Brunner emphasizes the importance of;
I. Understanding the structure of the subject being studied.
II. The need for active learning to make personal discoveries as the basis for true understanding
III. The value of inductive reasoning in learning.
Discovery and Action
Refers to the fundamental ideas, relationships or patterns of a field
Because structure does not include details it can be represented by a diagram or formula.
The teacher should allow learners to discover principles, patterns for themselves. The teacher should only provide examples and allow learners to work with those examples to discover patterns or relationships.
Brunner suggests that teachers should nurture intuitive thinking by encouraging students to make guesses based incomplete evidence, and then confirm or disapprove the guesses systematically.
Discovery and action
The teacher organizes the class so that students can learn from their own involvement.
