Some blog followers might be interested in two recent posts “Re: Cognitive Acceleration” [Hake (2011a)] and “Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment” [Hake (2011b)] . A combined abstract is:
*******************************************
ABSTRACT: Paul Lulai of the PhysLrnR list stated that when he searched for materials on “Cognitive Acceleration” he found none that would even provide a glimpse. As of 14 Feb 11:10:00-0800 Lulai's post had initiated a 18-post thread on PhysLrnR.
In the first post “Re: Cognitive Acceleration” [Hake (2011a)] at http://bit.ly/fjoabR, I give eleven academic references to the work of Adey & Shayer on “Cognitive Acceleration,” a program designed to promote student's thought processes from “concrete” to “formal” abstract thinking.
In the second post “Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment” [Hake (2011b)] at http://bit.ly/htVa5a, I list seventeen academic references related to the work of Reuven Feuerstein on “Instrumental Enrichment.” Feuerstein's work complements and is consistent with “Cognitive Acceleration” since both work under the premise that thinking skills can be taught.

“If you try to introduce people to a paradigm shift, they will hear what you have to say and then interpret your words in terms of their old paradigm. What does not fit, they will not hear. Therefore, a change in paradigm cannot be brought about by talking. People have to experience the change, or at a minimum see other peopl experiencing it, before they will begin to understand what you are saying.”
- Myron Tribus (2001)
