Cognitive Science
Cognitive science in education, particularly mathematics education, encompasses the interdisciplinary study of human cognition and learning, with a focus on how these processes relate to the acquisition and application of mathematical knowledge. This field draws from disciplines such as psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and artificial intelligence to understand how learners process, store, and retrieve information, and how this understanding can inform effective instructional strategies and curricular design, particularly in preschool settings where foundational cognitive skills are developed. Central concepts include memory, attention, problem-solving, metacognition, and the role of social and cultural factors in learning. Practitioners in this field aim to bridge research and practice, using evidence-based approaches to enhance mathematical understanding and promote lifelong learning.
