Objectives • Define What is a cognitivism? • Recall 3 major theories in cognitivism • Recall the 9 internal learning process involved in Instructional Design • Review 8 Cognitive Instructional principles in training design • Name 4 cognitivism principles in online learning
What is cognitivism? • Answers how learning takes place inside the brain • Explains the Information processing approach
Piaget's Cognitive Development • Learning process is iterative • 3 cognitive process
John Anderson's ACT-R theory Adaptive Control of Thought—Rational theory
John Anderson's ACT-R theory (contd) Three stages of transformation
Schema theory • provides an account to the knowledge abstract structures . • emphasizes the fact that information retained in memory is influenced by previous knowledge. • facilitate both encoding and retrieval • Three processes of schema acquisition and modification • Accretion - information is retained in a schema • Tuning - existing schema become consistent with experience • Reconstructing - replace schema to replace or incorporate old schema
Instructional Design and Cognitivism • Instruction consists of a set of events external to the learner designed to support the internal processes of learning. (Gagne, Briggs, & Wager, 1988) Events • Nine events of instruction - Robert Gagné
Cognitive Instructional Principles • Content • Use different types of contents • Picture, charts , video, text, graphics, color, sound and animation • Break contents into chunks
Cognitive Instructional Principles in Training Design • Situated learning • Teach knowledge and skills in context • Show the use of knowledge and skill in real life situation
Cognitive Instructional Principles in Training Design • Modeling and explaining • Explain related process through models and key principles
Cognitive Instructional Principles in Training Design • Coaching and Feedbacks • Provide feedback on performance, hints • Personalised attention Hints
Cognitive Instructional Principles in Training Design • Scaffolding and fading • Help the learner when needed • Move towards learner autonomy
Cognitive Instructional Principles in Training Design • Articulation and Reflection • Learner’s reasoning, problem solving • Analyze own performance
Cognitive Instructional Principles in Training Design • Exploration • try different strategies to solve problem • observe the effect of strategies • Eliminate misconception Which strategy do I use now??
Cognitive Instructional Principles in Training Design • Sequence • proceed from simple to complex • Teach the underlying principle first, then fine-tune the application of that principle to specific performance contexts Simple Complex
Cognitive Principles in online learning • Content • Important Information should be place • in centre of screen • read from left to right • Highlight to focus learner’s Attention • Must match cognitive level of learner • Learner must be provided with the relevance of lesson Wow! This is useful to me and I can understand it
Cognitive Principles in online learning • Retrieval of existing information • Use of advance organizer • Provide conceptual models • Use pre instructional questions or prerequisite test In the previous lesson , we learnt ... ??
Cognitive Principles in online learning • Chunk information • to prevent overload in working memory • Five to nine items on screen
Cognitive Principles in online learning • Motivation • Can I do this task? • Why I am doing this task? • How can I do this task ?
Cognitive Principles in online learning • Can I do the task? • Self efficacy
Cognitive Principles in online learning • Can I do the task? • Locus of control
Cognitive Principles in online learning • Can I do the task? • Attributions
Cognitive Principles in online learning • Why I am doing this task? • Goal orientation • Intrinsic and extrinsic motivation
Cognitive Principles in online learning • How can I do this task? • Self Regulation • Plan, organise, self –instruct, self evaluate • Time management • Learn and Seek help from Peers and instructors
