Cognition and Development
Faculty: Dor Abrahamson, Paul Ammon, Anne Cunningham, Andrea diSessa, Randi Engle, Maryl Gearhart, Bernard Gifford, Carolyn Hartsough, Susan Holloway, Marcia Linn, Kathleen Metz, Na'ilah Nasir, Michael Ranney, Elisa K. Salasin, Geoffrey Saxe, Alan Schoenfeld, Elliot Turiel, Barbara White, Mark Wilson, Frank Worrell, Gary Yabrove, Daniel Zimmerlin.Cognition and Development focuses on the interplay among cognitive, social, and developmental processes in diverse areas of human knowledge and experience. The faculty concentrate on learning in mathematics, science, and technology, as well as broader cognitive, social, and moral development. Faculty research typically occurs in field settings (classrooms, museums, informal social groups), providing fertile sites for theoretical advances as well as the improvement of educational practices. The Cognition and Development area of study supports both professional and academic programs, each enriching the other in courses and research opportunities.
CD offers the following programs:
Development in Mathematics and Science (DMS)
Education in Mathematics, Science, and Technology
Human Development and Education
Joint Doctoral Program in Special Education
Master's and Credential in Science and Mathematics Education (MACSME)
Most CD students belong to one or more Research Groups.
"The CD program is grounded in the idea of cognitive apprenticeship, in which students become engaged with research from their very first days in the program. Typically CD students belong to at least one research group, in which students and faculty are involved in the conduct of ongoing research. These research groups, which are listed as courses, evolve in topic and focus as the research interests of the students and faculty evolve. They provide a "hands on" introduction to research for CD students, and a laboratory for the development of their ongoing ideas." See a list of our current research groups.
