GaliciaBlackman|2CognitiveDevelopmentinPost-SecondaryLearners
Aftera15-yearresearchprojectinvolvinginterviewswithjustover100Harvardmeninthe1960s,educationalpsychologistWilliamPerrytheorizedthatadultlearnersmovethroughdifferentstagesoflearning,ordevelopmentalpositions.Byplacingemphasison“theformsthatstudentvoiceswouldtake”(Knefelkamp,1998,p.xiv),Perrybroughtattentiontothechangesstudentsundergointhepost-secondaryeducationsetting.Perry’sSchemeofCognitiveDevelopment
WhilePerryoriginallyidentifiedninepositions,subsequentscholars(Knefelkamp&Slepitza,1978;Kloss,1994;Moore,1994;Hofer&Pintrich,1997)havecondensedthesepositionstosimplifyhisschemeasfollows:
dualism perceivingknowledgeasfacts,eithercorrectorwrong
multiplicity inadditiontorecognizingthatknowledgeismadeupoffactsandsometimesevensubordinatingfact,recognizingthatopinionsarealsoknowledge--transitioningthroughaprocessofseeingallknowledgeasopinion,tosiftingthroughopinionswithaninclinationtodismissthosethatcontradictone’sunderstandings
relativism recognizingknowledgeascomplexandcontextualandthatmultiple,evencontraryopinionscanco-exist
commitment takingapositionbyharnessingmultipleopinionstoconvergeintoapersonalworldview
Twoimportantthemeswithdirectimplicationsforpost-secondaryteachingandlearningemergefromtheseoverarchingpositions:students’understandingofknowledgeandtheirrelationshiptoauthority.
Students’UnderstandingofKnowledgeTraditionaluniversity-agedstudentstypicallycometotheclassroomthinkingdualistically,
perceivingknowledgeaseitherrightorwrong.Theyexpectthataprofessor(orotherauthorities)willprovidethecontentbyclearlyindicatingwhatisfactualandtrueandimportant.Whentheyattempttoprocessdiverseperspectives,studentsmayrecognizethatknowledgeisconstitutedofconflictingcontentandmoveintoPerry’spositionofmultiplicity.Theymayexperienceconfusioninhowtoprocessconflictingperspectivesand,astheyseesomeauthoritiesasgoodandothersbad,theymaydismissunpalatableideastoresolvethatconfusion.Althoughstudentsareincreasinglyopentouncertaintyinknowledge,theyhaveyettobeabletobetocopewithdiversityinknowledge.
Ifstudentsbecomeabletoholdmultipleperspectivesatthesametimeandrecognizethatknowledgeiscomplexandcontextual,thentheymoveintorelativism.Thisisaqualitativeshiftfromdualisticthinking(whichframesknowledgeonedimensionally—eithertrueorfalse—andcomingfromanexternalsource)andfrommultiplicity(whichperceivesknowledgeasmostlyopinion).
Awordaboutterminology:While“development”suggeststhatmovingforwardtoanotherpositionisimprovement,Perryemphasizedthatstudentsmayreverttoapreviousstagewhenconfrontedwithneworchallenginglearningsituations,aresponsethatcanhelpinadjustingtothesenewsituations.Hisword“positions”alsoreflectsthisdynamicmovement,ratherthananabsolutestateofbeingorafixedidentity.
GaliciaBlackman|3CognitiveDevelopmentinPost-SecondaryLearners
Ifstudentsarriveataworldviewshapedbythemultipleperspectivestheyhavebeenexposedtoovertime,theymaymoveintoapositionofcommitment.Here,studentsrecognizethattheycanbeproducersofknowledge.Fewstudentswereidentifiedatthefinalstagesofthescheme.
Students’RelationshiptoAuthorityIntheearlystages,studentsfeeldependentonauthorityfigures.Whenconfrontedwithnew
learningsituations,studentsindualisticmodesexpecttheinstructortotellthemwhattheyneedtodo,andeveniftheymovetomultiplicity,theystilltendtoexpecttheinstructortoclearlysetmostoftheparametersoftheirlearning.Inthelatterpositions,studentsaremorereflectiveaboutwhattheyknowandmorelikelytomaketheirowndecisionsaboutknowledge.Eventually,theytakeresponsibilityandapplytheirknowledge,perhapsevencommittotheirownbeliefsandcreatenewknowledge.
Perry’sresearchwasimportantforitsinsightabouthowyoungadultsconfrontunfamiliarcontentinnewlearningenvironments.AccordingtoHoferandPintrich(1997,p.93),Perrywasthefirsttosuggestthathowuniversitystudentsmakemeaningoftheireducationalexperiencesisnotsimplyareflectionoftheirpersonalitiesbutinsteadanevolvingdevelopmentalprocess.Previousmodelsofhowstudentslearnhadsimplisticallypresentedstudentsaspassiverecipientsofknowledge.Perry’sinterviews,whichfocusedonhowthestudentsunderstoodtheirlearningcontexts,resultedinindicationsthatthesestudentsactivelyengageintheirlearning,providinganalternativemodelforinterpretingstudents’responsestotheuniversityenvironment.
