Research in neuroscience and brain imaging show that exposure of learners to multi-semiotic problems enhance cognitive control of inter-hemispheric attentional processing in the lateral brain and increase higher-order thinking. Multi-semiotic representations of conceptual meaning are found in most knowledge domains where issues of quantity, structure, space, and change play important roles, including applied sciences and social science. Teaching courses in History and Theory of Architecture to young architecture students with pedagogy for conceptual thinking allows them to connect analysis of historic artifact, identify pattern of design ideas extracted from the precedent, and transfer concepts of good design into their creative design process.
Pedagogy for Conceptual Thinking and Meaning Equivalence: Emerging Research and Opportunities is a critical scholarly resource that demonstrates an instructional and assessment methodology that enhances higher-order thinking, deepens comprehension of conceptual content, and improves learning outcomes. Based on the rich literature on word meaning and concept formation in linguistics and semiotics, and in developmental and cognitive psychology, it shows how independent studies in these disciplines converge on the necessary clues for constructing a procedure for the demonstration of mastery of knowledge with equivalence-of-meaning across multiple representations. Featuring a wide range of topics such as curriculum design, learning outcomes, and STEM education, this book is essential for curriculum developers, instructional designers, teachers, administrators, education professionals, academicians, policymakers, and researchers.
Masha Etkind is professor in the Department of Architectural Science at Ryerson University. She teaches design, theory and history of architecture. Her work and recent research focus on heritage conservation, language and roots of living architecture, as well as on Pedagogy for Conceptual Thinking in architectural education. Etkind received a professional degree in architecture from St. Petersburg University of Architecture and Engineering, and Masters in Architecture from the University of Toronto. Etkind is member of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada. Uri Shafrir is associate professor in Department of Human Development and Applied Psychology at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and Director of Adult Study Skills Clinic at Faculty of Information of University of Toronto. His recent research focuses on concept parsing algorithms in various knowledge domains and on instructional methodologies for deep comprehension of conceptual content that enhance learning outcomes. Shafrir received doctorate in mathematical sciences from the University of California at Los Angeles and doctorate in developmental psychology from York University, Toronto. Shafrir was founder and director of the Institute of Planetary and Space Science at Tel-Aviv University; before moving to the University of Toronto he was Adjunct Professor at the University of Wisconsin and at Columbia University.
