Cognitivism theory examines how people think and gain knowledge through learning, memory, problem solving, and intelligence. It views the mind as a "black box" where learning occurs through recalling and making sense of stored information. Key factors that influence learning according to cognitivism include a person's existing schemas and previous experiences. Memory plays an important role through encoding, storing, and retrieving information. Learning theories best explained by cognitivism include reasoning, problem solving, and learning with clear objectives. Major theorists in cognitivism include Piaget with his cognitive development theory and Ausubel with his meaningful learning theory.

- 2. COGNITIVISM THEORY • involve how we think and gain knowledge. • involves examining learning, memory, problem solving skills, and intelligence.
- 3. Key Concepts: • Mind as a "Black Box“ • Learning is explained as a "recall" of stored information • Instruction usually grabs the attention of learners and helps make sense of the information so it can be readily stored (learned) later for recall.
- 4. • How does learning occur? Answer: structured, computational • What factors influence learning? Answer: existing schema, previous experiences • What is the role of memory? Answer: encoding, storage, retrieval
- 5. • How does transfer occur? Answer: duplicating knowledge constructs of "knower“ • What types of learning are best explained by this theory? Answer: reasoning, clear objectives, problem solving
- 6. THEORISTS IN COGNITIVISM JOHN PIAGET Cognitive Development Theory a comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. DAVID AUSUBEL Meaningful Learning Theory refers to the concept that the learned knowledge is fully understood by the individual and that the individual knows how that specific fact relates to other stored facts.
- 7. Classroom Practices • Use of Microsoft word to type text in summarizing and note taking
- 8. • online games and reinforcement activities, such as sorting games, puzzles, and flashcards.
- 9. • Use of graphic organizers and concept maps offer the students the concrete experience needed for cognitive learning to take place.
