What is cognitivism?
Cognitive strategies refer to mental processes that we perform consciously or unconsciously. With them, students achieve a complete learning, obtaining the information to the letter.
Within the cognitive strategies we find:
Strategies of recirculation of information:
The basic strategy is review, which as we already know and its own name indicates, consists of repeating, and therefore reviewing, information over and over again until it is retained in their long-term memory.
Elaboration strategies:
We use them to interrelate the new information with the previous knowledge that the students have. These are used to remember names, dates, categories, elements... With them they can make comparisons between what they have learned and what they already knew before.
Organizational strategies:
They allow students to structure and order information. With them they can group information and classify it, and then establish hierarchies in the information.
Therefore, cognitive processes are mental operations performed by the brain to process information. It catches the concept, works that information, stores it, and then analyzes it and uses it to make decisions. So, as teachers, we think you should work on them with children as soon as possible, from an early age.
The use of cognitive strategies in the foreign language classroom is a very good resource for students to understand the language, assimilate it, store it in their memory and later, use it. It is a way to learn to speak fluently in the second language.
Tienen que comprender el mensaje que reciben, los textos que leen y las distintas reglas del lenguaje.
They have to understand the message they receive, the texts they read and the different rules of language.
Finally, you can watch this video that summarizes the main ideas on the characteristics of cognitivism.
