Question

Explain how cognitivism is theory aligs with your view of teaching science

Answer 1

Cognitivism is a learning theory that focusses on how information is received, organized, stored and retrieved by the mind. ... In this view, learners are actively involved in the way they process information. Knowledge, memory, thinking, and problem solving are areas for development.

The best way for a teacher to approach using cognitivism in the classroom is to ask questions to help students refine their thinking and recognize where they may be wrong. You want to approach topics that they may think they already know and introduce some new aspect to make them redefine something.
