Article Five Platz, D., & Arellano, J. (2011). TIME TESTED EARLY CHILDHOOD THEORIES AND PRACTICES. Education, 132(1), 54-63. Donald Platz showed how John Dewey’s theory still impacted early childhood development and education today.

physical education class, and study hall, which is likely held in the library, it could be possible to have less chairs or workplaces across all classrooms within the school. While I expected to read an article debating and presenting arguments for and against the requirement of a chair for every student using a microinterpretation approach, I found that the researcher turned the paper into a macrointerpretation analysis focused on concerns related to the theory and practice of primary…

Functionalism and Education The functionalist perspective is a sociological viewpoint that examines how social order is possible and examines how societies remain relatively stable. It is referred to as a macro-sociological perspective as it is concerned with society as a whole and less concerned with individualism.

Health Education: From Theory to Practice Oxygen is one of the most essential and vital requirements for human existence. Other basic components for survival such as eating, drinking, and sleeping are crucial, but without the breath of life and the simple act of inspiration, which fills our lungs and blood with oxygen, nothing becomes more basic and necessary for life.

do understand some of Montessri’s theories because Montessori and Maslow are very similar in their thinking strategies. For example, Maslow and Montessori both defined education, Maslow said this “More positively oriented education concerns itself more with the growth and future self-actualization of the child”(1954, Maslow pg.365) while this definition may seem a bit unorganized he is trying to say that children in school should be taught through positive education so that the child can have…

This familiar saying, which may trace its roots back to the Latin phrase tempus fugit or “time flies,” was first written by the author Virgil (70-19 B.C.) (ESC, 2000).
