Abstract

Mediated Learning Experience: Choosing Cognitive Modifiability

Highlights

  • Adaptive and critical thinking skills are key to effective task engagement

  • How do you build these skills in individuals where they are lacking? Reuven Feuerstein [1] suggests a cognitive modifiability process by which achievement is possible [1]

  • The Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment program (FIE) program is an approach to applying the theoretical principles of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM) and Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) using instruments designed to enhance modifiability in the learner

Summary

Anthony Shay*

Reuven Feuerstein developed a cognitive modifiability theory he termed Structural Cognitive Modifiability. A facet of this process is the mediated learning experience (MLE). The MLE involves a mediator placing themselves between the individual and environmental stimuli and mediating the experience to the individual. A process whereby meaning making occurs and is deliberately reinforced toward the individual’s development of selfmediation defined by Feuerstein as reciprocation. An MLE is comprised of three primary elements including intention/reciprocity, mediation of transcendence, and mediation of meaning. Mediational elements such as these form the basis of the adaptability and meaning making we know as intellect.
