Cognitivism ƪ (ººo)a

What is Cognitivism?

Cognitivism is a theory that stressed on internal or mental process (we can’t see). This theory believes that every people have belief, ideas, and principles that can be choose for him/her self.

Who are the experts and their theories?

1.  Jerome Burner, his basic theory is human is a processor, thinker, and information creator. There are three cognitive processes such as getting new information, transforming that information, examine the relevancy and the appropriate knowledge.
2.  David Ausubel, his theory stressed about knowledge that comes not because of discovery. Cognitive structure is important in build meaningful learning. The structure will become a concept and this kind of learning called memorizing.
3. Jean Piaget, his theory tells about the stages of cognitivism.

What are the impacts to our (Indonesia's) education?

Indonesia uses this theory to shape a curriculum. Burner says there are four main aspect in learning, there are lesson's structure, learning readiness, intuition (a collection of intellectual technique to know whether the condition is right or wrong), and motivation.
