Bruner in Practice
- scaffolding
- Teachers should assist learners in building
their knowledge. This assistance should fade
away as it becomes unnecessary.
- Instruction must be appropriate to the level of the learners.
- For example, being aware of the learners’
learning modes (enactive, iconic, symbolic)
will help you plan and prepare
appropriate materials for instruction
according to the difficulty that matches
learners’ level.
- The teachers must revisit material to enhance
knowledge. Building on pre-taught ideas to grasp the
full formal concept is of paramount importance
according to Bruner
- Feel free to re-introduce vocabulary,
grammar points, and other topics
now and then in order to push the
students to a deeper
comprehension and longer
retention.
- Material must be presented in a sequence giving the learners the opportunity to: A-acquire and
construct knowledge, B-transform and transfer his learning.
- Students should be involved in
using their prior experiences and
structures to learn new knowledge.
- Help students to categorize
new information in order to
able to see similarities and
differences between items.
- Teachers should provide feedback that is directed towards intrinsic motivation. Grades and
competition are not helpful in the learning process.
- Bruner states that learners must “experience
success and failure not as reward and punishment,
but as information” (Bruner 1961, p. 26)
