A survey of cognitive information processing theory;
According to cognitive information processing theory, career development depends on how a person makes career decisions and how to use information in the process of career problem solving and career decision-making.
199 1 Gary Peterson, James sampson and Robert Rearden co-authored the book "Career Development and Service: A Cognitive Approach", and expounded this cognitive information processing method (CIP for short).
Theoretical hypothesis of cognitive information processing;
Career choice is based on the interaction of cognition and emotion.
Choosing a career is a problem-solving activity.
The ability of professional problem solvers depends on knowledge and cognitive operation.
Solving career problems is a task with heavy memory burden.
Career decision-making needs motivation.
Career development includes the continuous development and change of knowledge structure.
Professional identity depends on self-knowledge.
Career maturity depends on a person's ability to solve career problems.
The ultimate goal of career counseling is to promote the development of visitors' information processing skills.
The ultimate goal of career counseling is to improve the ability of visitors as career problem solvers and decision makers.
The core of cognitive information processing theory;
(1) information processing pyramid model
This theory regards the process of career development and consultation as the process of learning information processing ability. According to the characteristics of information processing, the proponent of this theory constructed an information processing pyramid. The field of the tower bottom is the field of knowledge, including self-knowledge and professional knowledge.
The intermediate field is the decision-making field, which includes five stages: communication, analysis, synthesis, evaluation and implementation. The top domain is the executive domain, also known as metacognition. Metacognition is the knowledge about one's own thinking and learning activities and the control over them. It is any cognitive activity that regulates cognitive process, that is, any knowledge that takes cognitive process and result as the object.
(2) Kraft cycle
According to this theory, knowledge field is equivalent to computer data file, which needs us to store. The decision-making field is computer program software, which allows us to process stored information. The execution domain is equivalent to the work control function of the computer, which controls the computer to execute the program according to the instructions. Decision-making skills can be obtained by learning the five-stage cycle model.
