This model was one of the first so-called "information processing" models, or "boxes and arrows" models. And what Broadbent drew on was the idea that information is sent over potentially noisy channels. His ideas grew out of information theory, which modeled mathematically communication on physical devices such as radio transmitters or radar screens. In his influential book Perception and Communication, published in 1958, Broadbent outlined a filter model of attention. It was clear that the then-dominant stimulus-response theories simply had little to offer in the way of solutions. The decline of behaviorism, then, began around the time of World War II.Several critical developments.First, the British psychologist Donald Broadbent was instrumental in terms of this shifting zeitgeist.Broadbent and other experimental psychologists were called on to improve human skills & performance in complex military tasks such as piloting an airplane. Senses -> short-term store -> filter -> limited capacity channel -> long term memory (back to filter) Human informa:on processing - information storage, manipulation, transformation, retrievalĬognitive psychology sees the individual as a processor of information, in much the same way that a computer takes in information and follows a program to produce an output.Ĭognitive psychology compares the human mind to a computer, suggesting that we too are information processors and that it is possible and desirable to study the internal mental / mediational processes that lie between the stimuli (in our environment) and the response we make. Information processing in humans resembles that in computers. The aim of research is to specify the processes and structures that underlie cognitive performance These processing systems transform, or alter the information in systematic ways attention, perception, short-term memory)

Information made available from the environment is processed by a series of processing systems (e.g. There is no doubt that Polymaths are the best.The information processing approach is based on a number of assumptions, including: Polymath International School believes that there is no contradiction between learning and fun joy and pursuit of excellence global and local & respecting traditions and embracing change. While appreciating the fact that all schools encourage students to learn and be thorough in different subject areas, Polymath International School concentrates more on the school motto ‘Vivere Disce – Learn to Live’ and provide opportunities for Polymaths to move in that direction.Īt a time of increasing global challenges and threats, such as inequality, exclusion, violence and sectarianism aggravated by local tensions and conflicts which undermine people’s cohesion, more than being thorough in subject matter, learning to live together among all members of the global community becomes more meaningful than ever before as envisioned by UNESCO.
The school curriculum is oriented that Polymaths embody self-confidence and think out of the box. We endeavor to help Polymaths to see mistakes not as failures, but as an essential part of their learning. It is the responsibility of the staff to understand the needs of all Polymaths and we believe in praise, encouragement, enthusiasm, inspiration, motivation and affection rather than criticism, fear, condemnation and punishment.
We are acutely aware that students are different to one another and are capable of learning. Having realized that satisfaction is one of the key elements for success, Polymath International School maintains the highest standard for all Polymaths and its staff members to enter and leave the school premises happily.
All Polymaths follow a curriculum that encourages them to explore, question, experience, discuss and learn from our qualified, dedicated, dynamic and committed staff. Our commitment at “POLYMATH” is to provide a challenging educational program for all Polymaths within a safe, nurturing environment which will enable them to function as positive, productive, ethical, confident, effective, innovative, responsible and disciplined global citizens with very high moral values, character, skills and creativity.Īt Polymath International School, each Polymath is considered an asset and we take care of each individual.
