EDN:204– Learning Process
30th August, 2010B.Ed II(S) Sci
-------------------------------------------------------------Topics: Cognitive views of Learning
1. Cognitive developmental theories
• developmentally appropriate learning experiences
• cognitive apprenticeship • Zone of proximal development • scaffolding
![Page 2: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Developmentally appropriate learning experiences
•Cognitive developmental theories of learning
strongly support the belief that any learning
experiences should be appropriately designed and
organized to ensure that children experience
meaningful and joyful experiences.
• Developmentally appropriate teaching ensures
success in the early grade.
![Page 3: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Four major areas for developmentally appropriate learning experiences:
1. Environment (Classroom)
Contains areas in which children can select and plan their activities
Have areas for quiet and active social interactions.
Contains clearly labeled areas with words and pictures to encourage independence.
![Page 4: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Has a variety of materials to encourage meaningful experiences
• Setting is not over-stimulating.
2. Curriculum
Curriculum planning and design should be based on what is known about how young children develop and learn
![Page 5: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Constructing developmentally appropriate curriculum
Integrated across all domains of child development
(physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and cognitive)
Relevant, meaningful, and based on prior experiences allowing children to make connections.
Is challenging yet achievable with sufficient adult
support.
![Page 6: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Designed to allow children to be active learners
Integrated across content areas.
3. Instructional Strategies Include a balance of active and
passive activities
Offer variety of novel experiences, stimulating
ideas, and opportunities for problem solving.
![Page 7: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Encourage children to choose and plan their own
learning activities.
Model and demonstrate specific skills.
Provide a balance between self-initiated and
teacher directed learning.
Encourage children to revisit and reflect on their
learning experiences.
![Page 8: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
4. Assessment Helps to show progress and growth over
time.
Observation and evaluation of each student’s
learning styles are keys to assessing learning
growth.
Is standard based and authentic.
Teachers and parents share useful information
about children’s learning strengths and needs.
Is ongoing with many opportunities for the
teachers to observe and reflect on students’ accomplishments.
![Page 9: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
COGNITIVE APPRENTICESHIPIs a method of teaching aimed primarily at teaching the processes that expert use to handle complex task.
Methodsi. Modeling: Involves an expert’s carrying out a task.
ii. Coaching: Observing students while they carry out a task.
iii. Articulation: Getting students to articulate their knowledge, reasoning, or problem-solving processes.
![Page 10: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
iv. Reflection: Enables students to compare their own problem-solving processes with others.
v. Exploration: Involves pushing students into a mode of problem solving on their own.
![Page 11: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
“ Is the distance between what children can do by themselves and the next learning that they can be helped to achieve with competent assistance” (Raymond, 2000., p.176)
SCAFFOLDING
“It is the role of teachers and others in supporting the learner’s development and providing support structures to get to that next stage or level”It facilitates a student’s ability to build on prior knowledge and internalize new information.

Cognitive Views of Learning Cont.
•Discovery learning
•Guided discovery learning
•Gestalt views of learning
•Experiential learning
![Page 13: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Gestalt Theory
Origin: The work of Max Wertheimer and his students Kohler & Koffka.
Gestalt is a German word for “pattern”, “figure”, “shape”, or “form”, which refers to wholes, systems and complete structures rather than seeking ever smaller components of a phenomenon.
![Page 14: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
In learning, it concentrates on the way in which the mind insists on finding patterns in things, and how this contributes to learning, especially the development of “insight”.
Learning is seen as the understanding of a total, meaningful relationship in a given situation.
What do you see in these figure?

SEAL OR HORSE?
![Page 19: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
![Page 20: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
We perceive objects as well-organized patterns rather than separate components.
“The whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts.”
![Page 21: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How we recognize patterns and give meaning to sensory events are being explained by the terms – Bottom-up and Top-down processing.
Bottom-up Processing (figure analysis). This explanation suggests that we search a new stimulus for defining elements or features.
Top-down Processing: We do not need to analyze every feature in a particular stimulus to make sense of it.

Essentials of a Gestalt approach for education:
For teachers:•Provide for insightful learning, which
is the key to effective meaningful learning.
•Structure the learning environment with
materials necessary for satisfactory discoveries to be made, such as in
learning centers.
•Motivate learners through their intrinsic
interest in solving problems.
![Page 26: EDN:204– Learning Process 30th August, 2010 B.Ed II(S) Sci](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062521/5681668d550346895dda5c8c/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
•Deal with principles rather than specifics.
•Demonstrate how abstract principles can be
drawn from specific concrete examples.
For learners:• Actively search for pattern in
apparently unconnected materials. •Brainstorm the draw together ideas
into similar or dissimilar concepts. •Create puzzles for others to solve.
