Consider: • Do you mainly memorise, understand, apply or analyse? • What cognitive challenges do you experience? Focus on how you think and learn, not only your experiences. Guiding Questions: - “When I study, do I mainly memorise or do I really understand the work?” - “Can I apply what I learn to new situations?” - “Do I struggle to analyse or think critically?” - “What is difficult for me when I try to learn?” Sentence starters: - “When I study, I mostly learn by…” - “I think I operate mainly at the level of ….” - “I find it difficult to …” - “This shows that my learning is mostly …” 2.

Show how it explains YOUR learning. o How does this theory explain your learning? o Give a real example from your ODeL Experience? 3. STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE YOUR LEARNING (±1–2 MINUTES) Using Learning principles (Learning Unit 1) and your chosen theory (Learning Unit 3), propose 2–3 strategies to improve your learning.

PED3701
ASSIGNMENT 3 2026

UNIQUE NO.
DUE DATE: 24 JUNE 2026

, PED3701 Assignment 3 Video Script (2026)

Good day lecturer.

My name is ____________, and in this presentation I will analyse how I think and learn
as an Open Distance e-Learning student. I will discuss my learning and thinking
processes, apply a cognitive development theory to my learning, propose strategies to
improve my learning, and reflect on factors that influence my learning.

1. ANALYSIS OF MY LEARNING AND THINKING

As an ODeL student, I have realised that my learning process involves more than
simply memorising information. When I study, I usually begin by reading the learning
material and identifying the main concepts. I then try to understand the meaning of the
content before making notes in my own words.

According to Bloom's Taxonomy, I think I operate mainly at the understanding and
application levels of learning. I do not only try to remember information, but I also try to
explain concepts and apply them to practical situations. For example, when studying
educational theories, I try to relate them to my own experiences as a student.

However, I sometimes struggle with higher-order thinking skills such as analysis and
evaluation. When faced with complex questions that require critical thinking, I find it
challenging to compare different theories and justify my opinions. I also experience
difficulties when there is a large amount of information to process within a limited time.

This shows that my learning is mostly based on understanding and application, but I still
need to improve my analytical and critical-thinking skills.

2. APPLICATION OF ONE COGNITIVE THEORY

The theory I have chosen is Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory.
