Cognitive Theory

This paper presents a summary of several cognitive theories of learning. He explains that cognitive theory is based on the fact that human beings organize and filter the information they receive and that their mental schemas determine their way of life. It then briefly describes the theories of Piaget on cognitive development, Bruner on discovery learning, and Bandura on social learning.

fundamentals
Cognitive Theory is based on the following
epistemological foundations:

□ When human beings carry out activities, they rely mainly on


the information they have.

□ The representations and schemes


that each person creates determine
their way of life.

□ Humans organize and filter their


information.

The principles of E. Mayer

Richard E. Mayer
Richard E. Mayer is a professor of psychology at the University of
California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) where he has served since
1975.

He received his doctorate in psychology from the University of


Mi chigan in 1973 and worked as a visiting assistant professor at
Indiana University from 1973 to 1975.

His research interests focus on education and cognitive


psychology. His most current research involves the intersection
of cognition, instruction, and technology with a special focus on
multimedia , computer-assisted learning.
The Theory of Cognitive

} Stage of formal operations (12 years-Adulthood)

It involves an increase in logic, the ability to use the


deductive reasoning and an understanding of ideas
abstract. People are able to distinguish
multiple solutions to problems and think more
scientifically about the world around them.
The teacher according to Piaget
■ Focus on the learning process, rather than its final product.
■ Employ active methods.
■ Manage collaborative activities, as well as individual activities (so
that children can learn from each other).

■ Design situations that present useful problems and create


“imbalance” in the child.

■ Assess the child's level of development, from which appropriate


tasks can be established.
Discovery learning theory
Developed by psychologist and pedagogue
American Jerome Bruner in the decade
of the 60s.

Bruner believes that students

Stages or models of Learning
P Enactive

You learn by acting, manipulating


objects, observing the performance of
others. Knowledge is obtained
through action and
handling.

"Learning by doing".
} Iconic

It consists of representing things


through an image or spatial scheme
independent of the action.

You can even imagine


situations, objects or
events in his absence,
imagine events from the past or
future.
> Symbolic

Represent the world through


symbols.

It involves the use of language,


necessary for the formation of
concepts.

Able to express their experiences


in linguistic terms.

Use linguistic representation

and more abstract thinking and
