Introduction
The purpose of this assignment is to explain four major developmental theories, and how teachers are practically applying these four major theories in real world teaching. Theories explain behavior, as well as predict behavior that can be tested and observed.
Cognitive development Piaget's theory of cognitive development is a comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. Piaget believed that one's childhood plays a vital and active role in a person's development. There are four stages of cognitive development, those are sensory motor (birth -2yrs) in this stage children differentiate self from objects, pre-operational stage (2-7 yrs old) in this stage they learn to use language and to represent …show more content…
1). There are three main stages that they are in school. Those are preschool level, elementary level, and high school level. In preschool level they begins to make choices and express their will, they develop a sense of autonomy and independence. In this stage Erikson believes that the child may develops a sense of doubt and shame manifested of worthless and incompetence. Allow the child to express their imagination, such as playing with simple materials, roleplaying , as there is very little that can be done imag. For example, amatch box can become a car or an aircraft, but a readymade car cannot become anything other than what it is . it can only be manipulated, introduce stories and songs that stimulate the imagination. Let them do real-life activities like serving food , chopping vegetables, making tea, let them pretend their selves. Give them Child-directed activities where the child chooses her activity and repeats it as often as she wants must be encouraged. This again is an opportunity for the child to show initiative and take …show more content…
There are many practical applications that can be made from piglet’s theory. By using these in our teaching, we can hopefully teach our students in a way that will help them be the most effective learners. Teaching Erikson’s theory at the different grade levels is important to ensure that students will attain mastery of each stage in Erikson's theory without conflict. Moral learning in classrooms does not only occur through formal curriculum or extra-curricular programming. The “hidden curriculum” of schooling, consists of (often unexa-mined) norms and policies that collectively give form and meaning to a wide range of behaviors. Teachers must be mindful of the rules, procedures, and norms they establish in their classroom, and they must be mindful of how they go about following them. When possible, students should be included in the process of establishing the governance structures and disciplinary procedures of their school and classroom communities; they should be given a voice in the process and on-going responsibility for ensuring that the place in which they live and learn is fair, just, and
