The influence of cognitive learning theory on the quality of student learning

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to examine the influence of cognitive learning theory on the quality of student learning. Student learning progress can be measured through indicators of academic improvement, learning independence, metacognitive abilities, and social and communication skills. The application of this theory also encourages students to be more creative and independent in learning. However, the success of this strategy is largely determined by the teacher's understanding of cognitive theory. Teachers who understand cognitive principles will find it easier to design active and meaningful learning, such as through group discussions, peer tutors, concrete media such as "sate pidak", and collaborative learning. Such learning strategies not only increase student involvement but also create a fun and effective learning atmosphere. Therefore, cognitive learning theory is an important basis for creating student-centered education and supporting optimal learning progress. This study concludes that students' cognitive learning theory in the success of student learning quality is not enough only for the will but also encouragement and support and the role of teachers in teaching their students optimally.
