About Us
The Mediated Learning Laboratory (MLL) in NIE is set up to propel the use and application of Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) and Dynamic Assessment (DA) for research in educational settings and translate research findings into practical guides for teachers and practitioners both locally and globally. In addition, it aims to connect with researchers to lead research and push the knowledge frontier for Feuerstein’s theories of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM), Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) and Dynamic Assessment (DA).
The MLL is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art recording system, and a floor to ceiling one-way mirror adjacent to an observation room. The MLL is cozily furnished and well-appointed for learning intervention, observation and research activities.

Mediated Learning Experience
The modifiability of cognition and emotional elements are the cornerstone of Feuerstein’s theory of structural cognitive modifiability (SCM), which states that “all human characteristics, including personality, cognition and behavior are modifiable states, regardless of etiology, age, or severity of the condition” (Feuerstein, Klein & Tennenbaum, 1999, p. 13). In this theory, Feuerstein’s proposition is argued on the basis that a person’s capacity to learn is not solely determined by his or her genetic endowment and further suggested that modifiability is possible irrespective of a person’s age and stage of development (Feuerstein, 1990).
