Can you see the relevance for one of the learning theories in your teaching practice?

Yes, I see the relevance of Cognitive Theory   to my teaching practice, especially when I present my lessons I should make use of different teaching methods that deals with high order thinking. As  Cognitive theory conceive learning as thinking. ( Ian Moll pre-pub). The teacher should enable learners to think creatively before they solve the given problem. Learners should able to use their own ideas, own methods of showing understanding of concept. After being taught by the teacher.
