Repetition
Different levels

- Design lessons that help students discover the relationship between bits of information. To do this a teacher must give students the information they need, but without organising it for them
- Give initial task
- Provide opportunities to ask questions and explore/research
- Use the Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract (CPA) approach

Learners learn best when they acquire new knowledge and are allowed to manipulate and transform this knowledge in order to be able to understand it.

This is done  using different strategies e.g problem-solving and play activities, research on the internet  and talking to their peers (like we have done today) .

It therefore stems from the scaffolding concept in this sense as we have built on yesterdays learning but constructed new ideas following on from this, such as Bruner.

Bruner believed that students then go on to check their learning by talking it through  with the adult supervising their learning.

He championed the “spiral curriculum,” in which subjects are taught to students year after year at increasing levels of complexity

For Bruner (1961), the purpose of education is not to impart knowledge, but instead to facilitate a child's thinking and problem-solving skills which can then be transferred to a range of situations.

American Psychologist and Educator

Bruner received his bachelor’s degree in psychology at Duke University in 1937, a master’s degree in psychology in 1939, then a doctorate degree in psychology in 1941 at Harvard University.

He is a world renowned cognitive psychologist and his studies helped to introduce Jean Piaget’s concept of developmental stages of cognition into the classroom. His book The Process of Education (1960) was a strong influence to the curriculum-reform movement of the period.

Bruner believes there are three stages to learning the first is:
Enactive (0-1 years)
Action based information and storing it in our minds,
for example - a baby might remember the action of shaking a rattle.

Iconic (1-6 years)
Information is stored visually in forms of images -
for some this is something that they are conscious of, but, for others they do not experience this.

Symbolic (7 years onward)
This develops last. Information is stored in a form of a code or symbol, such as language

Summary
Bruners Constructivist theory suggests it is effective when faced with new materials to follow a progression from Enactive --> iconic --> Symbolic.
