3. WHAT IS COGNITIVISM?
Cognitivism was officially recognized around 1956.
In science, cognition refers to mental processes.
These processes include attention, remembering,
producing and understanding language, solving problems,
and making decisions.
Cognitivist replaced behaviorism in 1960s as the
dominant paradigm.

Cognitivism is the study in psychology that focuses on
mental processes, including how people perceive,
think, remember, learn, solve problems, and direct
their attention to one stimulus rather than another.
Cognitive theory, activities like thinking and
remembering seem like a behavior, thus providing an
avenue to use behavior analysis to measure their effect
on learning.

6. ROBERT GAGNE
He was born in 1916-2002
He was a psychologist and educator
Mr. Gagne developed his learning theories
based on behaviorist's and information
processing point of view.
He is know for his contribution in the area of
cognitive learning hierarchies
Mr. Gagne also identified five major categories
of learning: verbal information, intellectual
skills, cognitive strategies, motor skills, and
attitudes.
While in the Air Force, he develop some of his
ideas for his comprehensive learning theory.
7. ROBERT GAGNE
• Gagne developed three principles that he
viewed as integral for successful instruction:
1. Providing instruction on the set of
component tasks that build toward a final
task
2. Ensuring that each component task is
mastered
3. Sequencing the component tasks to
ensure optimal transfer to the final task
• To maximize the potential for the internal
process of learning to occur, Gagne identified
nine events of instruction.
8. HOW WILL WE OBSERVE
THIS?
Teachers
By allowing children to interact
with one another
By placing within their grasp
block and slot games
Also this can be captured by
putting different toys out
We can analyze the children when
they draw or write
9. HOW WILL WE OBSERVE
THIS?
Children
They would play matching games
They would be given task based
off of instructions
The students would do normal
everyday assignments
10. MY CLASSROOM
This theory would help with the
different groups
It would determine the different
stations of activities
Which level each kid would be on
It will shape how I instruct the
children based on their learning
perspective
It will help with how the children
are tested
11. MY CLASSROOM
I would utilize Gagne
five areas of learning
outcomes
I would also use his
nine events of
instruction
