Chapter 5 Bruners Learning Theory ●53.2 Main ideas o he advocates instructional methods that encourage student learn by discovery. Opportunities to manipulate objects actively and transform them through direct action are valuable for inducing curiosity, as are activities that encourage students to search, explore, analyze, or otherwise process input rather than merely respond to it. In theory, such opportunities not only wil increase students knowledge about the topic at hand but also will help them develop generalized learning-to-learn strategies useful for discovering knowledge in other situations
