Building Learning Structures Inside the Head

Mediation involves three things: pointing out the stimuli (what needs to be given attention to), giving it meaning, and providing a strategy. To use mediation we use the following four structures: a structure for data and a structure for discipline, cognitive strategies or processes, conceptual framework (or schema's), and sorting mechanisms. The structure for data is analogous to the guts, the skeleton of the information storage/understanding, the structure for the discipline is simply the tools to differentiate between different types of data; for example mathematics is used and stored in an entirely different way than artistic impressions are.

I found this section of the article very informative, the author takes each of the structures and steps of mediation into great detail that is easy to concretely understand an incorporate into the lessons, strategies I am currently learning in class. I have been able to comprehend the subject and ways to teach these children better than some of the other categories of technical language that I have been exposed to so for in my education.
