The Theory of Mediated Learning Experience in Research and Practical Application

This bachelor thesis focuses on the Mediated Learning Experience theory (MLE). The main goal of this thesis is to map various areas of research and practice, where the MLE theory is used. Firstly, the literary review presents basic information on R. Feuerstein's approach and defines the Mediated Learning Experience. Furthermore, these theoretical findings are supplemented by neurocogotnive and neuroscientific results. Following chapters consider different potential applications of the Mediated Learning Experience theory, especially for the groups of culturaly depressed, then MLE in the family context, between the peers and also in the education. The research has shown that there is an absence of scientific evidence on MLE in a teacher-pupil relationship. The aim of the second part of the thesis is to investigate the influence of the MLE on the relationship between teacher and pupil from the persepctive of the pupil, as this has not yet been considered. For this purpose a quantitave research project based on an observation of the level of mediation used by the teacher and on a questionner that evaluates teacher-pupil relation has been proposed.
