Study of Epistemological Foundations of Pre-Organizer Teaching Method in Teaching-Learning Strategies

The purpose of this study is to investigate the epistemological foundations of the pre-organizing teaching method in order to determine the position of these bases in the theoretical and practical fields. The research method is descriptive-analytic and it is kind of qualitative and attributive. Research data derived from multiple sources, articles, dissertations and research projects using text analysis techniques. The results of the study showed that organized cognition is hierarchical, personal, unique, subjective and relative. The set of factors of rationality and emotional affairs are effective in the formation of cognition. It is, therefore, close to the standpoint of existentialism philosophers. The teacher constantly uses the deductive method during the learning and development of knowledge. The characteristics of the learner's prior knowledge as a starting point for the teaching process are constancy, clarity and incremental capability. Also, the method of acquiring knowledge in this pattern is through direct and sensory experiences.
