This 21st century is a century of openness and advancement of science, also known as the era of globalization, as well as the emergence of the industrial revolution 4.0. The initial concept of the industrial revolution 4.0 was first introduced by Professor Klaus Schwab. According to him, this fourth industrial revolution is not only about intelligent machines and systems and machines, but has a wider scope of various other new breakthroughs.
In this review we will not discuss the industrial revolution, but there is an interesting discussion for the sustainability of a great generation, namely the implementation of cognitive theory in realizing skills in this century, namely the 21st century. So what are the important points that we must learn? Please take a look.
The goal of education in the 21st century should be more directed to an effort to equip students with the skills needed in this century. by the time they graduate from school, they are already qualified with the skills they have. There are at least some skill domains that must be possessed by students in the 21st century, including digital literacy. Intensive thinking, effective communication, and has good spiritual and moral values. Another equally important domain is productive.
Through the implementation of cognitive learning theory, the domain in question can be realized. Because, cognitive learning theory is believed to be able to overcome the problems that are often encountered in realizing 21st century skills. In cognitive learning theory, the focus is on changing mental processes internally and used to understand the external world. In cognitive learning theory, the process is used to learn simple tasks to complex tasks.
Human behavior or in this case is that students cannot be measured and explained without involving other mental processes such as motivation, student learning interest, and also attitudes.
This is a characteristic of the cognitive theory learning process. In cognitive learning theory, the process is more important than the result. The learning process of a person or student does not only focus on the relationship between stimulus and response. More than that, the process in cognitive learning theory is also how a person's behavior in achieving learning goals.
