  3. What is Cognitivism? • A learning theory that came into use in the 1950’s. • The belief that the way people think impacts their behavior and cannot be a behavior in itself. Click the arrow to move on

  4. What is Cognitivism? • A theory that attempts to answer how and why people learn • Cognitivism follows the Behaviorist Theory, but focuses more on what is going on in the mind.

  5. Key figures Kurt Lewin Lewin developed field theory that learning is result of changes in cognitive structure, one’s sense of belonging, and gain in muscle control.

  6. Key figures Jean Piaget Piaget theorized that there are four stages of cognitive development: Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational.

  7. Key figures Benjamin Bloom Bloom identified six levels within the cognitive domain, now known as Bloom’s Taxonomy. Evaluation Synthesis Analysis Application Comprehension Knowledge

  8. Cognitivism in the classroom • Cognitivism works under the assumption that students learn best when they are engaged and involved. • This learning theory can be used effectively in the classroom when students are engaged in realistic experiences, discussing content, and experimenting.

  10. My classroom • In my future classroom, I plan to use Cognitivism in many ways. Here are a few examples: • Using graphic organizers and concept maps to incorporate pictures, text, sound bytes, and video clips. • Using Microsoft Word to work together as a class to summarize information we have just learned.

  11. My classroom • In my classroom, I will also encourage my students to learn from each other. I will strive to act as a guide in learning and work to always adapt my curriculum to my students’ needs. • I will take the time to understand each of my students, and create a setting that promotes learning.

  12. Sources Used • Wikipedia • Cognitivism and Constructivism • Picture of Kurt Lewin • Textbook: Meece, J. L., & Daniels, D. H. (2007). Child and adolescent development for educators. (3 ed.).
