Cognitivism

Cognitivism is a way of understanding learning that focuses on how the mind works—like thinking, remembering, and problem-solving. It’s about what happens inside your head when you learn, rather than just your actions or behaviors. For example, cognitivism looks at how you organize information, make connections, and use strategies to understand new ideas. In short, it’s about learning as a mental process, like figuring out a puzzle or building a map of knowledge in your brain.
