About Bruner

(1915-2016)

- He was one of the most influential constructivists.

- He was influenced by Piaget’s ideas about cognitive development in children.

- His ideas have been widely discussed among educators and teachers.

- Some of Bruner’s theoretical principles focus on these ideas:

 Nature of Learning and The Learning Process.

 Instructional scaffolding

 The intellectual development of the learner

EXERCISE

Learning

The Spiral Curriculum

  • 1. Begins with the basic and simple ideas that underlie that which is more complex

  • 2. Emphasizes the intuitive grasp of ideas and the use of those basic ideas in the early teaching of any subject

  • 3. Revisits the basic ideas repeatedly

  • 4. Enables continual deepening of understanding by facilitating the use of basic ideas in progressively more complex forms

- Learning for Bruner is an active process.

- Learners are able to construct new knowledge based on past knowledge.

- (1966)The contribution of Bruner in the constructivist theory of learning established by Piaget:

  • Modes of representation
  • The spiral curriculum
  • Learning through acts of discovery

Modes of Representation

Discovery Learning

Bruner identified three modes of representation or systems of processing:

He referred to this as enactive, iconic, and symbolic.

Bruner’s modes of representation provide an explanation of cognitive growth; that it proceeds in sequence from:

LEARNED=

Action patterns-images -symbol system

  • The concept: a learner constructs his or her own knowledge for themselves by discovering as opposed to being told about something.
  • According to Bruner, the teacher, should facilitate the learning process by developing lessons, that provide the learner with information they need, without organizing it for them.
  • This idea of discovery learning is often referred to as constructivism, which emphasizes the active role of the learner in building understanding and making sense of information.
