Cognitive Learning

The cognitive learning theory states in part that we learn based off of implementing knowledge we have learned in the past. I hope that my students will have the skills necessary to think critically and explore complex ideas.I want my students to be able to formulate and ask good questions: questions, the answers to which are not just a Google search away. I want them to be able to assimilate their knowledge to solve problems and tackle big issues. I want them to be able to organize any new information or understaindings in a way that it can be easily retrieved. Importantly, I want them to be able to understand which style of learning works best for them so they can get the best out of their education. Collaboration: I want students to be able to work together to solve problems. Part of cognitive learning is about taking old information and using it to help you understand new information. Another part of it though is welcoming outside understanding to aid you in this. Collaboration is central to this kind of learning.
