Cognitive and Learning
There are various ways of learning and teaching. Methods of acquiring information and skills and teaching learners vary depending on the type of students being taught, their age, their cultural backgrounds and the mode of teaching that the teacher chooses to adhere to. Many analysts from all over the world have claimed, emphasized and concluded that the best way to educate a pupil or a student is by doing it without them deciphering that they are being educated. Thereupon, cognition is the process of acquiring and understanding knowledge through one's thoughts, experiences, and senses (Savarese, 2015). On the other hand, learning itself is obtaining knowledge by being taught, extensive studies and experience. While the two are inexorably interconnected in the sense that effective learning requires cognition, this text serves to examine and recommend many other ways of teaching students to aid them to grasp and remembers what they have been taught.
The research of the study resources to advocate how students should study for them to understand, remember and be able to apply what they have learned better, is done on all students partaking different courses in the world right now and in the future. However, having read all the provided materials on cognitive and learning, students who will benefit more from the skills are those taking technical courses in sciences such as physics, chemistry, and psychology programs. Additionally, the knowledge is more pertinent to high school and higher learning students because it is generally at these ages that children have become fundamentally aware of their environment, relatively able to engage their thoughts in their learning and newly equipped with the ability to apply their memories in their judgments and life.
Recommendation 1: Using Embodied Cognition in Learning
Teachers should consider using embodied cognition as a learning strategy and more importantly, as one of the primary methods of teaching students. This text highly recommends this method because of the sense that with it, a student ought to utilize their imaginations when devising a formula or reason about a physical function without using the required abstract rules (Han & Black, 2011). The theory suggests that the body of a human being is responsible for thinking and problem solving. Embodied cognition and haptic feedback is significant because using it will not only make education more efficient and productive, but also allows students to better understand what they are being taught. The method works by giving students a platform and the ability to engage with the knowledge being taught at a personal level. This is because the strategy enables them to create a mental picture of the constitutes of learning then applying them in answering certain questions in all fields of education.
An experiment that shows the validity of the idea of embodied cognition in education is one that estimates certain measurements of students. In this practice, students could be asked to look at pictures of several pictures such as the Statue of Liberty, the Eiffel Tower and others, then estimate their di...
