WHAT WE ASPIRE TO DO…
To research systematically and diligently, to investigate and study the mindsets, materials and manipulatives needed to optimize learning.
Design : It’s a structured approach to generating and developing ideas. We aspire to design models for anticipated or intended outcomes that have been identified in the research as necessary elements of cognitive learning .
Cognitive learning: All the design models are about enabling people to learn by using their reason, intuition and perception. By taking an interdisciplinary connotation of cognitive learning and cognition, the centre aims at learning through a group of mental, processes that includes attention, memory, producing and understanding language, learning, reasoning, problem solving, decision making, group dynamics and abstract concepts.
