EDUCATION (CBSE/UGC NET)

Detailed explanation-1: -“Any subject can be taught effectively in some intellectually honest form to any child at any stage of development.” Jerome Bruner was a leader of the Cognitive Revolution (pdf) that ended the reign of behaviorism in American psychological research and put cognition at the center of the field.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bruner has proposed Theory of instruction. The theory implies the idea that anything can be taught to any child when they reach the appropriate stage of cognitive maturity.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -According to the Bruner’s theory, for effective teaching and learning can be done through three modes of representation: enactive representation (action based), iconic representation (image based), and symbolic representation (language based) and that is the main focus for this automated tool.

Detailed explanation-5: -Discovery learning is an inquiry-based learning method that takes a constructivist approach to education, where students are encouraged to construct their own knowledge through a self-directed learning process-essentially “instructionless” learning.
