Cognitive Approach

Cognitive Learning Theories includes:

•Gestalt Psychology – Insight Theory•Edward Toleman – Purposive Behaviorism•Albert Bandura – Observational Learning; and•Jean Piaget – Theory of Cognitive Development

Student’s Learning Style

What is a “learning style”?

• “The way that he or she concentrates on, processes, internalizes, and remembers new and difficult information or skills”.

–Dr. Rita Dunn, St. John’s University

• “Characteristic cognitive, affective, and physiological behaviors that serve as relatively stable indicators of how learners perceive, interact with, and respond to the learning environment”.

–James W. Keefe

Student’s Learning Style

What is a “learning style”?

Student’s Learning Style

Learning Style - In Simple Terms

ConceptualUnderstanding

• Children learn through a combination of these elements: – Physiological– Cognitive– Affective

Physiological Elements

• Physiological elements are primarily biologically-based and vary depending on the learner’s reaction to the physical environment. –Environmental Elements–Emotional Elements–Sociological Elements–Physical Elements.

•Visual•Auditory•Tactile•Kinesthetic

•Field Dependence•Field Independence

Affective Elements

• Affective elements are the motivational forces within a learner typically viewed as stimulating and guiding behavior.–Conceptual Level–Psychological Types

ConceptualUnderstanding

Conceptual Level• High

–These students are more independent. They enjoy individual projects, problem solving, and a choice of assignments.

• Low–These see environment as fixed

and rigid. They are not able to look at alternative solutions to problems.

Psychological Types• Thinker

– These learners are more objective and reason logically their decisions.

• Sensor– These learners relate best to the real

world and concrete experiences.• Feeler

– These learners make decisions based more on their emotions and insight than reason.

• Intuitor– These learners relate to the world

through intuition. They are more global and more apt to dislike detailed work.

The Theory ofMultiple Intelligences

the ability to create an effective product or offer a service that is valued in a culture;

a set of skills that make it possible for a person to solve problems in life;

the potential for finding or creating solutions for problems, which involves gathering new knowledge

For Gardner, intelligence is:
