Cognitivism in Practice
There are many cognitive learning practices that are extremely beneficial in the primary grades. I teach second grade and have had great success with teaching students skills such as "note taking" which is more commonly seen in upper grades. I find that teaching students to take notes and then referring back to to notes is very beneficial for writing and science and social studies. There are also many advanced organizers that have been created and simplified for elementary students. I think finding what works for your style is the key to success in any teaching experience.

Hi Leann,
ReplyDeleteThat is great that you teach your students how to take notes. That is a very important skills for students to master. Have you ever used inspiration software with your students? I used it the other day with my students and it worked well. My students were engaged while using it and create a useful concept map and outline.
