Cognitive Learning

Cognitive Learning

Cognitive learning is based on purposive behavior, incidental learning, and insight learning.
E. C. Tolman's theory of purposive behavior emphasizes that much behavior is goal-directed. He argued that to understand behavior, we must look at the entire sequence of actions leading to a goal. For instance, high school students study hard, not just due to past reinforcement but also to achieve the goal of getting into a good college.
Tolman introduced the idea that behavior is influenced by...

Area of Science:

Urban planning
Educational equity
Community development

Background:

Youth STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) pathways are shaped by a complex ecosystem of organizations, places, and resources.
Stakeholders often work in silos, limiting their understanding of how different factors (e.g., transportation, programming) impact youth opportunities.
A comprehensive view of the opportunity landscape is essential for equitable youth progress in STEM.

Purpose of the Study:

To outline a city's approach to mapping its opportunity landscape for youth.
To foster collaboration among stakeholders to create cohesive STEM learning opportunities.
To increase youth freedom of movement and access to resources within the urban environment.

Main Methods:

Collecting systems-driven data on organizations, places, barriers, and supports.
Engaging in collaborative design with community and organizational partners.
Analyzing the intersection of various impact areas within the urban ecosystem.

Main Results:

Development of a cohesive opportunity landscape for one city.
Design of summer 2023 youth STEM learning opportunities based on collaborative insights.
Identification of factors influencing youth mobility and resource access.

Conclusions:

Mapping the opportunity landscape is crucial for understanding and improving youth STEM pathways.
Collaborative design efforts can lead to increased access and equitable opportunities for all youth.
Addressing systemic barriers enhances youth engagement and progress in STEM fields.
