Abstract

The concept of cognition is central to theories of teaching and learning. However the educational concept of cognition is dominated by simplified metaphors. Four basic metaphors have been identified. They view cognition as material substance, growth potential, social practice, or construction. An integrated and more subtle concept of cognition based on newer American cognitive approaches to teaching and learning is introduced. The concept of cognition in Danish education is analysed and criticized.
