Under Jerome Bruner's Cognitive Development Theory, the concept of Discovery Learning or Guided Discovery encourages learners to discover rules, principles, and concepts themselves through their environment, experimental materials, and logical interactions rather than receiving pre-packaged knowledge. Which of the following psychological statements is most authentic and scientifically valid regarding its actual psychological implications for independent intellectual development, intrinsic motivation, and the long-term retention of knowledge in classroom teaching?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Explanation
According to Jerome Bruner's Discovery Learning theory, when children discover rules and principles through their own efforts and intellectual curiosity, their cognitive development becomes stronger. Unlike passive knowledge acquisition, this method makes students active explorers, which increases their intrinsic motivation, develops critical thinking, and enables them to retain acquired knowledge in their memory for a long time.
- Option C correctly identifies that discovery learning fosters active problem-solving, enhances intrinsic motivation, and promotes long-term retention of concepts.
- Options A, B, and D contradict the fundamental constructivist principles of Bruner's theory.
