个人简介
Dr. Kirby's research concerns the applications of cognitive psychology to educational issues and has three major thrusts:
Cognitive processes underlying successful reading. Processes such as phonological awareness, naming speed, orthographic processing, and morphological awareness are examined in learning to read. Other research concerns reading to learn, addressing comprehension processes and instructional conditions. This research has been supported by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and has involved numerous graduate students.
Conceptions of learning. This research explores students' and workers' understanding of learning, for instance with regard to deep and surface learning, lifelong learning, and self-regulated learning, and the effects these conceptions have on the quality of learning in school and the workplace. Current topics include critical thinking, continuing professional education, and the use of information technology in learning.
Spatial cognition. This research investigates how students learn to use and think about maps, graphs and three-dimensional visual displays.
Dr. Kirby taught in the Educational Psychology/Cognitive Studies area. At the graduate level, his courses included Cognitive Studies, Psychological Foundations of Learning, Psychology of Reading and Psychology of Learning Disabilities, as well as Quantitative Research Methods. He continues to advise and supervise students at the Honours, Master's, and Doctoral levels. His students have a strong record of completion and success, and have won thesis prizes.
