Bruner

Bruner's Educational Thought

Bruner is the American psychologist and educator, a representative structure of ideology. His major works include: "education process" "Cognitive," "educational suitability," and so on.

Bruner believes that learning a subject is not only learn what , what is more important to know how to deal with, that is, learn how to learn. He pointed out that we teach a course, does not want students to be the subject of a small library, and second, to their participation in the process of acquiring knowledge. He stressed that: human learning seems to be a necessary ingredient, it is like that, is try to explore the scenario of chance. Therefore, learning should be found as the main method of teaching children to encourage children to discover the mysteries of knowledge to master the discipline structure.

On discovery learning, Bruner pointed out: the minds of their own personal access to all forms of knowledge can be called discovery learning.

Bruner further study and propose ways to promote discovery learning, first, to encourage children to actively think about and explore; the second is to stimulate children's intrinsic motivation to learn; Third, pay attention to the compatibility of old and new knowledge; four is to train students to use assumptions, the control , the operation of the discovery skills.

I appreciate Bruner's Discovery Learning Theory model. Because of this theoretical model is based on habits of physical and mental development of children raised, and should be encouraged for children have hope that nature. Found that not only focus on learning the theory of knowledge to encourage children to explore, also noted the link old and new knowledge is more important is to train students to learn skills.
