Based upon all that I have learned about the brain and
learning this week leads me to believe that cognitivism will best inform successful
learning approaches. Skinner suggested that by understanding how the brain
worked, a better understanding of learning would result. I have learned that
with reinforcement and linking new ideas to prior knowledge meaning is
constructed and children are able to store information in their long-term
memories. This process can be achieved by presenting learning in small chunks by constructing models which assists in acquiring and integrating knowledge
(Marzano & Pickering, 1997).
