Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Who’s theory of instruction should address the following major aspects:(1) predisposition towards learning, (2) the ways in which a body of knowledge can be structured so that it can be most readily grasped by the learner, and (3) the most effective sequences in which to present material?
A
Bruner
B
Vygotsky
C
Piaget
D
Dewey
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bruner felt that experiences should be designed that will help the student be willing and able to learn. He called this the predisposition toward learning.

Detailed explanation-2: -In Bruner’s Theory learners go from a tangible, action-oriented stage of learning to a symbolic and abstract stage of learning. By using this theory, learners can build new knowledge upon knowledge they’ve previously learned. This can lead to a better understanding of what students are learning.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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”.
