Forming synchronous and asynchronous learning networks utilizing internet has been simplified by new technologies. The present study investigated the effects of learners’ choice of cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies on vocabulary gain and retention levels in the e-learning context. 180 participants took part in this study and 120 audio podcasts plus still and animated pictures were presented to the participants in the Telegram channel. 23 strategy items on a 5-point Likert scale were presented to the participants by means of a voting robot system on the main page of the channel after the treatment. Additionally, an immediate as well as a delayed vocabulary posttest in the form of multiple-choice were administered, separately. Four one-way ANOVAs were run in order to answer the questions. The results revealed that the choice of cognitive strategy significantly affected the level of vocabulary gain and retention. In other words, learners who applied more cognitive strategies had higher levels in vocabulary gain and retention. However, the choice of meta-cognitive strategy had no considerable influence on vocabulary gain and retention.

The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between reading strategy use and reading comprehension as mediated by reading rate amongst advanced EFL students who received eye movement training by Rapid Visual Presentation (RSVP) technology. Seventy-two EFL learners participated in the study and received instruction for enhancing their reading speed via Reading Trainer Application for twelve consecutive weeks. Their entry-level of reading strategies awareness was assessed by the Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory prior to and after the study. Their reading comprehension was assessed by International English System Test before and after the study. Their reading rate was also recorded prior to and after the study. Modelling the relationship between strategy use and reading comprehension as mediated by reading rate was tested prior to the study and the findings showed that the model was not statistically significant. The model was reassessed after the experiment and the results lent credence to the fact that eye training via RSVP for speed reading led to a mediating role for reading rate in the relationship between strategy use and reading comprehension. The results support the fact that reading rate is a contributory factor in understanding reading passages and integrating speed reading training using the-state-of-the-art technologies into reading instruction should be considered in EFL reading courses.

Teoria naiwnego poznania jest jednym z najbardziej wpływowych podejść opisujących proces nabywania wiedzy. Zgodnie z nią o przebiegu procesu epistemicznego decyduje w pierwszej kolejności motywacja do uzyskania domknięcia poznawczego. W większości przypadków duże natężenie tej motywacji wiąże się z uproszczonym i przyspieszonym przetwarzaniem informacji. Fakt ten może prowadzić do nadmiernie uproszczonego rozumienia tej zmiennej. W rzeczywistości istnieją przesłanki do twierdzenia, że w pewnych okolicznościach typowa zależność ulega odwróceniu. Artykuł zawiera przegląd badań potwierdzających to przewidywanie. Wyniki przeanalizowano ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem dwóch postulatów teorii: dwóch faz procesu epistemicznego i dwoistej natury potrzeby poznawczego domknięcia.

Lay epistemic theory is one of the most popular theoretical frameworks describing the knowledge formation process. According to it, the central variable determining the epistemic process is the need for cognitive closure. In most cases, high levels of this motivation are associated with simplified and accelerated processing of information. This can lead to an overly simplified understanding of this variable. In fact, there are reasons to believe that the typical relationship is reversed under certain circumstances. The paper is a review of the research supporting this prediction. Results were analyzed with particular emphasis on two postulates of the theory: the two phases of the epistemic process and the dual nature of the need for cognitive closure.

In the following article, I am taking into consideration the issues related to the mechanisms which are responsible for the course of learning, understood as the process of the conceptualization of knowledge, as well as the issues related to teaching a child with intellectual disability. The discussion is primarily set within the socio-cultural theory of human development, as well as developmental and cognitive psychology. The perspectives forming the framework of this article are the perspective of a learning child, and the perspective of the learning/teaching child. I am trying to indicate both the deficit areas being responsible for having difficulties in learning and getting familiar with the world by a child with intellectual disability (this meaning the deficits within the scope of cognitive, memory, and metacognitive strategies), as well as the possibilities, fields, and methods of supporting the learning process by an adult. I am indicating the importance if intersubjectivity, instruction, the experience in indirect learning, as well as emphasizing the need for adequately constructing the environment in which a child is functioning. I acknowledge that a responsive adult (ready to respond to a child's needs) is an integral part of the process of the conceptualization of knowledge by the child. When teaching, the adult simultaneously learns how to support the learning child with intellectual disability.

W niniejszym artykule przyglądam się zagadnieniom związanym z mechanizmami odpowiadającymi za przebieg uczenia się, rozumianego jako proces konceptualizacji wiedzy oraz zagadnieniom związanym z uczeniem (nauczaniem) dziecka z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną. Rozważania osadzone zostały przede wszystkim w kontekście społeczno-kulturowej teorii rozwoju człowieka, psychologii rozwojowej i poznawczej. Perspektywy, które tworzą ramy niniejszego artykuły to perspektywa uczącego się dziecka i perspektywa osoby uczącej dziecko. Staram się wskazać zarówno obszary deficytowe odpowiedzialne za trudności w uczeniu się i poznawaniu świata przez dziecko z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną (deficyty w zakresie strategii poznawczych, pamięciowych, metapoznawczych) oraz możliwości, płaszczyzny i sposoby wspierania procesu uczenia się przez dorosłego. Wskazuję znaczenie intersubiektywności, instruktażu, doświadczenia upośrednionego uczenia oraz podkreślam konieczność adekwatnej konstrukcji otoczenia, w którym funkcjonuje dziecko. Uznaję, iż responsywny (gotów odpowiadać na potrzeby dziecka), dorosły stanowi integralny element procesu konceptualizacji wiedzy przez dziecko. Ucząc, sam jednocześnie uczy się, jak wspierać uczące się dziecko z niepełnosprawnością intelektualną.
