Cognitive learning theories are based on how information is processed in the human mind. According to the information processing model, sensory input moves to short-term memory, and if rehearsed, transfers to long-term memory which contains three types of memories: declarative, procedural, and episodic. Concept maps allow students to organize information in a visual web that connects new concepts to prior knowledge. Summarizing and note-taking strategies support cognitive learning theories by helping students process and retain important information. Cognitive learning theories can be applied through summarizing, note-taking, and using concept maps.
2. • Cognitive learning theories are based on how people think
(Ormrod, 2008). The information processing model takes us
through steps to explain how people learn. As information is
acquired through one’s senses, it is transfered to working shortterm memory. If the information is rehearsed and practiced
through elaboration, the information then moves to long-term
memory. Once in long-term memory, There are three types of
long-term memory: declarative (facts), procedural (how to do
things), and episodic(events in your life).
3. CONCEPT MAP
• Concept maps are a type of advanced organizers that allow
students to create an outline or web of pertinent information.
Concept maps are valuable web based tools that can allow
students to synthesize their learning in a way the replicates the
network model of memory. They allow students to outline the
information in a way that is conceptually clear. They may then
connect the new concepts with prior knowledge or schema
4. STRATEGY OF COGNITIVE
LEARNING THEORIES
• Summarizing and note taking is another strategy
suggested. that supports the cognitive learning
theory (2007, 119). Summarizing is the ability to
delete, substitute and or keep information in order
to record important information. Teachers may
provide templates and ready-made notes for
students to use. Pitler et al. suggest teaching and
modeling summarizing as well as giving students
opportunities to create their own notes
6. CHARACTERISTICS COGNITIVE LEARNING THEORIES
•
•
•
•
CTL activation process of learning is the knowledge that already exists, meaning that what is learned
can not be separated from the knowledge that has been learned, as such knowledge is to be obtained
by students who have the complete knowledge relation to one another.
Contextual learning is learning in order to acquire knowledge and to add new.Knowledge was obtained
by deductive, meaning that learning begins with the study as a whole, then pay attention to the details.
Understanding of knowledge, meaning that the knowledge gained is not to memorize but to be
understood and believed, for example by asking for responses from others about knowledge and new
knowledge based on these responses was developed.
Practice the knowledge and experience about that.Knowledge and experience gained should be
applicable in the lives of students, so that students seem personal change.
7. PATTERN COGNITIVE LEARNING THEORIES
• A. Premilinary
– 1. The teacher explains the competencies to be achieved and the benefits of the learning process and the
importance of the subject matter to be studied.
– 2. The teacher expalins procedure about the Cognitive Learning Theories.
– 3. Conduct a question and answer about the task at hand students.
B. Core Activities
1. Teacher distribute information leaflets to every student.
2. Students reading information before summarizing
3. Every student have doing task for summarizing information which has been distributed teacher
4. After summarizing,student has task again for find difficult words and make synonym and antonym
of difficult word.
C. Closing Activities
1. with the help of the teacher giving his own opinion of the students who have students summarize
information
8. CONCLUSION
Cognitive Learning Theories for all levels of
education, learning is a concept that can help
teachers connect between what is taught to
students the reality of the real world, and encourage
students to make the interaction between the
knowledge possessed by its application in their lives
as members of families and communities. CTL view
that learning is not memorization, but the process
will be experienced in real life. So in the light of
psychological, CTL grounded in cognitive
psychological flow.
