Youth and adulthood are two unique yet similar vital circumstances in our lives. Youth is the timeframe when we are yet grown up. Adulthood is the time in our life when we are grown up, however, we may be created as individuals. All through the world, the start of adulthood is generally esteemed to happen at a specific age, for example, 18 or 21 years of age. In any case, it can be contended that we progress toward becoming grown-ups when we end up noticeably autonomous, in charge of our own…

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. Influences The…

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. One thing that changed in the child’s life is that the father is seeing his child more. Before, he would see him on weekends, but now he sees his son all the time. Not a lot of the child’s fine and gross motor…

Does Turkish Early Childhood Education Program Appropriate for Anti-Bias Education? The early childhood education is the most precious time in the life of an individual. It does not only meet the developmental needs of a young child, but also offers an environment that child becomes socialized with his/her peers, who have different and diverse background than each other; considering the fact that most of the classrooms are in Turkey grow into a diverse background in recent years (Milli Egitim…

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…

“The true direction of the development of thinking is not from the individual to the social, but from the social to the individual” (Vygotsky, n.d.) Within Vygotsky's sociocultural theory he believed that the two most important concepts were zone of proximal development and scaffolding. Between these two concepts the child will gain knowledge from someone with more experience and education. Using the Sociocultural theory I will explain how zone of proximal development and scaffolding shaped my…

Piaget Sensorimotor stage First stage of cognitive development in which schemes are based on perception. This stage begins at birth. Children can only focus on things that are right in front of them. Simple reflexes are an example of an involuntary action that happens without much thought process. 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…
