Q

What does Jean Piaget say about children’s curiosity?

A

Children are curious by nature and are actively involved in their own learning process. The important skill they need to develop is to organize their experiences and learn from them

Q

Explain the first step of Jean Piaget’s learning theory

A

Q

Explain the second step of Jean Piaget’s learning theory

A

Adaptation: The organization of senses and experiences. The quality of the environment and the nature of the experiences themselves play a significant role in the development of children’s intelligence

Q

Explain the third step of Jean Piaget’s learning theory

A

Assimilation: Taking in and understanding of new information. How much a child can assimilate depends on their level of understanding. New information must be connected with the child’s prior knowledge. Children use existing experiences to understand new ones

Q

Explain the fourth step of Jean Piaget’s learning theory

Q

What’s an example of accommodation in the schema?

A

A child who’s always been given juice in a green plastic cup would assume all contain juice. Offer the child water in the same cup, the child would realize not all green plastic cups contain juice

Q

Explain the final step of Jean Piaget’s learning theory

A

Equilibrium: the balance between assimilation and accommodation. It happens when all pieces of information fit in the child’s schemas. Disequilibrium is when the pieces do not add up. A child abandons an old idea, that no longer fits, for a new one

Q

Q

Name the typical behavior in the second stage of the sensorimotor period?

A

Primary circular reactions: They begin to gain voluntary control over their actions. By repeating chance behaviors largely motivated by basic needs. They also accomplish simple motor habits centered around their own body (sucking fists or thumbs)

Q

Name the typical behavior in the fifth stage of the sensorimotor period?

A

Tertiary circular reaction: exploration of the properties of object acting on them in novel (a new kind) ways. They try to find new ways of using familiar objects, as well as have an advance understanding of object permanence

23
Q

What is an example of the fifth stage in the sensorimotor stage?

A

Toddler looks in several locations to find the hidden toy

24
Q

Name the typical behavior in the final stage of the sensorimotor period?

A
  • Begin to develop mental pictures of familiar objects, people and actions
  • Can start working out problems and pursuing ideas in their head
  • May experiment on objects in their minds, predicting what would happen if they do something to an object, then transforming their plans to action
  • Develops the ability to recall and copy another person’s behavior
25
Q

State what happens in the preoperational stage (2 years to 7 years)

A
  • Employs symbolic representation
  • Egocentric
  • Rely on perception rather than logic
26
Q

How do you know when symbolic representation is evident?

A

When children use words, make-believe play, imitation and drawing or sculpting to represent something

27
Q

State what happens in the concrete operational stage (7 years to 11 years)

A

A major turning point in cognitive development. They develop the ability to comprehend and formulate ideas, beginning to think logically. They begin to understand conservation, classification, seriation and spatial reasoning

28
Q

State what happens in the formal operational stage (12 years and above)

A
  • Able to use complex thinking skills to visualize and manipulate ideas and experiences without having access to real objects
  • Able to think logically, weigh consequences and use memory and abstract thinking for problem solving
29
Q

What are important child developmental stages?

A
  • Object permanence
  • Irreversibility: Learning that actions and thinking are irreversible
  • Egocentrism
  • Symbolic thought
  • Conservation
30
Q

What is seriation?

A

In ascending or descending order; lightest to darkest, smallest to biggest

31
Q

What is Lev Vygotsky’s ZPD?

A

Zone of Proximal Development. Assisted and independent learning are key terms

32
Q

What is scaffolding?

A

The assisting based on the child’s need and current cognitive level

33
Q

Give an example of positive and negative reinforcement

A

Example: Rats are taught to push a lever
Positive reinforcement - A rat was awarded food when it pressed the lever
Negative reinforcement - A rat turns off electric shocks produced when pressing the lever

Other examples, detention and rewards / colored pencils

34
Q

What does the humanistic theory state?

A

A child is motivated to learn if the learning materials are personally meaningful, and if their environment tends to cause something to their learning. This theory is child centered

35
Q

What are the stages of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy needs?

A
  • Self actualization
  • Esteem
  • Love / belonging
  • Safety

49

A
  • Microsystem
  • Mesosystem
  • Exosystem
  • Macrosystem
  • Chronosystem
50
Q

Describe the first stage of the ecological theory

A

Microsystem: The one they have direct contact with, such as home, school, daycare or work. Typically includes, family, peers, or caregiver. Reactions to people in the microsystem affect how they treat you in return. The most influential level

51
Q

Describe the second stage of the ecological theory

A

Mesosystem: Interactions between different parts of a person’s microsystem. Where a person’s individual microsystems do not function independently, but are interconnected and influence each other. They have an indirect impact on the individual

52
Q

Describe the third stage of the ecological theory

A

Exosystem: A setting that affects the person despite being not being an active participant; this includes decisions that have bearing on them but had no involvement in the decision making process
