Abstract

Bruner is a famous educational psychologist and cognitive psychologist in the United States. This paper mainly introduces Bruner's cognitive structure learning theory and discovery learning theory. Through the analysis of mathematics teaching cases, this paper discusses how to apply Bruner's learning theory in mathematics teaching. The purpose of mathematics teaching is to enable students to master the knowledge structure of mathematics in a comprehensive way. Mathematics teachers should actively create conditions in teaching, and guide students to discover and learn through hands-on activities, thinking and representation. From passive acquisition of knowledge to active discovery and independent inquiry, students become the main body of mathematics studies.
