    Cognitive Learning Theory

    Uploaded by

    Ahmad Hakim
    Cognitive Learning Theory focuses on how knowledge is acquired, processed, stored, retrieved, and used. It views learning as an active process where learners code and structure information based on their prior knowledge and experiences. Instruction should help learners organize new concepts by relating them to existing mental frameworks. Learning happens best when aligned with human cognitive architecture by making knowledge meaningful. The environment both inside and outside the classroom also influences how students learn.

    Cognitive Learning Theory

    Learning is not just a sit down and listen pathway. It is a process of thinking that influenced by past and present surroundings and experiences. As educators, we must look at the learned behaviors of our students, the learning environment we are providing, the environment they are accustomed to outside of our classroom, and their personal needs and ideals.
