    Theories and Theorists From first steps, first words and more all children go through similar stages of development. Many theorists have studied these developmental milestones, and put them into broad stages of development, which many children go through during certain time frames. Jean Piaget, one of the most well known child development theorist, formed the Cognitive Development Theory which has helped educators to understand a child’s cognitive abilities from birth to early adolescence. Jean Piaget disagreed with behavioral theorists who believed that a child’s learning depended on reinforcers. He believed that a child’s learning is active, which was the foundation of his Cognitive Development Theory.…

    Research has been done over the years, that research has helped form many theories. In the case of Pierre and Dina van Hiele, they have both been conducting research since 1950 in the Netherlands to show the hierarchy of levels of thinking spanning the ages of 5 all the way through academic adult years. The first level is “Visualization,” which is the level that “begins with 'nonverbal thinking'. Shapes are judged by their appearance and generally viewed as 'a whole', rather than by distinguishing parts. Although children begin using basic shape names, they usually offer no explanation or associate the shapes with familiar objects.”…

    When an infant is being taken away his favourite toy he will start crying because he thinks it disappes for good as he can’t see it nor touch it anymore. Young infants are characterised by extreme egocentrism as they only see the world through the frame of their own senses, they are therefore not able to form mental representations (schema) of objects. Object permanence can be defined as the ability to understand that even if an object is no longer perceptible, it continues to exist. We can ask ourselves why is this phenomenon important to investigate? It is the step between objects only existing through on going sensory stimulation and the realisation of their existence being constant and not only dependant of the infant’s input upon it.…

    Erik Erikson and Jean Piaget’s theories contrast one another, however they both agree that humans go through different stages through our development. Jean Piaget’s theory, cognitive development, focuses on different stages of a child where they transition from one stage to the other, and they follow a sequence. His stages and key ideas can be looked at as building blocks meaning, a good foundation can build a sturdy tower that will not easily fall down, however if your foundation is not even or has holes as you stack blocks onto it it will become weaker and easily topple over. The first stage of Piaget’s theory is sensorimotor stage,between the ages of infancy to two years. This stage is when children are taught for example if they have…

Schema is a cognitive representation of activities or things (Oakley 2004). For example, when a baby is born it will have an automatic response for sucking in order to ensure that it can feed and therefore grow (Oakley 2004).…

    Within this essay, I will be considering and comparing some key ideas from theories proposed by Jerome Bruner and Jean Piaget. I will explore how these can apply to the learning and teaching of mathematics in schools and how I can relate them to my future career as a primary school teacher. Jean Piaget and Jerome Bruner are theorists that devised ideas that have had an influential effect on the teaching and learning in primary schools and can each be linked to that of Primary Mathematics. Bruner discussed the importance of social interaction as well as three Stages of Representation (Turner S. and Turner L. 2013 pp.104-105). Instructor and Hurst, M. (2003) describes these: the first, Enactive, is when children learn through physical actions…

The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. However, at different years, the mindsets and abilities of children are different.…
