Phases of Cognitive Development

The Power of Four

Zeroing in on the four phases of cognitive development, we can use them to frame the resources we include in our modules. Providing a trigger to pique interest; material to explore; opportunities to integrate new information; and a prompt to reflect or resolve outstanding issues, can engage learners more deeply with the content and foster a more meaningful connection with the material.
