Development

In this paper I will be exploring Piaget’s theory of cognitive development within the classroom setting. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget, theorized that, “our thinking processes change radically, though slowly, from birth to maturity because we constantly strive to make sense of the world” (Woolfolk, Winne, & Perry, 2015, p. 37). For this reason, each interaction and experience has an impact on development in early childhood. Additionally, there are three basic components to his cognitive theory…

However, the notion of stages in development is not unique to Piaget. A great deal of representations of development use stages to unify significant times in one’s life to reflect upon. The psychologists that used these models were Gesell, Freud and Erikson. Piaget differed in a sense that the notion of the stages is closely…

psychologist and psychoanalyst, Erik Erikson, broke down development into nine stages. Erikson described this proposal as, “anything that grows has a ground up plan, and out of this parts arise” (1980). The exploration of how situations influence our outcomes through life’s stages. How events in life impact our emotions as the brain develops from infancy to adulthood. The question arises if different individual paths shape this development. Erikson’s own personal experiences in life has played…

Jean Piaget was a theorist who believed children progressed through stages of cognitive development. He believed children learned in an organizing way and as they grow they reach new levels. Based on his study and observing his own children he believed infants from birth to the age of 2 obtained knowledge at the sensorimotor stage. Have you ever played a game of peek-a-boo with an infant and was amazed when they were able to mimic your actions? Or have you clapped your hands and watched with…

September 16, 1980. Piaget was the oldest child of Arthur Piaget. He is famous for his learning theories based on different stages in the development of children's intelligence. Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematic study of cognitive development. He developed a deeper interest in psychoanalysis.

how one grows and matures. Just how does such development come to be? As people grow, there are a plethora of factors that affect their development. Some would argue that certain personality traits are innate, or that perhaps we are molded by the environments in which we grow, but most would be inclined to agree that many traits are learned from those around us. We as people are social creatures, so it makes sense that an individual’s personal development would be affected by those with whom…

Name Instructor Course Date Personal Reflection/ Project Response Essay Recently, I attended a software engineering development course. Indeed, the course was valuable to imparting the desired software engineering skills for aspiring software engineers. Today, software systems continue to evolve in terms of features and supportive tools. Difficulties in managing software development can be attributed to the challenges inherent to planning activities as software features evolve over time.…

Cognitive development can also be referred to as a constructivist theory as it describes that individuals understand their surroundings and experiences by previous information of what they have experienced or done. Adolescents sometimes based their dissimilar experiences on their personal way of understanding and information of those experiences. Piaget’s foundation for condition was a scheme. Piaget believed a scheme is a systematic arrangement of an action or thought. It is a broad concept and…

to the psychology book, cognitive development can be described as the study of how children acquire the ability to learn, think, reason, communicate, and remember. One can observe a great difference between a 3-year-old preschooler’s thinking pattern and a 9-year-old student’s thinking pattern. Each child has a different thinking ability which falls into a stage of Piaget’s theory of stages of development. According to Piaget’s theory of stages of development, the 3-year-old would be in the…

Following the Krathwohl and Developmental Assessment (Griffin, 2014), I believe my current Zone of Proximal Development should be at the “Organizing” stage. At the start of the semester, I identified my ZDP the stage as “Responding”, as I was willing to passively receive information and attended all the learning environment, and while completing assessments following the formal requirements, I was not always engaged in discussion in the tutorials. Luckily, the natural of the very first…
