Learning Theories: Cognitive theory

 Learning Theories 


No student is like another, and the way each person learns is different. Our brains are unique and all of our experiences contribute to our different learning methods. Psychologists have spent countless hours running tests to better understand how students learn. Teachers need to be trained to be ready to teach students every day, and an important part of teacher training is understanding the different ways of learning. There are many strong learning theories that teachers can learn from as they prepare to help students in the classroom. Those who understand learning theories can use different techniques in their classes to address different types of learning. This can help all students learn successfully. There are five main theories of educational learning that educators can use to improve their classrooms and improve the learning environment for all students. 



Cognitive theory

Cognitive learning theory analyzes the way people think. Mental processes are an important part of understanding how we learn. Cognitive theory understands that students can be influenced by internal and external elements in how we think as humans. Many other researchers have delved into the idea of ​​our thinking and initiated further research. Jean Piaget is a very important figure in the field of cognitive psychology and his work is focused on internal environments and processes. Structures and how they influence learning. Cognitive theory has evolved over time and broken down into sub-theories that focus on unique elements of learning and understanding. At its most basic level, cognitive theory suggests that internal thoughts and external forces are an important part of the cognitive process, and when students understand how their thinking affects their learning and behavior, we can have more control over them.Cognitive learning theory affects students because their understanding of their thought process can help them learn. Teachers can give students opportunities to ask questions, fail, and think out loud. These strategies can help students understand how your thinking process works and use that knowledge to build better learning opportunities.
