- 6. What do teachersdo? With technology… A lecture based on power point presentation (visual) and instruction/talking of teacher (verbal).Without technology… A lecture based on some other visual object such as poster or flash cards with teacher’s verbal addition.
- 7. What do studentsdo?With technology… Take in a better understanding of the material after seeing it and hearing it. Especially with the use of technology (Power Point, etc.) it is more effective. Without technology… Same concept is used however resources to display visuals are limited. Verbal resources rely strictly on just the teacher as opposed to other audio with technology.
- 8. What do Ithink of cognitivism for my own teaching? I believe that cognitivism is a very effective mechanism used for teaching. Most of my teachers in the past and currently use this theory in teaching. It really helps the students master the material. Cognitivism can be used in many different ways to expand the mind and gain intelligence. The theories that make up this teaching style all collaborate and work well together.
