Reconceptualising Information Processing for Education

The book presents a novel conceptualization of universal information processing systems based on environmental interaction in biological and non-biological systems, demonstrating how a single overarching framework can be applied to the investigation of human learning and memory. It offers educational researchers and educators an opportunity to re-think their approach to instruction, taking all facets of student learning environments into account to increase human knowledge, skills, and experiences.

This groundbreaking book presents a novel and groundbreaking conceptualization of universal information processing systems, drawing upon extensive research into environmental interactions in both biological and non-biological systems. By employing this conceptualization, the author aims to demonstrate how a single, overarching framework can be applied to the study of human learning and memory, encompassing the exploration of matter and energy pathways and their intricate connections. Instead of relying solely on theoretical constructs or scientific practices, the author takes a stance that is rooted in everyday interactions and combines it with scientific methodologies. This approach allows the author to consider educational theories and practices, exemplified by the widely recognized cognitive load theory, in a fresh and insightful manner. By bridging the gap between these theories and practices and integrating them more closely with scientific thinking, the book embraces a holistic perspective on informational interactions, extending beyond traditional conceptualizations of patterns, signals, or meanings. This comprehensive approach offers educational researchers and educators a valuable opportunity to re-examine their approach to instruction. By taking into account all aspects of student learning environments, the book aims to enhance human knowledge, skills, and experiences across society. By delving into the complexities of environmental interactions and their impact on human cognition, this book provides valuable insights into the nature of learning and the potential for innovative educational practices. It serves as a testament to the power of interdisciplinary research and the importance of considering multiple perspectives in the pursuit of knowledge.
