Representation
1. Enactive
representation-
At the earliest ages, children learn
about the world through actions on
physical objects and the outcomes
of these actions. Children represent
object in terms of their immediate
sensation of them.
2. Iconic
representation-
This second stage is when
learning can be obtained
through using models of
pictures. The learner can now
use mental images to stand
for certain objects or event.
3. Symbolic
representation-
The learner has developed
the ability to think in
abstract terms. This uses
symbol system to encode
knowledge.

• Teacher must revisit the curriculum
by teaching the same content in
different ways depending on
student’s developmental levels.
Discovery
learning
•It refers to
obtaining knowledge
for oneself.
