The Teaching of Children’s Literature: An Application of Bruner’s Discovery Learning Theory (Article written in chinese)

Maggie Fung-luen Lau

Abstract

Since stepping into the 21st century, Hong Kong has gradually evolved into a knowledge-based society full of challenges. In this era of information explosion, it is not enough for the new generation to just absorb knowledge indiscriminately. They must also grasp various learning skills in order to learn how to learn. What the discovery leaning theory of Bruner emphasizes is precisely students taking the initiative to learn. This article explores the application of Bruner’s theory in teaching and uses the teaching of children’s literature as an example. The aim is to stimulate students to acquire knowledge through active learning.
