Information processing

This is yet another influential theoretical framework based on the notion of information processing. Please focus on the various cognitive and meta-cognitive strategies of information processing and learning roughly the second half of Ch.7. Note that underlying all effective strategies described in the Chapter is the discovery of implicit regularities and connections within the studied material, and of connections between this material and other subject areas, as well as students previous knowledge and experiences. In other words, those strategies are based on making sense of the learned materials and concepts. Include an example/ specific project/ activity you would use to implement this in your classroom.
