Cognitive Psychology

Information Processing

Atkinson and Shiffrin (1968)

Teach them Memory strategies

Teach them Cognitive strategies

Cognitivism or Cognitive Constructivism

Jerome Bruner

George Kelly

Piaget

Further School of Thought in Psychology:

HIS MAIN IDEAS :
Learning occurs through social interactions within a social environment

Mediation
Helping learners to move into and through the next layer of knowledge and understanding.
Who ? – mediator ? a parent, a teacher, a peer.
Where? – to the zone of proximate development (layer of skill or knowledge which is just beyond that with which the learner is currently capable of coping)
How? – working together with mediator (social interaction)
The role of mediator is a key factor in effective learning and transmitting culture (teacher selects and shapes learning experiences and children’s responses to them)

Vygotzky’s Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)

The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).
is Vygotsky’s term for the range of tasks that a child can complete independently and those completed with the guidance .
The lower limit of ZPD is the level of skill reached by the child working independently.
The upper limit is the level of additional responsibility the child can accept with the assistance of an able instructor.
The ZPD captures the child’s cognitive skills that are in the process of maturing and can be accomplished only with the assistance of a more-skilled person.

Social Constructivist Model
Learning process is influenced by teachers, learners, tasks , context.
None of them exists in isolation.
It is dynamic, ongoing process.
Context (S)
Teacher learner
task

Interpretation:
Teachers select tasks which reflect their beliefs about teaching and learning.
Learners interpret tasks in ways that are meaningful and personal to them as individuals.
The task is interface between a teacher and learners.
A change in any part of the model will influence other parts.
