ABOUT THE FEUERSTEIN METHOD:

 

The Feuerstein Method is originated by Prof. Reuven Feuerstein who was a clinical, developmental and cognitive psychologist. He thought that we need to teach the vitally important – and often overlooked – skill of learning how to learn.

 

How It Works? The Feuerstein Method is comprised of two applied learning systems; the Learning Propensity Assessment Device (LPAD) and Instrumental Enrichment (IE). The goal of the LPAD is to identify an individual’s learning potential how one learns best and how extensive one can learn. The goal of IE cognitive intervention program is to teach individuals the thinking skills that are necessary for effective and active learners.

 

The Feuerstein Difference: For more than 50 years, and in over 40 countries, Prof. Feuerstein’s theories and applied systems have been implemented in both classroom and clinical settings. His theory has led to more than 2,000 scientific research studies and countless case studies with various populations.

 

The Feuerstein Assessment explore your potential and how you can learn effectively: The Learning Propensity Assessment Device (LPAD) is consisted of a series of tests used to determine how an individual learns. The LPAD battery consists of several instruments. The LPAD is different from traditional educational and psychological evaluations. The LPAD instruments include all of the important forms of information processing – verbal, pictorial, numerical, figural, symbolic and graphic.

 

There are three sets of Instrumental Enrichment programs: The IE Basic program for young children and low-functioning individuals; the IE Standard program, which is used with older children, high-school students, and adult learners of all ages; and the IE Tactile program for ADD/ADHD individuals. The fundamental assumption of the IE program is that intelligence is modifiable, not fixed: Instrumental Enrichment (IE) is a cognitive intervention program that can be used both individually and in within the classroom. It has been successfully used worldwide as a tool for the enhancement of learning potential and cognitive functioning of children and adults. To date, the IE program has been successfully used in the following frameworks: Enrichment programs for underachieving, regular and gifted children Remedial programs for special needs children Cognitive rehabilitation of brain injured individuals and psychiatric patients Professional training and retraining programs in the industrial, military and business sectors.

 

 

FEUERSTEIN INSTRUMENTAL ENRICHMENT BASIC:

 

FIE Basic consists of a set of playful learning activities that develop basic concepts and thinking skills of younger children and low-functioning individuals. Learners explore the operations of comparison, orientation in space, analysis of geometric shapes, numerical skills, empathy for others and the like – all with the help of a mediator who guides the learners to develop strategies for problem solving and analytical thinking.

 

The Basic program has ten separate segments called “instruments” which are targeted to early learning needs in mathematics, literacy and social interaction. The learner uses to make applications or bridges the learned concepts to school subjects and to the outside world. The role of the teacher is unique in that she or he acts, not as a teller of information, but instead as a “mediator”– one who suggests strategies, asks leading questions, and coaches, so that the learner is actively involved in the problem-solving process.

 

Significant improvement in students reported in the research in several countries:

Motor Development, Language Development, Reading Comprehension, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematical Computation, Logical Relationships, Knowledge Acquisition, General Reasoning, Observed Thinking Behaviours, Reduction of Anti-Social Behaviour, Real-World Problem-Solving Situations, Awareness of their own Thought Process,

 

Some of the cognitive functions enhanced by the program include:

Comparison, Time Relationships, Categorization, Numerical Relationships, Finding Patterns Creating, Following Exact Instructions, Orientation in Space, Overcoming Impulsivity, Using Logic Analysis and Being Precise.

 

The implementations have included after-school tutorial programs which have proven to be a valuable supplement to regular-school instruction, again with measurable gains by students.

 

The Instruments of the FIE Basic program are following:

1. Organization of Dots, 2.Orientation in Space, 3.Identifying Emotions, 4.Compare and Discover the Absurd, 5.From Unit to Group, 6. From Empathy to Action, 7. Tri-Channel Attentional Learning,
2. Know and Identify, 9. Think and Learn to Prevent Violence, 10. Learn to Ask Questions for Reading Comprehension.

ABOUT PROFESSOR REUVEN FEUERSTEIN:

 

Professor Feuerstein was the Founder and Chairman of the Feuerstein Institute. A clinical, developmental and cognitive psychologist, he was responsible for the vision, concepts, practices and substance of what makes up the Feuerstein Institute.

 

Feuerstein completed degrees in General and Clinical Psychology at the University of Geneva, where he studied under Andre Rey and Jean Piaget. In 1970, Feuerstein earned his PhD in Developmental Psychology at the University of Sorbonne, France. His major areas of study were Developmental, Clinical and Cognitive Psychology.

 

He developed new methods of evaluation and new teaching tools that searched for cognitive flexibility (the ability to learn) and built on those abilities. Through research, he discovered that the key to meaningful instruction for all children is the mediated relationship. The Feuerstein Institute, which he founded and directed, not only treats people from around the world but also trains therapists and educators internationally in the famed Feuerstein Method.

 

For his ground-breaking work, Professor Feuerstein has received numerous awards. These include, among others, the Israel Prize in Education; and the Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques, France.  He also was a 2012 Nobel Peace Prize nominee.