Perry’sresearchencourageseducatorstoreconsidersomecommonassumptionsaboutadultlearners.Adultlearnersarenotnecessarilyindependentlearners,norabletorecognizethatknowledgeisdiverse,eventhoughtheymayhavehadmanyyearsofformalschooling;neitheraretheyblankslates.Innewlearningsituations,evenmaturelearnerswillresemblethedualisticstudentswhoarehighlydependentonauthorityuntiltheybecomemorecomfortablewiththesubjectmatterandslightlymoreindependentlearners.Perry’sdevelopmentalmodelofferseducatorstoolsforevaluatingstudents’varyinglevelsofreadinessforsubjectmatterandskills.
ThePerryschemehasfoundmultipleiterationsinitsapplicationsinspecializedstudiesofhowpost-secondarystudentslearn.Thelimitationsoftheoriginalschemehaveledresearchersandeducatorstomodifyhiscategories,buttheframingprinciplesthatstudentsmovefrompassive,dependentstages,tomoreassertive,independentstagesisaconsistentapplicationofthePerryscheme.
BuildingOnPerrySomeofthemostwell-knowndevelopmentalworkonhowstudentslearnhadbeenpredominantly
aboutchildren,conductedbypsychologistssuchasLevVygotsky,JeanPiaget,andJeromeBruner.Perryshiftedthefocustoadultlearnersandlearninginnewandchallengingsituationsforevenexperiencedstudents.Hisworkhascontributedtoatleastnoticeablethreebranchesofthoughtaboutadultlearners:
• MaryFieldBelenky,BlytheMcVickerClinchy,NancyRuleGoldberger,andJillMattuckTaruleextendPerry’sworkbyfocusingon“women’swaysofknowing,”astheytitledtheirbook,
• BaxterMagoldaintroducesawayofrecognizinglearners’awarenessofwhatandhowtheyknow,and
• PatriciaKingandKarenKitchenerfocusonwaysofthinkingaboutproblemsolving.
GaliciaBlackman|4CognitiveDevelopmentinPost-SecondaryLearners
AllofthesebranchespivotonPerry’semphasisofhowstudentsarticulatetheirunderstandingoftheirlearningprocessesandknowledge.Thethemes“students’understandingofknowledge”and“students’relationshiptoauthority”aretakenuptovaryingdegreesbyeachofthesebranches.
Belenky,Clinchy,Goldberger,andTarule:Women’sWaysofKnowingWomen'sWaysofKnowing:TheDevelopmentofSelf,Voice,andMind(1986)reportsonthe
researchofBelenky,Clinchy,Goldberger,andTarule,allofwhomhadpreviouslybeenstudyingstudentdevelopment.BelenkyandTarulehadstudiedwithPerry,andBelenkyhadalsoworkedwithCarolGilliganinlookingatwomen’svoiceinhumandevelopment.
Concernedwithfemalestudents’complaintsabouttheireducationalexperiences,thefourresearcherssetouttostudywomenbecausePerry’songoingresearchconcludedthatwomenconformedtohisschemebasedonhisworkwithmalestudents.Intheearlystagesoftheirresearch,manyoftheanswerswomengavetoPerry’sinterviewquestionsdidnoteasilyfithiswell-acceptedscheme,sowhilePerry’semphasisonepistemologyor“waysofknowing”becamethemainorganizingprincipleofthedatathatemergedfromtheirinterviews,theyexpandedthescopeofinfluencebyselecting135womenfromdiverselearningcontexts:collegewomen,alumnae,andwomeninwhattheycalled“invisiblecolleges”orhumanserviceagencies.
Belenky,Clinchy,Goldberger,andTarulefoundthatthewomen’sassumptionsabouttheirknowledgeultimatelyinfluencedhowtheyperceivedthemselves.Thewomenintheirstudydidnotdescribetheirlearninginlinearways;insteadtheydescribedlearningintermsofspeakingandlistening.Theirfindingsthusfocusontheinterrelatednessofwomen’sminds,voices,andselves—asindicatedintheirsubtitle—identifyingfivewaysofknowing:
silence identifyingthemselvesasmindless,voiceless,andatthewhimofexternalauthority
receivedknowledge believingthemselvescapableofreceivingknowledge
subjectiveknowledge believingthemselvescapableofintuitingknowledge
proceduralknowledge investinginpursuingknowledge
constructedknowledge seeingthemselvesasproducersandconsumersofknowledge
Althoughthisworkwasgroundbreakingasitdrewattentionexplicitlytowomen’swaysofprocessingknowledge,theauthorsarecarefultopointoutthatsimilarcategoriescanbefoundinmen’sthinkingandresistessentialistorbinarialcharacterizationsofwomenandmen.

KingandKitchener’sDevelopingReflectiveJudgment:UnderstandingandPromotingIntellectualGrowthandCriticalThinkinginAdolescentsandAdults(1994)emphasizeshowpeoplemakedecisionstoresolvedifficultsituations.TheycreditJohnDewey’snotionof“reflectivejudgment,”someofPiaget’sdevelopmentalconcepts,andworkdonebyarangeofotherdevelopmentaltheorists,includingPerry,whoseworkwasbeingwidelydiscussedintheacademiccommunityasKingandKitchenerwereconductingtheirresearch.Theywereinspiredtoaskquestionsaboutthenatureofintellectualdevelopment,focusingonanalyzingresponsestoproblemswhichdonothaveexplicitsolutions.Theyconductedresearchwitharangeofadultlearnersincludingbutnotlimitedtocollegestudents(fromhighschoolstudentstomiddle-agedadults)anddevelopedtheReflectiveJudgmentModel(RJM).
