What are schemas?
|
Building blocks of knowledge - When a child's existing schemas are capable of explaining what it can perceive around it, it is said to be in a state of equilibrium.
|
|
|
Piaget's stages of cognitive development.
|
Children develop schemas to explain the world around them. When something runs counter to their understanding, they are in a state of assimiliation, then accommodation.
|
|
|
The four stages of Piaget's theory
|
Sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, formal operational

Manipulate ideas in head (abstract thinking)
|
|
|
Discovery Learning
|
The idea that children learn best through doing and actively exploring
|
|
|
Jerome Bruner said the aim of education should be...
|
to create autonomous learners (learning to learn) - developing symbolic thinking in children
|
|
|
Jerome Bruner proposed three modes of representation to store knowledge
|
enactive (action-based), iconic (image-based), symbolic (language-based)
|
|
|
Bruner's constructivist theory suggests...
|
When introducing new material, it is effective to follow a progression from enactive to iconic to symbolic - A learner is capable of learning any material so long as the instruction is organized appropriately.
|
|
|
Bruner - spiral curriculum
|
Information structured so that complex ideas can be taught at a simplified level first, and then revisited at more complex levels later on
|
|
|
Scaffolding
|
helpful, structured interaction between an adult and a child with the aim or helping the child achieve a specific goal
