Early Childhood Special Education Flashcards
Study for WEST-E Early Childhood Special Education
Practice Theory
Play serves to strengthen instincts needed for the future purpose
Help in practicing survival skills
Psychoanalytical Theory
Play allows children to suspend realities and switch roles from being the passive recipient of a bad experience to being one who gives out the experience
Paradoxical Theory
When children are playing they learn to operate simultaneously on two levels:
- First level: They are engrossed in their pretend roles and focus on the make believe meaning of objects and actions
- Second level: the reality of their own existence
Arousal Modulation
Play is caused by a need or drive in our central nervous system to keep arousal at optimal level
Cognitive Theory
Series of different stages during which thought process becomes similar to adults.
Children interact and construct new meanings of thought through their playing in the environment
Recreational Theory
Restore energy expended in work, energy can be regenerated by sleeping or engaging in activity which is very different from the work that caused the energy deficit.
Recapitulation Theory
Children re-enact the development stages of the human race in play (helps children rid themselves of primitive instincts that are no longer needed in modern life.
Constructive Play
When children have a specific objective, goal or purpose.
Children are involved with the intention of completing a project
Functional Play
When children use repetitive muscle movements with or without objects (running and jumping, manipulating objects)
Psychoanalytical Theory of Play
After being spanked by a parent, a child might spank a doll or pretend to punish a playmate. By reversing roles and being an active party, a child is able to transfer negative feelings to a substitute object or person.
Cognitive Theory
When children begin to engage in make believe play and use objects, meaning begins to become separated from objects. The substituted object, the stick, serves as a pivot for separating the meaning “horse” from the horse itself. As a result, children are able to think about meanings independently of the objects they represent.
Smilanksy Theory of Play Development
Includes functional play, constructive play, sociodramatic play and games with rules.
She also studied young children’s sociodramatic play in the Middle East and found that children from lower SES who engaged in sociodramatic play performed better on cognitive and language tests than children who did not engage in sociodramatic play from lower SES.
Froebel
Founder of the Kindergarten movement
Believed children learn through play and games
Parten’s Developmental Stages of Play
Solitary Play
Parallel Play
Associated Play
Cooperative Play
These are stages that provide insight to teachers in how the child is participating and what he is most likely utilizing in their play and learning.
Freud
Father of the psychoanalytical theory
Believed play could be cathartic for children in working out early childhood problems.
