Cognitivism Activity
Today in our Learning Theories session a group of us was asked to design a poster about Cognitivism. The poster was to reflect the main elements of Cognitivism and make it eye catching.
After some discussion about tools to enable someone to understand Cognitivism, from a list of statements we were given on a sheet, we decided that a smart phone with apps for each of the elements would best catch the eye. So the iCog was born.
It was a stimulating exercise that showed that as a learning theory Cognitivism is not in isolation as we kept crossing over inadvertently to constructivism and behaviourism.
Please see image below of the poster.
