A STUDY TO IMPLEMENT AN ONLINE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT FOR ENHANCING COGNITIVE PEDAGOGY PRINCIPLES AND INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES.

Abstract

This study was to build and assess an online learning environment meant to improve instructional strategies in digital education and raise cognitive pedagogy principles. It is rather important to make sure that instructional strategies match the methods in which student’s process, recall, and apply various kinds of knowledge since the increasing dependence on virtual platforms for teaching and learning calls for them. The study integrates key educational ideas such scaffolding, active learning, metacognition, and learner autonomy within the framework of the online environment. Grounded in cognitive learning theories including information processing, schema theory, and constructivism are these ideas. Features include interactive material, adaptive feedback, cooperative tasks, and self-assessment tools have been included to support a wide spectrum of cognitive abilities. Based on early results, student involvement, critical thinking, and knowledge have improved. The study also shows how technology-mediated education might be adjusted to fit the particular learning requirements of every student while concurrently promoting a greater knowledge of the taught content. The results provide educators, instructional designers, and educational institutions striving for the development of cognitively enhanced online learning experiences insightful analysis that may be used. Regarding the growing area of educational technology, this work contributes by stressing the need of including efficient cognitive pedagogy into virtual learning settings.
