QUESTION 1
Bruner’s theory focuses on levels of knowing and operates on three levels, that is,
enactive, iconic and symbolic levels.
1.1. Discuss the three types of knowledge and provide an example of each. Do not
use the examples in the study guide, create your own. (9)
Enactive knowledge is derived from the physical manipulation of objects and the child’s
own movement. This involves all that the young child is doing, for example sorting or
counting objects. Examples of enactive learning is moving around in the class to touch
something that has the same shape as, say, a box, or children using their fingers to count.
Iconic knowledge involves mental operations where the child uses representations of
concrete objects, for example, using pictures thereof. The emphasis here is on visual and
perceptual information (Schultz, Colarusso & Strawderman 1989). An example of this kind
of knowledge is when children are provided with a picture of three butterflies and are asked
to draw a flower for each butterfly.
Symbolic knowledge refers to the ability to use abstract symbols. The goal in
mathematics is to reach the highest level of symbolic knowledge. This means that the child
will start off by counting 2 real apples (enactive), then be able to count 2 pictures of apples
(iconic), and then eventually use number symbols to represent 1 + 1 = 2
