Prof. Feuerstein
and his staff will conduct comprehensive workshops to introduce educators,
psychologists and other specialists to the theory and practice of Structural
Cognitive Modifiability (SCM) and Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), developed
by Prof. Reuven Feuerstein, and to train a cadre of experienced professionals
in the use of dynamic assessment and Instrumental Enrichment intervention for
their students’ or clients’ benefit.
This theory states that learning ability can be significantly enhanced,
regardless of age, nature, cause or severity of condition. Clinical observations over decades have shown
that the development of thinking processes is highly dependent on the nature
and quality of the interaction within which selected stimuli are mediated by
parents, educators, etc. All workshops
incorporate an introduction or review of the theory of Structural Cognitive
Modifiability and Mediated Learning Experience.
Mediated
Learning Experience for Parents 11-14
July
This introductory workshop is intended for those parents who wish to
learn about the basic principles of the theory of structural cognitive
modifiability and mediated learning experience and their applied systems. An overview of the criteria of mediation, deficient
cognitive functions will be given together with the illustration of how these
theoretical tools can be used in assessment and intervention with special needs
children. Workshops on how to mediate to
a child. Live demonstration of the
Learning Potential Assessment Device. Duration: 16 hours (one evening and three
mornings).
Learning
Potential Assessment Device (LPAD)
The LPAD is a system of
dynamic assessment of cognitive modifiability, structured as a mediational
interaction. Its primary goal is to
produce a sample of change in the cognitive structure of the individual to
serve as an indicator of the individual’s learning potential and point out the
optimal modes of necessary intervention.
LPAD can be applied as an individual clinical technique and with groups
of children, adolescents and adults with diverse levels of functioning and
differing etiological conditions.
LPAD I 11-22 July
Focusing on individual
clinical assessment, this workshop will comprise:
a. Intensive instruction in LPAD; the use
of instruments and interpretation of results; b. Demonstration and practice in
LPAD testing, emphasizing the cognitive processes involved, quality of
evaluator-child interaction and the derivation of recommendations from the
analysis of results.
LPAD II - Veterans 11-22 July
Admission to this workshop
is limited to those previously trained in LPAD-1. Applications should be sent to Prof.
Feuerstein with letters of recommendation and relevant documentation from an
authorized trainer as to previous certification and recognized LPAD supervision
of adequate experience. Topics included
in this workshop: Advanced theory of
mediation for dynamic assessment;
Higher level LPAD
instruments; Principles and techniques of group assessment; Analysis of profiles
of modifiability; practical experience in individual assessment and report
writing..
LPAD for Young Children
(LPAD-B) 11-22 July
A new training model
includes the principles and
techniques of using a new battery of tasks intended for pre-school children or
children with severe developmental delay. Currently the battery which is still
under construction, includes the following sub-tests: Part-Whole; Functional
Part-Whole; Concept Formation; Progressions; Absurdities; Define the Problem;
Puzzles; Spatial Orientation; Associative Function Memory; Part-Whole
Associative Recall; Visual Transport; Picture Assembly; Reversal Test;
Labyrinth; Segregation of Lines; Organization of Dots; Complex Figure.
Instrumental Enrichment (IE)
IE is an intervention
program designed to modify the cognitive structure of students in classrooms
and individually with diverse populations ranging from retarded performers to
gifted underachievers and adult populations in industrial settings and
continuing education. The program aims
at correcting deficient cognitive functions and enhancing the individual’s
capacity to learn more effectively from direct exposure in formal as well as informal
learning situations.
IE Level I - Beginners 11-22 July
Teacher
as a mediator; Overview of the IE program; Small group practice in lesson
planning for diverse populations. Comprehensive instruction in the material and
didactics of Organization of Dots; Comparisons; Analytic Perception; Orientation in
Space I & II; Illustrations; Categorization.
IE Level II – Advanced 11-22 July
Only teachers with previous
training in first level instruments may participate.
Applied aspects of MLE
with diverse populations; Small group practice in lesson planning for diverse
populations and application of principles of IE to various academic subjects.
Comprehensive instruction in the material and didactics of 7 additional
instruments: Family
Relations; Temporal Relations; Representational Stencil Design ; Instructions;
Numerical Progressions; Syllogisms; Transitive Relations
IE Trainers I 11-22 July
This third level of IE
training is an advanced phase offered for IE practitioners who have trained in
the past in all 14 IE instruments, yet have limited experience in classroom
application or have discontinued their practice. At the same time it is a
compulsory phase of training leading to the IE level IV - Trainers II workshop.
Participants will receive
up-to-date information on topics such as: Reviewed versions of IE instruments
and new didactic methods of application; Techniques of observation and
evaluation of IE interactions on the basis of MLE criteria; “Bridging” of IE
principles and didactics to specific academic areas.
Graduates
of this workshop will be granted certification enabling them to function as IE
classroom consultants and co-trainers under the supervision of qualified IE
trainers within the framework of an
IE Level IV - Trainers II 11-22 July
Entrance
limited to previously trained people with at least 2 years classroom
application experience in all 14 IE instruments. Prior participation in the IE Trainers I
phase of training is an additional condition.
Applications should be sent to Prof. Feuerstein with relevant
documentation reflecting previous certification in IE training, type and amount
of direct classroom teaching of IE and letters of recommendation from an
This workshop will comprise such
topics as: Advanced theory of MLE and its classroom implications; MLE in
teacher training; Review and intensive analysis of IE material and didactics;
Differential use of IE with various student populations; Critical analysis of
videotaped training lessons; The system-oriented approach in the application of
IE; Promotion of the IE program and the organization of an ATC.
Each participant in this
workshop will be required to write a final paper (during the workshop)
reflecting his or her experience relevant aspects of IE and MLE. The papers
will serve as a basis for group discussion.
Graduates
of this workshop will be certified as fully authorized IE trainers of other
teachers and practitioners.
Instrumental Enrichment for Young Children (IE-B) 11-22 July
This new course introduces a series of mostly non-verbal instruments to
be used with younger children or children with low performance level. Program
goals and methods of application;
Ways of attending to the development of
basic cognitive functions, verbal and conceptual tools, spatial and temporal
concepts and representational activities. Methods of promoting reflective
thinking and internal motivation, and the development of the child’s feeling as
a generator of information rather than a passive reproducer of information;
Practice in new instruments adapted to the early stages of child development.
The
Tactile IE program for visually impaired & blind and children with
attentional deficits July 19-22
The objective of this
workshop is to introduce educators, psychologists, clinical professionals and
parents to the innovative tactile version of the IE program based on a
combination of unique technology, new original design and classical IE
concepts. The workshop includes the following topics: Multi-sensory approach (Touch-Motion-Sound) in IE
tactile programs; Advantages of kinesthetic and tactile modality of mediation
in MLE; Tactile exploration as a tool of focusing, organizing and ordering
explorative process in ADHD children; Tactile IE design as a new tool for
articulating active explorative behavior in children with motivational
problems; Tactile IE symbolic
representation as a tool for advancing mental imagery and
conceptualization.
