Editing Cognitive Load Theory (section)

Cognitive Load Theory helps learning designers understand the cognitive load and reduce the unnecessary load that limits learning efficacy. One such strategy to achieve this includes [[chunking]] information. 

Secondly, promoting germane cognitive load, can facilitate schema construction, which can be considered a major focus in learning design (Sweller, 1998). In K 12 classrooms, the instructor should create an inclusive and supportive learning environment to reduce extraneous load and promote germane load through teaching strategies, [[metacognition | metacognitive strategies ]] scaffolding, and visual aids.
