing as students gain independence.
Case study - ansIntensive study of one person or one situation
Classification - ansGrouping objects into categories
Co-constructed process - ansA social process in which people interact and negotiate
(usually verbally) to create an understanding or to solve a problem. The final product is
shaped by all participants
Coactions - ansJoint actions of individual biology and the environment-each shapes and

Collective monologue - ansForm of speech in which children in a group talk but do not

Compensation - ansThe principle that changes in one dimension can be offset by
changes in another.
Concrete operations - ansMental tasks tied to concrete objects and situations
Conservation - ansPrinciple that some characteristics of an object remain the same
despite changes in appearance
Correlations - ansStatistical descriptions of how closely two variables are related
Cultural tools - ansThe real tools (computers, scales, etc.) and symbol systems
(numbers, language, graphs) that allow people in a society to communicate, think,
solve, problems, and create knowledge.
Decentering - ansFocusing on more than one aspect at a time

available research with the insights of expert practitioners and knowledge of the
characteristics, culture, and preferences of the client
Experimentation - ansResearch method in which variables are manipulated and the
effects recorded
Formal operations - ansMental tasks involving abstract thinking and coordination of a
number of variables
Goal-directed actions - ansDeliberate actions toward a goal.
Hypothesis - ansa prediction of what will happen in a research study based on theory
and previous research
,Methods Of Educational Psychology-Educational Psycology-Lecture Handouts

which an individual begins by identifying all the factors that might affect a problem and
then deduces and systematically evaluates specific solutions
Identity - ansPrinciple that a person or object remains the same over time
Maturation - ansGenetically programmed, naturally occurring changes over time
Microgenetic studies - ansDetailed observation and analysis of changes in a cognitive
process as the process unfolds over a several-day or several-week period of time
Negative correlation - ansA relationship between two variables in which a high value on
one is associated with a low value on the other.
Example: height and distance from top of head to the ceiling
Neo-Piagetian theories - ansMore recent theories that integrate findings about attention,
memory, and strategy use with Piaget's insights about children's thinking and the
construction of knowledge
Object permanence - ansThe understanding that objects have a separate, permanent
existence
Operations - ansActions a person carries out by thinking them through instead of
literally performing the actions
Participant observation - ansA method for conducting descriptive research in which the
researcher becomes a participant in the situation in order to better understand life in
that group.
Participants/Subjects - ansPeople or animals studied
Personal development - ansChanges in personality that take place as one grows
Physical development - ansChanges in body structure and function over time
Positive correlation - ansA relationship between two variables in which the two increase
or decrease together.
