Jean piaget's cognitive theory has made a big influence to childhood development. Psychologist believed children were just mini adults but Piaget thought differently, he believed they had their own way of thinking and seeing the world. Jean Piaget, who was born in Neuchatel, Switzerland, earned a doctorate in Biology. When he looked at humans, he looked at us as Biological organisms, who need to adapt to the environment. He also saw us unique with many characteristic. Piaget had a similar theory…

Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory is not like the rest of the theories. The ecological theory is about the influences that could possibly shape the development of a human. According to psychologynoteshq.com it states, “American psychologist, Urie Bronfenbrenner, formulated the Ecological systems theory to explain how the inherent qualities of a child and his environment interact to influence how he will grow and develop.” Bronfenbrenner’s theory has five different influences.

The child that I observed for my second observation was Lissandro. The same child as my last observation. Lissandro is now 44 months old. I observed Lissandro at his home on the 22nd of this month around noon time. How he relates to me is that he is my best friend’s nephew.

Not a lot of the child’s fine and gross motor…

Jean Piaget got what develops in children, right most of the time, but did he get when it develops, right? Piaget was a biologist who was particularly interested in knowledge (epistemology). He viewed intelligence as a mechanism of adaptation and argued that children’s cognitive development is based on the ability to adapt to the environment through accommodation or assimilation processes (Piaget, 1952). Assimilation uses existing schemas to interpret new experiences, while accommodation…

Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory In Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory, the child an socail environment combine to mold cognitive development in culturally adaptive ways. According to Vygotsky, once children become capable of mental representation, especially through language, their ability to participate in social dialouges greatly expands. As adults interact with them while they work on challenging tasks, tasks within their zone of proximal development, children start to converse with…

INTRODUCTION This field study was done on three children who are of different ages and in different stages of their lives. In this paper you will see where each child lands in Piaget’s stages of Cognitive Development during the tasks presented before them. Jean Piaget had four different stages of Cognitive Development; Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational. While giving the tasks to the children in this case study it was clear at which stage or stages each…

As stated by Janneke van de Pol and Monique Volman, and Jos Beishuizen (2010) “a scaffold is a temporary structure erected to help with the building or modification of another structure” (p.271). Although the definition is quite literal it explains the concept, another definition…

During this stage infants learn they can repeat movements over and over, such as bringing their hand to their face and back down repeatedly. Make a sensory board with many items. These items can…

Subsequently, he decided to move into the moral education field. He believed that there are three levels of moral development; each level is divided into two individual stages. His theory was influenced by the thinking of the Swiss psychologist, Piaget; American philosopher, John Dewey; and American philosopher/ psychologist, James Mark Baldwin. These…
