Erikson’s theory includes eight stages, which I will state each stage without details. * Stage 1 trust versus Mistrust * Stage 2 Autonomy Versus Shame and Doubt * Stage 3 Initiative Versus Guilt * Stage 4 Industry Versus Inferiority (Child Development Principles and Theories) Piaget's theory of cognitive development described and explained the changes in logical thinking of children and adolescents. Piaget proposed that children proceed through four stages based on maturation and experience. Piaget's theory is guided by assumptions of how learners interact with their environment and how they integrate new knowledge and information into existing knowledge. Briefly, he proposed that: * children are active learners who construct knowledge from their environments * they learn through assimilation and accommodation, and complex cognitive development occurs through equilibration * the interaction with physical and social environments is key for cognitive development * development occurs in stages (Education Portal) Vygotsky's cultural-historical theory focused on the role of culture and
Teachers need direction in order to meet academic proficiencies and to keep student’s interest (Laureate Education, Inc., 2010). After exploring several learning theories and strategies, my own teaching practices are most often modeled by several strategies and learning theories. The Constructivism Theory resonates in some of the techniques I am using in the classroom. Reflecting on student activities and the design my lessons ; I find students are most often engaged in learning activities that are student driven and lead to students constructing their own conclusions. Student often work at stations and learn through team building and planned movement.
The major areas of development include biological, cognitive and social and emotional development. Both of these psychologists were concerned with the study of understanding the area of cognitive development specifically in children and were considered to be constructivists. Constructivism is the theory in which “learners actively construct their own knowledge based upon the things they know now and have known in the past” (TFL resources, 2006). This essay will seek to compare and contrast the theories of psychologists Piaget and Vygotsky and will critically look at their theories to judge which aspects are appropriate for the long term. Jean Piaget focused his research on studying children and observing their thought processes.
Adjusting goals or learning strategies depending on progress -Adjust goals in order to keep progressing or completing task evaluating the final knowledge gained from the learning activity - In order to see how well the activity worked you need to evaluate it 4. What does the author tell us about Promoting Metacognitive and Strategic Development? (List and describe all 5 strategies to earn 4 grade points) Author tells us about promoting metacognitive and strategic development by Engage children in discussions about the mind -by engaging children in discussions about the mind it gives them a chance to build on it earlier in order to develop it for use throughout their life. Model and teach effective cognitive strategies -By modeling and teaching effective cognitive strategies it gives children a template on how use and understand cognitive strategies Expect and encourage increasingly independent learning over time -By encouraging indecent learning it gives a chance to rely on themselves instead of others to learn and complete
(CEC 4.4) • Design instruction to meet student needs. (CEC 4.5) • Select, adapt, create, and use curricular materials. (CEC 7.4) Relevancy of Task to Teacher Candidate Students must be able to implement research-based lesson plans which reflect accommodations and modifications for learners with disabilities.

They are born with an object-tracking system and a numerical system, which allows them to differentiate and keep track of amounts of objects. Piaget believed that after 8 months, an infant has less fragile memory; his theory differs because it involves a certain age when the infant develops this mathematical capability whereas, McCrink and Wynn
5. Identify and define child development principles, theories, and stages. 6. Apply a systems framework to examine the dynamics of the biophysical, affective, social, psychological, cultural, and cognitive domains of child development. Program Competencies Addressed in this Course: The following competencies are addressed in this course: * It is expected that this course will contribute to student competence to analyze and critique the range of social structures and systems such as health, legal, and economic that affect family
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.
Mothers from ethnic minority groups are more likely to stay at home with their children. Interestingly ethnic minority groups do have better outcomes at primary school – showing that they benefit from a positive home learning environment which may alleviate the possible disadvantage of not attending a pre-school/early years setting. The advantage of early years education has been shown to be visible at age 4 – 7 (key stage 1) and pupils who receive early education have higher attainment than those with no early education. Strand’s (1999) study of inner London pupils showed that black pupils with high attainment at age 4 and white pupils from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, all made less than expected progress during Key Stage 1. Indeed at this stage it is
• Assessment activity - to determine this, the method could be assessorled like completing questioning or student-led like gathering evidence of competence. • Assessment discussion and feedback - an explanation to my students, a breakdown of their achievements and feedback. • Reviewing their progress - an overview, update and amend if necessary, until my students have full understand of the lesson. During this process, progress is recorded throughout all aspects of the assessment cycle. 1 UNIT 012 Principles of assessment in lifelong learning Furthermore the assessment could be formal (with constraints and validation of knowledge) or informal (any time by oral questions to know how much learning is taking place) depending on area being assessed.
