The Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment© (FIE) were created by Professor Reuven Feuerstein. These courses offer an intervention program that enhances the cognitive skills necessary for independent thinking and learning. This unique educational method combines specially designed instruments and mediation in order to identify and enhance an individual’s learning potential.
This intervention program includes a series of paper and pencil tasks that gradually increase in levels of difficulty and abstraction. Each series focuses on a different cognitive skill, creating systematic, persistent and structured conditions to engage learners in problem-solving by developing their ability to understand and elaborate information.
FIE aims to close learning gaps, helping learners to avoid mistakes by enhancing their learning skills. Students are taught new ways of thinking by completing tasks in areas such as comparison, classification, analysis and synthesis, orientation in space and time, and hypothetical reasoning. Through the use of FIE, students gain language and knowledge about their cognitive processes that help them make better decisions, in the classroom and throughout their lives.
In this course you will be introduced to Feuerstein’s cognitive intervention program which can be applied in a one-on-one setting or in the classroom. As a trained mediator, you will be equipped to lead the learner through increasingly complex cognitive pencil and paper tasks, working together to analyse and discuss ways in which the problems could be solved.
In FIE Standard I participants will receive training in the theoretical basis for Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment and in the materials and didactics of four Instruments from the IE Program: Organization of Dots, Orientation in Space I, Comparisons, and Analytical Perception.
Course Schedule: Attendance at all five sessions is mandatory.
Location: This course will be offered entirely online, through a platform called Zoom. You will need a laptop or desktop computer (PC or MAC) with camera, audio and microphone capability as well as a reliable internet connection.
Cost: Regular Rate: $1,100.00 (includes materials)
Registration Deadline: September 13, 2024
Please note: No registrations or cancellations will be accepted after the deadline.
Students with ADHD often find it challenging to process large amounts of information, which affects their ability to accurately receive and understand it.
The Power of Tactile Instrumental Enrichment (FIE Tactile): FIE Tactile is an effective educational approach that leverages touch and movement to help students systematically and comprehensively understand their environment. It fosters critical thinking and enhances overall cognitive development.
More About the Course: FIE Tactile offers a structured method to help retrain the brain to explore, organize, and process information logically through touch and movement. This technique develops the ability to create mental images and compare them with existing ones, enhancing cognitive skills such as exploration, logical reasoning, and hypothetical thinking.
The course promotes more organized and efficient learning processes. Additionally, the visualization skills developed through FIE Tactile positively impact both reading comprehension and listening comprehension.
