Today finally I have spent quite some time redesigning my new mindscribble.net web page. Although I have not finished all the pages, I have nevertheless migrated most of the content from the old web page. In the next few days and weeks, I am committed to upload new content. It turns out that it is easier to devote a certain amount of time, if not every day, at least a few times a week to the web content. I also now consolidated and listed most of my multiple accounts and profiles in the home page, including my personal profiles (e.g., facebook, twitter), as well as my professional ones (linkedin, OrchidID, ResearcherID, GitHub, etc.).

Empowerment, Cognition and Learning

By
I read a very interesting editorial article in Science this month, written by Bruce Alberts [1]. The editorial raises attention to the science function to frame "scientific habits of mind" including skeptical attitudes and emphasis on logic and evidence. Some clear characteristics of such scientific habits of mind are honesty, creativity and openness to new ideas. It also calls for a new type of science education that aims to empower how students think and act, especially when are called to perform challenging problem-solving tasks. Empowering students for learning is not a new idea. I would point to Bloom's taxonomical approach to learning [2]. Among other functions, Bloom's taxonomy addresses issues of quality of life [3], computer-based problem solving [4], or the empowerment of multiple intelligences [5]. The taxonomical approach to learning, dating back to the late 1950's was developed by Benjamin Bloom as a cognitive tool to boost the intellectual intellig...
