Baby Girl: A Conceptual Analysis

Improved Essays
In order to explain my beliefs’ on education and how these ideas influence my practice I am going to use and hypothetical baby girl who I named Rose. The reason for doing so is that I do believe like Rousseau education starts at birth. As you know there are two form of education; informal and formal. While informal education starts very beginning at birth in the family, formal education starts with the school enrollment approximately at the age of 5 if a child is attending a kindergarten, if a preschool it can be early as 2-3 years old.
I used a female child contrast to Rousseau ideas about education of the women, because if I educated a woman I will be education a family, unlike to education only a man. Look into your life, who teach informally

Instead of using a gibberish baby talk; I would use the language properly, while interacting with Rose. Since I am aware that the voices I produce which called phoneme is the key element of the language then I make sure to teach semantic of the words. As Saussure claims the development of the vocal organs is the first step, then the child starts speaking. Before I influence by the ideas of the Saussure I was thinking the language acquisition occurs in a sequence but then I have realize that there is a structure, first Rose’s vocal organs will improve and then she will produce voices. When we look this process with a Saussure’s lens, we will realize that structure of the language acquisition. The input I am providing little Rose is the words and she is receiving all this words and create sign for each words then she produce them. While I am teaching to language using the pictures or the itself of the objects will be easy for Rose to make sense and create an correlation word and the …show more content…
For this reason, as a teacher I adopt some part of Piaget’s theory, I would create an environment for the students that according to their readiness level or their previous experience then let them to explore new schemes. Another thing that I will offer to students would be a play and hands on activity based environment. Since children work is play, Piaget (1929) also used play to support his ideas about how children develop new schemes. I am agree with that during the play children are reaching another level and it is not only beneficial for their cognitive skills but also social skills that is the moment I recall ideas of Vygotsky that why will continue right after

    On a superficial level, the root of the problem is the drive to compete and the drive to compare oneself to others. A political solution for this “compare and compete” problem can be theorized. The first potential solution that comes to mind is to find a way to equal the playing field until there becomes no need for comparison with others because we are all equal, and through this equality brings the end of competition, for what is achievable by one, is achievable by all. One way to accomplish this would be for the political power (i.e. the government) at hand to invent a means that impeded on any one individual’s advantage in society, whether it be intelligence, beauty, creativity, etc.. In Kurt Vonnegut’s short story, “Harrison Bergeron”,…

    Constructive pedagogical practices are considered to encourage an effective classroom, where teachers and students work together to achieve their learning goals. Constructivism theory is basically depending on observation and scientific study of learning patterns of learners. Piaget’s cognitive and Vygotsky’s social constructivism are two dominant types of constructivism in the classroom. Both theories suggest useful teaching methods and learner-directed concepts based on purposeful and relevant knowledge, such as encouraging students to use effective strategies i.e. experiments, real-world problem solving, reflection and discussion about their learning experience and assess their understanding. The constructivist teachers ensure they understand…

    Mary Shelley’s characters obtain their education in a fashion like the principles of Jean-Jacque Rousseau in his book Emile.

Mary Shelley’s character Elizabeth also mirrors Rousseau's principles of education for women, producing an explanation for the anticipation of Elizabeth as Victor’s bride. Rousseau argues that the young children should spend time in nature, not learning verbal or moral instruction, but instead learning to develop senses and physical qualities.…

    From 1759 to 1797, she was a moral and political philosopher whose analysis of the condition of women in modern society retains much of its original radicalism. One of the reasons her pronouncements on the subject remain challenging is that her reflections on the status of the female sex were part of an attempt to come to a comprehensive understanding of human relations within a civilization increasingly governed by acquisitiveness and consumption. Her first publication was on the education of daughters. Where she went on to write about politics, history and various aspects of philosophy in a number of different genres that included critical reviews, translations, pamphlets, and novels.

    Ideally, an educator seeks the best teaching method for his or her students; however, the debate remains, what theory is universal for teachers to use? The solution is not singular, for several theories offer exceptional suggestions on how to apply certain material that best suits the development of students. Such suggestions may come from the theories of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Despite their differing views in cognitive development, both have contributed to the improvement of teaching methods and as a future educator, I plan to use both elements as resources to my teaching methods. Lev Vygotsky introduced what is known as Social Development Theory.…

Piaget stood on the nature side of the fence while Vygotsky was more of a nuturer.…

    “to learn a thing in life through doing is much more developing, cultivating, and strengthening than to learn it merely through the verbal communication of ideas”-The Education of Man (1826), this is the belief in which both Maria Montessori and Friedrich Froebel live by, within their approach on how to educate children.
