Chapter 5 Bruners Learning Theory o the classic example is the"- map"exercise in which students are given maps indicating the physical features of an area(temperatures, rainfall, elevations, and locations of natural resources and waterways) and are invited to speculate about the locations of the capital city and the major seaport, the economic emphases likely to develop in particular regions or the placement and functions of the major highways or railroads. Later, the students are given more detailed maps indicating the development that actually occurred. This feedback generally confirms the usefulness of the principles of geography being learned but also introduces complexity by showing that exceptions can occur due to unique local factors(capitals are not always the largest or most centrally located cities)Chapter 5 Bruner’s Learning Theory ⚫ the classic example is the "fill-in-the-map" exercise in which students are given maps indicating the physical features of an area (temperatures, rainfall, elevations, and locations of natural resources and waterways) and are invited to speculate about the locations of the capital city and the major seaport, the economic emphases likely to develop in particular regions or the placement and functions of the major highways or railroads.
