why people learn
Cognitivism follows the Behaviorist Theory,
but focuses more on what is going on in the
mind.

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.
COGNITIVISM IN THE CLASSROOM
Traditional Classroom Cognitivism Classroom
Students work primarily alone.
Students work mostly in groups.
Teacher’s role is directive, rooted in
authority.
Teacher’s role is interactive, rooted in
negotiation.
Learning is based on repetition.
Learning is interactive, building on what the student
already knows.
Traditional Classroom VS. Cognitivism Classroom
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.
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.
