CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Jerome Bruner identified three stages of cognitive representation. Enactive, which is the representation of knowledge through actions. Iconic, which is the visual summarization of images. Symbolic representation, which is the use of words and other symbols to describe experiences.

Detailed explanation-2: -Jerome Bruner’s Theory of Development is based on the assumption that we learn best when we go from concrete to abstract in a three-step process: First comes hands-on “Action”, then learning with “Images” and finally students transform what they’ve learned into “Language”.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enactive (0-1 year) The first kind of memory. This mode is used within the first year of life. Thinking is based entirely on physical actions, and infants learn by doing, rather than by internal representation. It involves encoding physical action based information and storing it in our memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bruner identifies four significant aspects of effective teaching and learning: (1) attitude towards learning, (2) knowledge presented in a way that accommodates the student’s learning ability, (3) material presented in effective sequences, and (4) carefully considered and paced rewards and punishments.
