Cognitivism Activity

Today in our Learning Theories session a group of us was asked to design a poster about Cognitivism. The poster was to reflect the main elements of Cognitivism and make it eye catching.

After some discussion about tools to enable someone to understand Cognitivism, from a list of statements we were given on a sheet, we decided that a smart phone with apps for each of the elements would best catch the eye. So the iCog was born.

It was a stimulating exercise that showed that as a learning theory Cognitivism is not in isolation as we kept crossing over inadvertently to constructivism and behaviourism.

Please see image below of the poster.
