What is cognitive education?

Cognitive education is a method of teaching that focuses on the stimulation and development of students of students, which in turn will improve their teaching capacity. This method monitors cognitive skills holistically and includes social, emotional and imaginative aspects instead of looking at intelligence. “Thinking of schools” that apply this educational method to the “instrumental enrichment program” Dr. Reuvena Feuerstein, which evolved from his theory of structural cognitive modification.

One of the main principles of cognitive education is to "learn". The student's ability to learn not only on his DNA and inherited features, but also depends on the environment. Unlike conventional teaching methods that quantify the intelligence of a student according to the test scores, this newer teaching method focuses beyond the score and asks why the score is either high or low. In this way, cognitive education can develop learning techniques that can help students maximize their tearing experience.

For a child to "learn how to learn", Dr. Feuerstein method called mediated experience in learning. Simply put, another person - usually in the form of a mentor - acts as a "mediator" from whom the student learns many skills to improve his learning. After the students have been equipped, they can now learn directly from their environment, but still have a strong relationship with their mentors.

One technique that cognitive education can teach students, is the mapping of the mind. This technique can train a student to explore certain subject matter of unlimited ways by asking, "What do you think when you hear the word…?" The student can then outline the map or web using any numbers and words that can connect with the word. This will help him remember what the lesson is about while creating new ideas for himself. Maps of mind are useful not only for students, andLe also for all groups of people on brainstorm sessions.

Cognitive education also teaches "insight". This is particularly useful for entities that require strong remembering. Instead of representing a list of words that a student should understand and spell correctly, cognitive educators can train students to break up words, associate them with real life examples, and find patterns to help them remember the right spelling. These techniques will not only help the student remember words, but also teach him how to use them long after the lesson is completed. With these strategies, cognitive education corresponds to the question of "how to learn", instead of a traditional "what to learn". The student approaching in this way can help the student be more equipped for the world outside the walls of the classroom.
