When it comes to education, many people have different views on how children should learn things. A psychologist named Jerome Bruner had his own theory regarding education. Bruner himself is a very intelligent man, who went to school to study and learn about many types of psychology in order to completely understand humans to the best of his knowledge. He strived to learn more about cognitive growth and learning so that he could help children in the future. This is what helped him develop his theory into what it is today. Jerome Seymour Bruner was born on October 1, 1915. Jerome received a bachelor's degree in psychology in 1937. In 1939, he continued his studies to a master's degree and then a doctorate in 1941. Bruner made many contributions to different types of psychology such as cognitive psychology and cognitive learning theory in educational psychology. He also wanted to work on the history and general philosophy of education. Of all people, Bruner happens to be one of the pioneers of the cognitive psychology movement in the United States. This is because he studied sensation and perspective as active rather than passive processes. 1947, Jérôme published Value and need as organizing factors of perception. This was a study he conducted with poor and rich children who had to estimate the size of coins or wooden discs the size of a nickel, a US dime, 'a dime, a half dollar and a quarter dollar. The result showed that both poor and rich children overestimate the size of coins because poor children do not have money often enough to be able to memorize the size and rich children are so used to having money. money they don't pay. pay attention to the size whatever it is. Experiments like this lead psychologists to challenge themselves to study an organism's internal interpretation and that organism's response.
