 COGNITIVE LEARNING
Cognitive learning is a type of learning that is
active, constructive, and long – lasting. It engages
students in the learning processes, teaching them to
use their brains more effectively to make
connections when learning new things.
WHAT DOES COGNITIVE LEARNING
FOCUS ON?
This style of learning is a powerful alternative to the
traditional classroom approach. Instead of focusing
on memorization, cognitive learning builds on past
knowledge. Students learn to make connections and
reflect on the material – skills that help them become
better learners
FACTORS OF COGNITIVE LEARNING
 COMPREHENSION
This building cognitive learning skills teaches students
how to learn more effectively. Students learn to do
more than repeat what they have learned. They
understand the “why” behind a topic and how it fits
into a larger picture.
 MEMORY
Unlike drill-and-kill memorization methods, cognitive
learning helps students gain a deeper understanding
of a subject. This improves recall in the long run, so
students can build upon past knowledge.
 APPLICATION
The cognitive learning approach gives students the
chance to reflect on what they are learning and how
it applies to other material. This helps students
develop problem-solving skills they need to create
new connections between what they are learning.
EXAMPLES OF COGNITIVE LEARNING STRATEGIES
• Asking students to reflect on their experience
• Helping students to find solutions to problems
• Encouraging discussions about what is being taught
• Helping students explore and understand how ideas are
connected
• Asking students to justify and explain their thinking
• Using visualizations to improve students’ understanding and recall
BENEFITS OF COGNITIVE LEARNING
•IMPROVES COMPREHENSION – it encourages
students to take a hands – on approach to
learning. This allows them to explore the material
and develop a deeper understanding
BENEFITS OF COGNITIVE LEARNING
•DEVELOPS PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS – teaches
students the skills they need to learn effectively.
This helps students build transferable problem
solving and study skills that they can apply in any
subject
BENEFITS OF COGNITIVE LEARNING
•PROMOTES LONG TERM LEARNING – allows
students to build upon previous knowledge and
ideas. This teaches students to make connections
and apply new concepts to what they already
know.
BENEFITS OF COGNITIVE LEARNING
•IMPROVES CONFIDENCE – with a deeper
understanding of topics and stronger learning skills,
students can approach schoolwork with enthusiasm
and confidence.
BENEFITS OF COGNITIVE LEARNING
•INSTILLS A LOVE OF LEARNING – giving students
the chance to actively engage in learning makes it
fun and exciting. This helps students develop a
lifelong love for learning outside of the classroom.
