Q2. What future works have the authors mentioned in the paper "Learning is moving in new ways: the ecological dynamics of mathematics education" ?
As the authors consider future directions for theories of learning as well as the opportunities for learning that will coemerge with these theories, they believe that in more than one sense learning is moving in new ways.
Q3. What is the key to the success of nonlinear pedagogy?
Key to the success of nonlinear pedagogy is creating physical and cultural conditions that enable and encourage athletes to engage in subjective exploration and self-discovery, wherein variability and flexibility are regarded as positive outcomes (Vereijken & Whiting, 1990).
Q4. What is the role of attentional anchors in the study?
The agent acts on the attentional anchor as its control panel and dashboard, which the agent experiences as overlaid on the perceptual field—the attentional anchor becomes the mediating proxy for both operating on the environment and interpreting feedback from the environment.
Q5. What is the objective of nonlinear pedagogy?
The objective of nonlinear pedagogy is to optimize systemic opportunities for athletes to develop robust skills that are both task appropriate and tailored to their organismic constraints.
Q6. What is the cellist’s new way of controlling the quality of sound?
The bond, which had been latent to the environment and outside the scope of tacit consciousness, is now the new thing that the cellist manipulates as his means of controlling the quality of sound.
Q7. What was the effect of the grid on the participants?
As they attempted to determine effective bimanual choreographies for manipulating the system, and still before the grid was introduced, participants discerned within the sensorimotor interaction field latent structures affording utilities for better satisfying the task objective.
Q8. What are the constraints that affect the behavior of a dynamical system?
When a dynamical system consists of human agents engaged in goal-oriented activity, its self-organizing behavior can be affected or “channeled” (Araújo & Davids, 2004, p. 50) by different types of constraints.
Q9. What are the constraints affecting systemic behavior?
Within the ecological dynamics framework, the human agent’s intentions concerning goals to be achieved are just one among other constraints affecting systemic behavior.
Q10. What are the main constraints in the learning environment?
Button, and Bennet (2008) and Renshaw, Chow, Davids, and Hammond (2010) have proposed a nonlinear pedagogical approach to motoraction learning based on introducing and modifying constraints in the learning environment.
Q11. What is the way to teach a student to strike the keys?
3Consider a piano teacher who would like his student to strike the keys with fingers extending flat rather than curved at the knuckles.
Q12. What was the role of the book in the development of the piano?
The book played the role of an enabling task constraint: Initially it was restrictive, and yet it shaped a new way of relating to the piano.
