CYP Core 3.1 unit 2.3 Explain how theories of development and frameworks to support development influence current practice. Theories of development are very important as they influence current practice and help us to understand why children behave and react the way that they do. It can also help us to figure out different and new ways of learning. The theories of development are: * Cognitive ( e.g. Paiget) * Psychoanalytic (e.g.
Considering the work of key pioneers and current experts with links to child development theory. There are many theories about how children learn and develop. This area of study is called developmental psychology which covers subjects such as cognitive, language and emotional development. The research methods are based heavily on the on going assessments carried out by observing children over a period of time. Assessment is part of the process of understanding what children know, understand and can do so that future teaching steps can be appropriately planned.
Children initially rely on reflexes, eventually modifying them to adapt to their world. Behaviors become goal directed, progressing from concrete to abstract goals. Objects and events can be mentally represented by the child. | Preoperational Stage(2-7 years) | This stage of development allows a child to increase his/her mental representation of objects, generally through make-believe play. Piaget states that language is the most flexible means of mental representation, but that children do not yet have the capability to solely use language as a means of representation.
* How much language the child knows is determined by the amount and quality of language s/he is exposed to. | Similarities: * The child’s environment and their interaction with others plays a large part in language development. * Developing grammar and is seen as a part of language development. | Similarities: * Both theories are based on what the child produces – words and sounds. * Both theories explain how language is developed from birth * Grammar is included in both definitions.
However, teachers do need to indentify the specific disabilities and these are categorised in terms of general areas of development as follows; physical, cognitive, motor, social, language, behavioural and emotional development. Special needs also apply to gifted children who in many cases are not categorised as (SEN) however; they need adapted teaching to challenge their abilities and to foster their potential development. Therefore, this paper will also look at gifted children throughout the concepts and theories. Piaget's theory of cognitive development in essence deals with the view that all species inherit two basic tendencies; the first is organisation – organising behaviours and thoughts into logical systems. The second is adaptation – adjusting to your environment (Woolfolk, Hughes & Walkup, 2008).
CYP core 3.1 LO 2.3 Explain how theories of development and frameworks to support development influence current practice. We have different types of theories of development to monitor a child's development process. It can help recognise any problems that arise whether it is physical, social, language, emotional or intellectual development. It also shows reasons to children’s behaviour and how not only internal, but external factors can affect development. Theories of development.

Cognition encompasses perception, imagination, judgment, memory, and language - the processes people use to think, decide, and learn. Education - not only the formal curriculum in schools but also informal learning - is part of this domain as well." (Berger, pg.12) Piaget considers adaptation the "essence of intelligence". (Berger, pg. 165) Learning is an active process which leads to the creation of schemas.
The bulk of these theories did not reflect the true experiences encountered by individuals with disabilities, as suggested by Parker & Szymanski: “…almost no systemic attention was paid to conceptualizing the career development of persons with disabilities until the middle 1960s” (2003, p. 92). At this early stage of career development theory, most theories reflected on the middle-class, White males of that era and did not address the unique circumstances faced by people with disabilities and minorities. Frank Parsons is credited with the development of the first career development theory known as trait-and-factory theory (1909). Parsons’ theory suggests that career choice is a one-time event consisting of the following three-step process: “(a) gaining information about the person, (b) gaining information about the world of work, and (c) matching these two to arrive at an appropriate occupation for that person (Parker & Szymanski, 2003, p. 92). Believing that career planning/development is a continuous lifetime process, Krumboltz rejected the trait-and-factor theory and instead developed the Social Learning Theory of Career Decision Making, which
In processing-information approach, children have their own basic process and capacities, recognition and recall, forming and retaining childhood memories. Factor of intelligence is affecting the strength of children’s early cognition. Based on the requirement of Human Development Psychology, our group observed
