Cognitive MappingCognitive Mapping
The Unified Learning Model and General Rules of Learning(Shell et al., 2009).
Rule 1. New Learning Requires Attention: “Teaching and instruction are about getting learners to attend things”
Rule 2. Learning Requires Repetition: “Teaching needs to include retrieving and for skills, practice”
Rule 3. Learning Is About Connections: “Effective teaching and instruction are about insuring that learners are attending proper connections”
Rule 4. Some Learning is Effortless; Some Requires Effort: “Since school is about deliberately learning specific information and skills, learning in school will be difficult (needs effort)”.
Rule 5. Learning is Learning: “At the level of neuron, human learning is human learning, the only difference comes from previous experiences. What we already know impacts what we can learn next or more easily”

3. Helping to make sense of the world (Kelly, 1992).
4. Communicating one’s own concepts and their relation (Johnson & Johnson, 2002).
