Flashcards

Cognitive Principle 1

Learners connect new information to existing knowledge. They build upon prior learning to understand new concepts.

Cognitive Principle 2

Information is remembered and used better when it is actively processed and meaningfully connected to other information.

Instructional Design

A structured approach to creating educational materials and activities that support learning.

Sequencing of Curriculum

Organizing topics and concepts in a logical order to build upon prior knowledge.

Study Notes

Science of Learning

  • Course: EDENG 101/102
  • Instructor: Lynou R. Zacal, Ph.D.

Objective

  • Students will discuss cognitive principles correctly through class recitation.

Instructional Design Framework (IDF)

  • A flexible, adaptable structure ensuring effective teaching and learning
  • Allows teachers to use creativity confidently

Four Key Instructional Principles (4Ls)

  • Inclusive
  • Ideational
  • Integrative
  • Innovative

Four Key Aspects of Instructional Design (4Cs)

  • Context
  • Connection
  • Collaboration
  • Creativity

Four Essential Facets of Learning (4Es)

  • Engage
  • Explore
  • Experience
  • Empathize

Cognitive Principle 1

  • Learners learn new ideas by referencing ideas they already know.
  • Well-sequenced curriculum ensures prior knowledge for mastering new ideas.
  • Analogies connect new ideas to existing ones, but teachers must elaborate and emphasize crucial similarities.
  • This principle highlights the integration of the Instructional Framework within the Science of Learning.

Cognitive Principle 2

  • Information is withdrawn from memory as it happened.
  • Assignments requiring explanation or material organization focus learners' attention on the meaning.
  • Stories and mnemonics help learners grasp challenging content.
  • This involves Engage and Experience aspects of the IDF.

Cognitive Principle 3

  • Each subject area has facts crucial for long-term memory, aiding problem-solving.
  • Teachers should teach different sets of facts at different ages; math facts and letter-sound pairings are prominent in early elementary grades.
  • Memory for math facts is more reliable than calculation, crucial for problem-solving.

Cognitive Principle 4

  • Knowledge/skills transfer to new problems requires understanding the problem's context and underlying structure.
  • Sufficient background knowledge is essential for students to appreciate problem context.
  • Deliberate practice builds concepts in long-term memory, serving as a reference for novel concepts.
  • Chunking aids cognitive processing; metacognition or thinking beyond thinking is essential. This applies integrative, innovative, and ideational principles of the IDF.

Cognitive Principle 5

  • Beliefs about intelligence significantly influence student behavior.
  • Motivated learners believe intelligence improves through effort.
  • Teachers should praise learner effort and strategies, not just ability.
  • Encouraging learning goals rather than performance goals fosters greater learner control.
  • Learners can learn from errors and mistakes.

Science of Learning Definition

  • Science of Learning is not an ideology, philosophy, or program of instruction
  • It summarizes existing cognitive science research on student learning.
  • Its goal is to connect research with practical teaching and learning applications.
