Metáforas y Analogías
Las metáforas y analogías pueden apoyar a los estudiantes al ayudarles a formar conexiones y a notar patrones y similitudes que promueven el aprendizaje, el autoconcepto y el pensamiento de orden superior. Al organizar la información y hacer comparaciones con dominios más familiares, las metáforas y analogías proporcionan un marco para pensar sobre la información disciplinaria, conceptos más complejos como problemas de salud y sociales, así como conceptos abstractos como la inteligencia. Las metáforas pueden transformar la manera habitual de pensar o de ver las cosas, apoyando así la Flexibilidad Cognitiva.
