Objectives
 The student should be able to;
 Identify what is cognitive processes and its stages.
 Impact of motivation in learning;
 And understand the relationship between cognitive
processes and motivation
What is cognitive processes
 The cognitive learning definition refers to the
mental pathways used to comprehend, learn,
and communicate.
 Cognition involves the processes used to think,
remember, solve problems, speak, imagine, and
think.
Stages of cognitive processes
 Sensation – it refers to our awareness about
various stimuli which we encounter in different
modalities such as vision, touch, smell , and
taste.
 Various physical energies in the environment act
on the sense organs.
Attention
 Many competing stimuli, but only limited
capacity.
Therefore, need to focus and select.
Visual attention
 Based on location and color
Auditory attention
 Based on color, timbre , and intensity.
Focused attention
 factors affecting the attentional focus
• Meaningfulness
• Structure of display
• Use of color, intensity,
• Use of modalities
Perceptions
 In the case of perception we process the
information and make out the meaning of the
stimuli available to us.
Factors influences perceptions
1. Functioning of sense organs
2. Functioning of brain
3. Previous experiences
4. Psychological state
5. Interest
6. Motivation
7. Behavior of organisms
Differences between sensation and
perception
 Sensation can be defined as passive process of
bringing information to the outside world into the
body and to the brain
 Perception can be defined as the active process
of selecting, organizing, and interpreting the
information brought to the brain by the senses.
How do they work together?
Sensation occurs;
a. Sensory organs absorb energy from physical
stimulus in the environment
b. Sensory receptors convert this energy into
neural impulses and send them to the brain.
Perception follow;
a. The brain recognizes the information and
translate it into something meaningful.
Learning
 It helps us acquiring new knowledge through
experience and practices.
 The acquired knowledge and skills further bring
a relative change in our behavior and facilitate
our adjustment in varied settings.
Memory
 The information we processed and learn is
registered and stored in the memory system.
 Memory also helps us to easily retrieve the
stored information when it is required for use.
Memory has three components
 Sensory memory
 Long – term memory
 Short – term memory
Sensory memory
 After the information reaches the senses it is
briefly registered in the sensory store.
 Some of this information is successfully passed to
the short – term memory store.
Short – term memory
 Hold information longer than sensory memory
and has limited capacity.
 It has been suggested that approximately seven
items can be held in short term memory. (Miller
1965)
Long – term memory
 It has been suggested has virtually unlimited
capacity. However, the process of remembering
or the bringing back into consciousness relevant
items of information accurately and speedily, is
rarely achieved with perfection.
 Information about meanings, concepts,
properties, and events are stored over a long
time. This stored knowledge is organized into
what are referred to as schemata.
Thinking
 In the case of thinking we use our stored
knowledge to solve various task.
 We logically establish the relationship among
various objects in our mind and take rational
decision to a given problem.
Decision Making
 The process of selecting a logical choice from
the available options. When trying to make a
good decision, a person must weight the
positives and negatives of every options, and
consider all the alternatives.
Problem – Solving
 Is a mental process that involves discovering,
analyzing, and solving problems.
The steps in problem solving
I. Identifying the problem
II. Defining the problem
III. Forming a strategy
IV. Organizing information
V. Allocating resources
VI. Monitoring progress and;
VII. Evaluating the result
Application of cognitive processes
 We will look on how cognitive processes applied
to our daily life, we can try to make
generalization and consider their application for
educational.
 People control their own learning B.F Skinner
(1954, 1968) argued that student must make
active responses in the classroom if they are to
learn anything.
What is motivation?
 Motivation, as the name suggests, is what
‘moves’ us. It is the reason we do anything at all.
For teachers, a lack of motivation has long been
one of the most frustrating obstacles to student
learning.
Extrinsic vs Intrinsic motivation
Extrinsic motivation
 The use of external rewards or punishments to
encourage student work completion, is
generally painted in education as the enemy of
good instruction.
Intrinsic motivation
 Is the act of doing an activity purely for the joy of
doing it, and it is frankly very rare in school and
work contexts.
Achievement Goal Theory
 Achievement Goal Theory argues that all motivation can
be linked to one’s orientation towards a goal. According
to this theory, there are two forms of goal: performance
goals and mastery goals.
 Performance goals are based on satisfying one’s ego
by appearing smart in front of one’s peers or on
achieving a sense of superiority.
 Mastery goals are, as they sound, motivated by a desire
to fully master a skill or concept.
Expectancy Value Theory
 Goal orientation has a strong impact on
persistence through a rigorous task, as
described in Expectancy Value Theory.
According to this model, expectations and
values influence performance and task choice
directly.
Nature versus nurture
 Each of these theories points to the malleability
of motivation. While natural genetic variability
will lead to differences in a student’s innate
drive, every student has the desire to reach their
goals. Our task as teachers, then, is to apply
what we know from social science research to
create environments, instruction, and activities
to cultivate student motivation.
Why is motivation important?
 Motivation is an orientation towards learning.
Therefore, it impacts how likely a student is either
to give up or push forward, and how thoughtful
their reflection on their learning will be.
Motivation fosters creativity and critical
thinking
 Motivated students are not more intelligent than
unmotivated students, but their need to find out
the answer to a question or to master a concept
pushes their thinking.
 Motivated students, by virtue of thinking longer
and harder and enjoying the challenge of being
confused, will ask deeper.
Motivation cultivates resilience and self-
assurance
 When a student is truly engrossed in a task, they
have less cognitive and emotional energy to
focus on social image.
 Intrinsically motivated students are not driven by
fear of failure or criticism, they are less likely to
disengage in such circumstances.
Motivation and agency
 Agency and motivation are inextricably linked
concepts because, as a student becomes more
driven to reach a goal, they consequently
develop a stronger sense of purpose in directing
their energy towards that goal.
The relationship between cognitive
processes and motivation
 Cognitive processes is the mental state, it
involves thinking, perception, senses, memory,
decision making, and problem – solving.
 Motivation play a significant role in determining
the action of achieving goals and objectives.
 Cognitive processes influence motivation by
shaping how individuals perceive and evaluate
goals, their self belief, and their assessment of
potential outcomes.
