The type of play that is found in early childhood are things that use their hands, and minds. Using games/toys helps kids interact with other kids to create a social environment and comfort. Play also helps children learn in many ways (Myers 2012). You usually find kids playing with blocks, building things, and games that use their imagination (Guyton 2011, p. 52). Rattle your Brain uses their hands, ears and minds so they can increase those senses in their development.
FATIMA AHMED CYPOP 7 1.1 Analyse the differences between creative learning and creativity. Creativity and creative learning are two different things, the differences are that creativity looks at children using means of expressing themselves such as art, music, modelling, role play and dance. It looks at enjoying what you’re doing more than being perfect at it. On the other hand creative learning is about helping children to develop skills in problem solving and imaginative thinking. 1.2 Explain current theoretical approaches to creativity and creative learning in early childhood.
Piaget's Theory According to Piaget, children in the earliest stages of life, from birth to 2 years, exist in a sensory-motor stage, where they learn to move and operate their bodies as well as begin to understand simple symbols. In this early stage, children are curious about their environment and begin to learn how to interpret it in sensible ways. The next stage is called preoperational thought and lasts from the ages of 2 until 7. In this stage, children develop stable concepts, mental reasoning and imagination. What is distinct and important about Piaget's views is that he considered imagination and play to be crucial to enable every child to develop his own sense of self and to foster healthy learning habits.
Principal Psychological Perspectives and Understanding Individual Development P1- Explain the principal psychological perspectives applied to the understanding of the development of individuals Cognitive Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision-making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Theories: * According to psychologist Jean Piaget, children progress through a series of four key stages of cognitive development. Each stage is marked by shifts in how children understand the world: the Sensorimotor Stage, from birth to age 2; the Preoperational Stage, from age 2 to about age 7; the Concrete Operational Stage, from age 7 to 11; and the Formal Operational Stage, which begins in adolescence and spans into adulthood. Cognitive Stage | | Sensorimotor Stage(Birth-2 years) | During the sensorimotor stage infants learn mostly through trial and error learning. Children initially rely on reflexes, eventually modifying them to adapt to their world.
While Piaget’s cognitive theory consists of four stages (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational) that children go through as they grow, McCrink and Wynn proposed a different theory of cognitive development. They developed a deeper theory suggesting that children are able to understand object permanence at an earlier age, 5-6 months, because they are able to track objects, or at least a very small limited amount at a time (McCrink & Wynn, 2004). This is because infants can remember and file objects in memory of the few objects that exist before them. In addition to object permanence, they can also discern when objects are added or subtracted before them not because
Unit 82 promote creativity and creative learning in young children 1. Understand the concepts of creativity and creative learning and how these affect all aspects of young children’s learning and development. 1.1. Analyse the differences between creative learning and creativity. Creative learning is about helping children develop imaginative thinking through an exploration of materials, objects and problem-solving skills, such as construction and ICT and crafts.
b) Each group of bilingual and monolingual learners had to look at screens in anticipation of visual stimulations with puppets associated with sound cues with the image. c) The bilingual babies beat the monolingual babies even when the sound cues changed from nonsense syllable combinations to a structured sound cue and then a visual cue. d) The bilingual babies have an advantage in thinking that involved in so-called executive function which helps regulate abilities such as being able to start and stop activities. e) Early bilingual exposure could train the mind in a more general sense rather than just a language –specified sense as some researchers had suggested. f) According to Mehler since the bilingual babies don’t know how to speak yet, no one can attribute the knowledge of two languages to them.
How play encourages a child’s development Play encourages a child’s development because it enables children to develop their language skills, social skills, physical-coordination, emotional maturity and exploration skills From birth-three, play encourages self-reliance and helps with problem solving learning about the physical world and how it works around them. From age’s three-eight children learn by using imaginary skills such as playing with materials and practising language. Play is vital for children’s development because it helps to build... Language skills helping them to interact with not only themselves but other children/adults. From birth to three children will more use gestures and toy with words to communicate and as they
Children answer ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions about their experience and in response to stories or events. Speaking; Children express themselves effectively, showing awareness of listeners needs. Children use past, present and future forms accurately when talking about events that have happened or are happening in the future. Children develop their own narratives and explanations by connecting ideas or events. Physical development Moving and Handling; Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements.
EYMP 5 1.2 Explain how speech,language and communication skills support each of the following areas in childrens development:learning,emotional,behaviour,social Learning – Language is needed to understand concepts, participate in problem solving, and to develop ideas and opinions. Language enables a child to express their thoughts and feelings, and to think about abstract notions helping them to make sense of their world. •Emotional – Children need to be able to express themselves, if they have difficulty doing this it can have a damaging impact on their self esteem and identity. This can lead to a lack of confidence. Expressing their emotions and talking about them can help children to understand acceptable social behaviour.
