Cognitive Theories that Guide Online Course Design
Abstract
Cognitivism comes from one of three schools of psychology in which theories are categorized. The other two schools are the schools of behaviorism and humanism. It is believed that one school of theory is not better than the other, and individuals are encouraged to apply the theory that is the most appropriate for the student. Theories from the school of cognitivism guide students to process information in ways that are meaningful to the student. One of the most important goals of cognitive theories is for students to become independent learners. Struggling learners are guided through the learning process with learning strategies, and the lessons are based on declarative and procedural learning tasks in authentic learning environments (Grabinger, 2004; Tomei, 2007).
