Advances in Mediated Learning Experience for 21st Century Education | Competencies, Contexts and Culture

by Tan Oon-Seng | Chua Bee Leng | Isabella Wong Yuen-Fun

Latest developments in the neuroscience and science of learning have affirmed the theories of the late cognitive psychologist Professor Reuven Feuerstein. The theory of Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) and Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM), which have their genesis in the 1950s continue to make advances in its implementation science. This book aims to provide a compilation of works that synthesises the most up-to-date knowledge, research, and practice of MLE and its interventions which would guide the application of MLE with diverse learners of different stages of human development. Besides an emphasis on the culturally responsive use of the Feuerstein approach, this book also intends to offer substantive coverage of the application of MLE across different contexts and seeks to merge the current state of knowledge and chart research directions for researchers in the cognitive and social-emotional development of student's learning.

Key Features
• Presents an interdisciplinary approach in the mediated interventions that strengthen the cognition, social-emotional, and motivational development of students' learning.
• MLE applications across different cultures and special needs such as learners with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), developmental disabilities, Down's syndrome, Global Developmental Delay, and deaf learners with rich illustrations of interventions.
• Provides an international perspective in terms of how Feuerstein's theory has been appreciated and adapted into practice around the world.
• Contributions from well-known experts in the United States, Belgium, Israel, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Slovakia, South Africa, and Singapore.
• Cognitive enrichment programmes and assessment scales such as the Bright Start Cognitive Curriculum for Young Children, Instrumental Enrichment (IE), Learning Propensity Assessment Device (LPAD), Cognitive Modifiability Battery (CMB), Mediated Learning Experience Rating Scale (MLERS), and their applications in different environments are highlighted in the book.
• An inspirational resource for educational
