A
Bruner
B
Vygotsky
C
Piaget
D
Dewey
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gningue et al use Bruner’s Theory of Representation to teach pre-algebra and algebra concepts. This theory explains that, when faced with new material, a child goes through three stages of representation and follow the progression from an enactive to an iconic to a symbolic representation.

Detailed explanation-2: -About Enactive Mode/Levels: Sometimes It is called the concrete stage. It involves encoding action based information and storing it in our memory. For example, in the form of movement as a muscle memory, a baby might remember the action of shaking a rattle.

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: -Jerome Bruner Theory His research on children’s cognitive development proposed three ‘modes of representation’: Enactive representation (based on action) Iconic representation (based on images) Symbolic representation (based on language)
