Q

Jean Piaget: Cognitive Development.

A

Piaget argued that children’s cognitive development occurs in stages. Specifically, he posited that as children’s thinking develops from one stage to the next, their behavior also changes, reflecting these cognitive developments.

Q

Organization

A
  • People are born with the ability of organize thinking into structures that provide our understanding an interacting with the world. - Piaget called these structure schemes, he believed these were building blocks of thinking.

Q

Adaptation

Q

Equilibrium

A
  • Piaget believed in equilibration, the process of searching for a balance between organizing, assimilating, and accommodating.
  • if we apply a scheme to a situation and it works, we have equilibrium.

38
Q

Limitations of Piaget’s theory?

A

A

Cerebral cortex

40
Q

limbic system

A

The limbic system develops earlier than the prefrontal lobe

41
Q

Schemes

A

Piaget said that the basic blocks of thinking and memory that permit us to represent objects and events in the world are schemes.

42
Q

Vygotzky’s sociocultural theory:

A
  • The role of development of cooperative dialogues between children and more knowledgeable embers of society (parents and teachers)
  • Children learn the culture of their community through interactions.
43
Q

Vigotsky’d sociocultural perspective, Cultural tools an cognitive development:

A

Cultural tools

- psychological (language & symbols)

44
Q

Vygotsky believe?

A

He believed that cultural tools aid in cognitive development

45
Q

Sociocultural perspective - Role of language and private speech:

Language language is central to sociocultural theory, because is the primary means of info transmission between teacher and student.

46
Q

Private speech guides development:

A
  • a form of self regulation (eg. playing with others and having conversation with others, or talking to yourself in your head)
47
Q

Vygotsky’s sociocultural perspective - the social sources of individual thinking:

A
  • Human activities take place in social settings and cannot be understood apart from those settings.
  • social interactions create our cognitive structures and thinking processes.
48
Q

Vygotsky’s sociocultural perspective: zone of proximal development.

A

Area where the child cannot solve a problem alone, but can be successful under adult guidance or in collaboration with a more advanced peer. (Eg. teacher to a student)

49
Q

Types of scaffolding

A
  • Use visual aids like in math 2 + 2 = 4 but two strawberries plus two more equals four strawberries.
  • give times in between to discuss or ask questions and review.
50
Q

Limitations of Vygotsky’s theory:

A

He view overemphasized the role of social interaction, because he died young he was not able to develop and elaborate on his theories.

51
Q

Piaget: what can we learn?

A
  • education should understand “form not furnish” students’ minds.
  • teachers should understand the “problem of the match”: students should neither be bored by simple work or left behind by more challenging work.
  • Piaget believed that people construct their own understanding and that learning is a constructive process.
  • Piaget might agree that “play is children’s work.” play provides stimulation at every stage.
52
Q

Vygotsky: what can we learn?

A
  • Vygotsky believed education should help people to develop higher mental functions, not fill students’ minds with facts.
  • through imitative learning, instructed learning, and collaborative learning, learning is developed through cultural tools and passed from one individual to another.
  • Vygotsky believed older peers and adults assist a child discover cognitive attributes. Teachers are agents in guided participation in the learning process through adapting materials or problems to students’ levels.
53
Q

Tools of the Mind

A

Vygotsky promoted the idea of scaffolding learning and assisted learning.

54
Q

What did Vygotsky and Piaget agreed with?

A

Teachers must find the “magic middle” in teaching where students are neither bored or frustrated.

55
Q

Bronfenbrebber: The social context for Development

85
Q

Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of Intelligence:

A means for Understanding underlying concepts or meanings.

Approach to support students with learning problems as early as possible, not waiting for years to assess, identify, and plan a program.
