-====== Cognitive Apprenticeship Theory ======
-Cognitive apprenticeship theory is an instructional design model that emerged from situated cognition theory and was firstly introduced by Collins, Brown, and Newman in 1989. In their work "Cognitive apprenticeship: Teaching the crafts of reading, writing, and mathematics" the authors wrote:
-"We propose an alternative model of instruction that is accessible within the framework of the typical American classroom. It is a model of instruction that goes back to apprenticeship but incorporates elements of schooling. We call this model "cognitive apprenticeship"."
-Cognitive apprenticeship is a way of **learning through an experience guided by an expert**. Learning is here defined as naturally tied to activity, context, and
-culture and that should therefore be learning context.
-"Cognitive" refers to the fact that this learning model is **orientated more on cognitive than on physical skills**, that are usually associated with apprenticeship. According to mentioned work of Collins and others, methods of cognitive apprenticeship include:
-  * **Modeling** - includes analysis of skills and strategies involved in the task and **expert's presentation of the task** from which learners should build conceptual models of required processes
-  * **Coaching** - **learners try to perform the task** while expert offers them advice, reminders and hints
-  * **Articulation** - expert helps **learners** to **articulate their reasoning and knowledge**
-  * **Reflection** - **comparison** of ways problem has been approached between learners or learners and expert
-  * **Exploration** - **students** are encouraged to try to **solve a problem by themselves**
