Cognition, Culture and Computers in Continuous Education
نویسنده
چکیده
This course is an attempt to summarise some of the current knowledge of complexity of cognitive processing within the new “natural context” of learning – the computers. Computers are viewed as much more flexible devices for understanding, modeling, guiding and prompting the learner, than it is generally assumed. In order to be efficient educational tools, they have to accommodate both the general and the specific phenomena of learning as revealed by research on human cognition. Interacting with the computer is in essence a process of continuous education where developmental, cultural and cognitive aspects “blend” to create an educational system of mutual understanding and adaptation for the learners to gain confidence in their knowledge about the world and about themselves.
