PLT (5622) PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING AND TEACHING
K-6
1. Knowledge
*Answer√√ -acquired information
2. Cognitive processes
*Answer√√ -acquiring new knowledge and skills and being able to apply new learning to new
situations and draw conclusions from it
3. Cognitive Process Functions
*Answer√√ -perception
-attention
-language
-memory
-thinking
,4. Transfer
*Answer√√ -to apply knowledge to make inferences about new thoughts and ideas
5. Foundational Theorists
*Answer√√ -provide the framework by which all current knowledge of cognitive processes
is based
6. Jerome Bruner
*Answer√√ -a constructivist theorist who contributed the 3 modes of representation to the field of
cognitive development
1) Enactive Stage: learning through action
2) Iconic Stage: cognition through mental images
3) Symbolic Stage: learning through language
7. Albert Bandura
,*Answer√√ -developed the social learning theory and believes learning is a combination of cognition,
behavior, and environment
8. John Dewey
*Answer√√ -viewed learning as a series of scientific inquiry and experimentation where children should
construct knowledge using hands-on and relevant learning activities
9. Jean Piaget
*Answer√√ -studied cognition in children and identified the stages of development and contributed to
schema learning
1) Sensorimotor Stage: children develop the concept of of object permanence
2) Preoperational Stage: children engage in symbolic play
3) Concrete Operational Stage: children are more capable of thinking logically
4) Formal Operational Stage: people are able to think abstractly
, 10. Lev Vygotsky
*Answer√√ -researched the social development theory with the 2 main tenets being more knowledge-able
other (MKO) and zone of proximal development (ZPD)
11. Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
*Answer√√ -is the space between what a child can do independently and the learning goal
