What Is Cognitive Restructuring?

Cognitive learning theory is a learning theory that explores the laws of learning by studying human cognitive processes. The main ideas include that people are the subject of learning and active learning; the process of human information acquisition is the information exchange process of perception, attention, memory, understanding, and problem solving; people's perception, attention, and understanding of external information are selective; The quality depends on the effect.

Cognitive learning theory believes that complex behaviors are compound reactions based on conditional connections.

It is generally believed that cognitive learning theory originated from the epistemology of Gestalt Psychology, a representative school of early cognitive theory. However, the true formation of cognitive learning theory was in the 1960s and 1970s.

From the social background of the rise of cognitive learning theory, it is the product of the development of modern society. Before World War II, almost all research in psychology was confined to the laboratory,

Epiphany of Gestalt

The views of the Gestalt School directly affect the formation and development of today's cognitive learning theory. The representative of Gestalt School is

Based on the above-mentioned cognitive learning theory's basic perspectives on learning, combined with teaching practice, researchers at home and abroad have proposed a series of principles that guide instructional design. Domestic scholars summarize them as:

1 Display the subject content structure to learners in an intuitive form. Learners should be made aware of the interrelationships between the various types of knowledge involved in teaching content;

2 The presentation of learning materials should be appropriate for the learners' cognitive development level, and the teaching content should be organized according to the principle of simplicity to complexity. The term "simplified to complex" mentioned here refers to the simplified whole to the complex whole;

3 Learning for understanding can help the knowledge to be durable and transferable;

4 Provide cognitive feedback to students to confirm their correct knowledge and correct their wrong learning. although

In the process of network education, if we want to apply this information processing theory to guide teaching, we need to be able to grasp the three stages in the information processing process in each link of network education. In each of these steps, students are constantly performing complex information processing in the brain. So when we are designing the teaching, whether every link can make the students perform this kind of information processing correctly will directly affect the success or failure of online education. These links are manifested in media such as learning to use the Internet, designing websites, providing references to online resources, and providing online teaching methods.
