For Bruner (1961), the purpose of education is not to impart knowledge, but instead to facilitate a child’s thinking and problem-solving skills which can then be transferred to a range of situations. Specifically, education should also develop symbolic thinking in childre...

The aim of education should be to create autonomous learners (i.e., learning to learn). In his research on the cognitive development of children (1966), Jerome Bruner proposed three modes of representation: Enactive representation (action-based) Iconic representation (image-based) Symbolic representation (language-based)
