Cognitive Learning

When teachers implement certain strategies such as using cues, questioning and utilizing advance organizers with the help of technology in the classroom for learning, students will be engaged in lessons that are exciting and interesting. Additionally, they will not only be able to learn new concepts from hearing and seeing them but also from the interaction that these types of learning strategies will involve.

The implementing of strategies such as cues, questioning and advance organizers are used in the classroom with the help of technology, these strategies become great examples of cognitive learning theories in practice. Dr. Orey stated that Cognitive Learning Theories “revolve around information processing” (Laureate, 2009) so, when students use the strategies above, they are engage in lessons that will allow them to make strong connections which will later cause the information learned to stay with them. These students are also engage in the lessons because of the images that are being created through the lessons.
