Similarly to Bruner

Similarly to Bruner, I believe that intuitive and analytical thinking should both be encouraged and rewarded. Although Jerome contributed towards the emphasis of these skills, I do not think these skills are encouraged as much as others such as maths and science. Bruner felt that it was significant for a learner to attain the fundamental values of a subject. His theoretical framework is that learning is an active process and pupils construct new ideas and concepts based upon existing knowledge; like Piaget, he used three phases to develop his theory on modes of representation (how a pupil may think of an object).
