A faculty member is preparing a class that covers very sophisticated and difficult material. This faculty member uses the cognitive learning theories predominantly
To use cognitive theory to teach this material, the faculty member would most likely a. assess students' knowledge first because they may need to "unlearn" other material.
b. assign a case study that requires group collaboration and problem solving.
c. prepare a detailed lecture complete with informative slides and handouts.
d. require students to read heavily on their own and give minimal information.
B
Active learning, including having to actively seek information and collaborating with others, is consistent with cognitive learning theories.
Having students "unlearn" old knowledge would be consistent with behaviorist theories.
Detailed lectures and handouts are most consistently aligned with behaviorist theory.
Having students do heavy reading on their own might be part of a cognitive theory-based class, but there is not enough detail about the learning process to make this answer correct.
