    Pedagogical Approaches

    Different philosophical approaches to education and learning that influence how teachers teach, interact with students, and assess their progress.

    Cognitivism

    Focuses on understanding how individuals learn and process information, emphasizing memory, problem-solving, and thinking.

    Study Notes

    Corrientes Pedagógicas

    • Corrientes pedagógicas are different philosophical approaches to education and learning.
    • These approaches influence how teachers design lessons, interact with students, and assess progress.

    Cognitivismo

    • Cognitivism focuses on mental learning processes like memory, problem-solving, and information processing.
    • Key concepts include schema, assimilation, accommodation, and information processing.
    • It emphasizes how learners organize and interpret information.
    • Teachers using a cognitivist approach might:
      • Provide opportunities for active information processing.
      • Use varied methods to connect new and existing knowledge.
      • Design activities for reflection and critical thinking.

    Conectivismo

    • Connectivism emphasizes network's role in learning.
    • It highlights learning through connections with others and resources in a digital world.
    • Key elements include:
      • Learning as connecting nodes/information pieces.
      • Knowledge is distributed across networks and individuals.
      • Continuous engagement with information is crucial.
      • Adaptability and lifelong learning are essential.
    • Teachers might use:
      • Online learning platforms (e.g., Moodle, Blackboard).

      • Collaborative projects with peers or experts.

    Inteligencias Múltiples

    • Multiple Intelligences, by Howard Gardner, proposes diverse human intelligences beyond a single type.
    • These include: linguistic, logical-mathematical, spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic.
    • This theory suggests tailored instruction based on individual strengths enhances learning.
    • Educators using this approach design activities catering to different learning styles and intelligences.

    Cognocitivista

    • Cognocitivista is often used synonymously with "cognitivism".
    • It emphasizes mental processes in knowledge acquisition, storage, and organization, highlighting mental constructs in learning.
    • Teachers employing a "cognocictivista" approach focus on how learners process information, using methods like concept mapping, reflective journals.
    • Problem-solving activities are also part of this approach.
