Cognitivism

 Is a psychological and educational theory that focuses on understanding how people


think, learn, and process information? It emphasizes internal mental processes, such as
perception, memory, problem-solving, and reasoning, rather than just observable
behaviors (as in behaviorism). Cognitivist views the mind as an active processor of
information, often likened to a computer.

Key Principles of Cognitivism

1. Learning as an Internal Process:

 Learning involves acquiring, organizing, and storing knowledge in the brain.


It is not just a response to external stimuli but involves understanding and
interpreting information.

2. Mental Structures:

 Concepts like schemas (mental frameworks) help people organize and


interpret information. Learning often involves modifying or building new
schemas.

3. Focus on Problem-Solving:

 Cognitivism emphasizes how individuals analyze, evaluate, and solve


problems using mental strategies.

4. Importance of Memory:

 Memory plays a critical role in learning, with distinctions between short-term


memory, long-term memory, and working memory.

5. Active Learners:

 People are seen as active participants in their learning process, not passive
recipients.

Examples in Education:

1. Using mnemonic devices to enhance memory. Breaking information into chunks


(chunking) to reduce cognitive load.
2. Encouraging metacognition (thinking about one's own thinking) to improve problem-
solving.
Notable Theorists:

A. Jean Piaget:

 Known for his theory of cognitive development, which explains how thinking evolves
across different stages of childhood.

B. Lev Vygotsky:

 Emphasized the social context of learning and introduced the concept of the Zone of
Proximal Development (ZPD).

C. Jerome Bruner:

 Advocated for discovery learning and scaffolding to support understanding.

Cognitivism has applications in education, artificial intelligence, therapy, and other fields where
understanding human thought processes is essential.
