Week No. 7: Cognitive Learning

#July 23, 25, 27:

                   Cognitive learning is defined in the field of psychology as being aware of current intellectuality such as knowing and thinking. Cognitive learning is more on mental learning or self-education. But, as teacher, they are to guide the student in this cognitive learning. We are learning through our experiences in life. You can’t say it hurts unless you feel it. We can’t share something, especially information, if we don’t possess any of them.


                Reading is part or one way of learning. In reading we have to comprehend for us to say that we understand the figures and symbols that we see. The reporter presented some skill that learners can develop. These are, analysis, focusing or scanning, comparative analysis, narrowing, complex cognitive, sharpening, and tolerance. He also discussed the seven (7) thinking strategies. These are basic rehearsal, complex rehearsal, basic elaboration, complex elaboration, complex organizational, complex monitoring and being affective. These strategies can help us improve our thinking for a better learning process. We can acquire and learn those skills and strategies if we have the interest to do so. Meaning, our learning depends on our interest to learn.
