Creating a long overdue Scandura Wikipedia page
Joseph M. Scandura has published over 210 scientific articles and has written or co-authored 8 books in a field called "Structural Learning" (originally by Z.P. Dienes a well-known mathematician and math educator and later adopted by Scandura). Scandura's Structural Learning Theory was first introduced in the Journal of Structural Learning in 1971 as "Deterministic Theorizing in Structural Learning". This article introduced three partial theories of competence, cognition, individual differences and memory. The theory was tested and latter refined and extended two books. The first "Structural Learning (Volume 1): Theory and Research" was first published in 1973 by Gordon & Breach in New York and London. The second "Problem Solving" was published in 1977 by Academic Press. The two Scandura books on Structural Learning books were republished on 17 September 2017 in London by Routledge (DOIhttps://doi.org/10.4324/9781315212326, 384 pages, eBook ISBN9781315212326). Scandura organized a series of international interdisciplinary conferences where held annually in "Structural learning" with leaders in artificial intelligence, mathematics and science education, cognitive, developmental and educational psychology and instructional design. Originally held at the University of Pennsylvania from 1967 through a NATO sponsored conference in 1977 organized by Scandura and Charles Brainard in Banff, Canada. The cognitive sciences, which included only AI and cognitive psychology (omitting individual differences), was introduced in the late 1970s and referred to as the "cognitive sciences". In parallel, institutional changes at Penn resulted in cancelation of the doctoral program in structural learning with those engaged therein turning their attention to parallel research in software engineering and the journal "Technology, Instruction, Cognition & Learning".
