basics Cognitive Learning Theory
  • Cognitive learning theories focus primarily on
    how knowledge is
  • acquired, processed, stored, retrieved, and
    activated
  • by the learner during the different phases of the
    learning process.
  • - learning as an active process involving the
    acquisition or reorganization of the cognitive
    structures through which humans process and store
    information and
  • - the learner as an active participant in the
    process of knowledge acquisition and integration.

basics Cognitive Learning Theory
  • Knowledge acquisition is a mental activity
    involving internal coding and structuring by the
    learner where learning happens best under
    conditions that are aligned with human cognitive
    architecture.
  • Main focus of cognitive teaching/learning
    approach is on making knowledge meaningful and
    helping learners organize and relate new
    information to prior knowledge in memory.
    Instruction should be based on a students
    existing mental structures or schema for learning
    to be effective.

basics Cognitive Learning Theory
  • Learning is not just a sit down and listen
    pathway. It is a process of thinking that
    influenced by past and present surroundings and
    experiences. As educators, we must look at the
    learned behaviors of our students, the learning
    environment we are providing, the environment
    they are accustomed to outside of our classroom,
    and their personal needs and ideals.
