    Study Notes

    Cognitive Architecture

    • Cognitive architectures are executable software programs designed to model human behavior.
    • They are usually not sufficient on their own to describe performance on specific tasks and require additional task-specific information.
    • This information is typically obtained through detailed task analysis of the target activity.
    • Cognitive architectures differ from most cognitive psychology theories because they are coded by programmers.

    Bloom's Taxonomy

    • It's a hierarchical system for categorizing learning objectives according to their complexity.
    • It encompasses three domains: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor.
    • The original cognitive model was revised in 2001, emphasizing a more dynamic approach, utilizing verbs for the active learning process.

    Affective Domain

    • It deals with feelings and emotions.
    • It was a second handbook, extending Bloom's original work.

    Meta-cognition

    • Cognitive strategy: The knowledge of how to achieve a goal.
    • Meta-cognitive strategy: Checking to ensure successful goal achievement.
    • Cognitive strategy instruction can improve meta-cognition.

    Critical Thinking

    • Involves collecting and analyzing information to reach a conclusion.
    • It improves problem-solving, decision-making, and tackling complex problems.
    • Key skills include: analytical thinking, creativity, and open-mindedness.
    • Creative thinking steps:
      • Gather existing information.
      • Consider obvious solutions.
      • Brainstorm additional solutions.
      • Analyze connections between topics.
      • Apply solutions.

    Benefits of Creative Thinking

    • Adds value to personal and others' lives.
    • Fosters self-reliance and confidence.
    • Encourages exploration of new ideas.
    • Reveals hidden talents.

    Applying Creative Thinking to Learning

    • Encourage risk-taking.
    • Use mental games and puzzles.
    • Ask "why" and "how" questions.
    • Generate multiple solutions by divergent thinking.
    • Daydream and use imagination.
    • Read widely and experience new places.
    • Embrace lateral thinking: expanding thinking limits, exploring new options, seeking unconventional strategies.

    Stages of Creative Thinking

    • Preparation: The inspiration phase.
    • Incubation: Absorbing and processing information.
    • Insight: The "Eureka" moment.
    • Evaluation: Testing the idea.

    Concept Mapping

    • A node-link diagram showcasing semantic relationships between concepts.
    • It's a tool for organizing and representing knowledge.
    • Provides a framework for reaching high levels of cognitive performance.
    • Useful for both learning and evaluation.

    Benefits of Concept Mapping

    • Facilitates brainstorming and generating new ideas.
    • Encourages discovery of new concepts and their connections.
    • Enhances communication of ideas.
    • Integrates new concepts with existing knowledge.
    • Improves knowledge acquisition and evaluation.

    Building a Concept Map

    • Start with a main idea, topic, or focus question.
    • Identify the key concepts.
    • Organize concepts hierarchically, from most general to specific.
    • Link concepts using labelled arrows (propositions)
