q2 · i1 · design · r2
Relative frequency analysis across the three educational levels (Tables 2 and 3). Cognitivism was rated "the second learning theory" in Senior High school textbooks and, per the tables, held second place at Junior High (23.8%) and Pre-University (28.6%) as well.
"Cognitivism with the relative frequency of 21.2% is again rated as the second learning theory in these textbooks"
