Cognitive Content

Example breakdown of cognitive content
|
Cognitive tasks are knowledge based competencies. Often a cognitive skill must be mastered to fully understand how to perform other tasks. Cognitive mastery provides the rational for decisions and judgments.
Since this content is conceptual, these skills often support procedural skills. For example. how to create a note in a computer system is a procedural task but the reasons for creating the note and the qualities of a good note are cognitive tasks. Cognitive skills are paired with related performances to verify mastery such as application exercises. |
