Which learning method emphasizes understanding the reason behind each procedure?

  1. Experiential learning

  2. Constructivist approach

  3. Cognitive approach

  4. Visual learning

The correct answer is: Cognitive approach

The cognitive approach emphasizes understanding the reasons behind each procedure because it focuses on mental processes involved in learning. This method encourages learners to think critically and understand the underlying concepts, rather than just memorizing steps or performing tasks. It involves activities that stimulate thinking, problem-solving, and comprehension, helping learners to connect new information with prior knowledge. Engaging with material actively, as promoted in this approach, enables learners to grasp not only how to perform a task but also why it is done that way. This deeper understanding fosters better retention and application of knowledge in different contexts, making the cognitive approach particularly effective for learning complex procedures.
