For better instructions, we need to creative the environment to suit with children’s or other learners’ learning activities. For example, a computer class should be taught in a computer lab instead of usual classrooms. In children’s cognitive development, children are affected each other and organize knowledge together with the acquisition of new schema. Schema is like guiding learners to understand the information that will be around. Learners can learn and adopt new schemes by combining old ones.A schema includes ideas, information, actions and plans. For example, the teacher tells the students move to computer lab. The students will think that they will do something with computer. When they sit in front the computers, they will think that they are going to turn it on. When the teacher passes the handouts, they know that they are going to learn something with computers and the topic will show on the handouts. This is “Schema”.
I have learned about Piaget’s cognitive development.Online learning program is a way to let students receive feedback from their own while they follow steps to learn about it if they didn’t do right on the right track, then they will need to go back to do again. After students read the tutorial on the papers, they have new schemas. They understand that they’re going to learn about the new software. When they learn with computers, they know that the first thing is turn on the software. They will have problems while they start to practice it. That’s why using flash tutorial to help them find the answers. They will experience new knowledge, and assimilate and accommodate it by attaining equilibrium.
