Brief introduction of cognitive information processing theory;
In the field of career planning, there is a model to deal with the information involved in the planning process, which is called cognitive information processing theory, or CIP theory for short.
CIP theory has an important tool for processing information, which is called information processing pyramid model. The external structure of the pyramid is divided into three layers, namely, knowledge field, decision field and execution management from bottom to top. The pyramid has four areas: self-knowledge and professional knowledge, causal cycle and metacognition.
The first level of knowledge is to obtain information: self-knowledge is mainly obtained through self-evaluation and self-analysis; Professional knowledge is acquired by exploring the professional world. The following points are particularly important:
Understanding of some career planning concepts such as interest, skills and values.
Specific expertise, such as correct accounting knowledge.
Knowledge of the structural relationship between occupations (category knowledge and hierarchical knowledge), such as accounting and sales, are two different occupations; Although accounting and cashier belong to the same direction of financial management, their specific job responsibilities are different.
