Describe what psychologists mean by the terms schema and script, and illustrate each of these concepts with a concrete example. Then explain how schemas and scripts sometimes play a role in learning and knowledge construction
What will be an ideal response?
A schema is an organized set of facts about a specific concept or phenomenon. A script is a schema that involves a predictable sequence of events related to some activity. (The student should describe a concrete example of each of these.) Schemas and scripts promote knowledge construction by enabling learners to fill in missing information in a manner consistent with how objects typically are and/or how events typically unfold.
