Aspects of Cognitive Theory
|
This is very selective!
-
Constructivism
emphasizes
not merely how individuals receive material to be learned
and “construct” it inside their heads,
but how they and their teachers construct it between them
through their dialogue. Leading on from this,
in a sense —
- Kelly's Personal Construct theory
eschews the use of the term "learning" altogether,
but provides a model of how individuals make sense of the
world and how this changes.
- Kolb's work on the
Cycle of Adult
Learning (building on the work of Kurt
Lewin)
provides a useful model, which develops into a theory of
learning styles.
- Pask distinguishes between
holist
and serialist learning strategies, which can relate
issues of subject discipline, teacher and student preferences
to account for differences in learning/teaching effectiveness.
- Similarly, Hudson distinguishes between
convergent
and divergent cognitive styles, characteristic of students
with different interests and academic careers.
- Bateson disentangles various
levels of learning, in which each lower level is contextualised
by the one above.
- Festinger's theory of
cognitive
dissonance tries to account both for some perverse aspects
of learning and failure to learn, but also for readiness
to learn.
