¶ … Cognitive Approach to Teaching with Technology
Throughout the history of the study of education and educational philosophies, many different approaches have been employed. The educational theories developed by John Dewy, Lev Vygotsky, Jerome Bruner, and Jean Piaget have culminated to create an approach that is known today as the Cognitive Approach to learning. This particular approach proposes that learning takes place in what is referred to as "the zone of proximal development." It is within this zone that a teacher explores what the child needs assistance with and what he does not. Ideally, the teacher provides a challenge which is slightly harder than the preceding challenge, thus creating a "intellectual scaffolding" which the student will use to climb through their developmental phases.
Generally this approach employs real life problem solving, cooperative groups, and projects which require solutions instead of those which focus on instructional sequences. The cognitive approach feels as if it matters to students that might be apathetic to other forms of teaching. It is because of this that instructional technology...
Certainly these are still an element of instructional technology, but the best educational technology is still relatively new. Computers, CDs, the internet, email, and other interactive technologies have revolutionized what was once thought of as educational technology over the last ten years.
One relatively new theory in the cognitive approach studies is the idea of the cognitive apprenticeship. The theory behind this is that students will learn better from "learning-through-guided-experience." Apprenticeship methodology is applied to cognitive skills. In other words students learn from the modeling of an expert at work, they are coached in their own work, they must articulate their problem solving, they must reflect on their work, and lastly they must explore problem solving on their own.
Technology is an excellent tool in this type of teaching. Imagine a student studying political science that may be able to talk to a senator or congressmen via email on a regular basis. This type…

This then helps the teacher to appropriately adjust their approach and teaching skills to address the particular weak points that the students or particular student might have. There is need to incorporate computers in class as well particularly in some particular topics in teaching second language. This applies especially when it comes to the use of language in creating formal documents or such like formal types of writing which can
In order to get the valid and complete feedback, the writer should have included both the experienced as well as novice students in this study. The reason is that experienced students may not be able to point out the real problems as compared to novice students, who are much more aware of their surrounding and notice things more. The correct approach would have been to take feedback from both
Elementary Special Education Teachers Place Value in the use of Technology Resources for Students? Alix Desulme Technology is an integral part of society. Students learn through use of technology like personal computers, tablets, and e-books (Garland & Tadeja, 2013). Computers can provide access to videos, documents, and other forms of data that students have the choice of absorbing via visual or auditory methods. Tablets provide the same access but with a
Technology in Education For purposes of completing this study of the use of technology in higher education, a local high school was visited, where the technology coordinator provided a demonstration of the learning systems used there. In addition, one senior-level course in Physics was attended where the advance imaging and learning technologies where shown. What was unique about this visit was how easily these technologies can be made to align with
These benefits arise because of implementing both assistive technologies and Information Communication technology (ICT). The implementation of technology in classrooms usually has benefits to both the disabled students as well as the teachers (Kirk, Gallagher, Coleman, & Anastasiow, 2012, p.240). The general benefits of use of assistive technologies and ICT in teaching students with learning disabilities include greater learner autonomy and unlocking hidden potential with those with communication difficulties.
