Jean Piaget was a Switzerland born constructivist psychologist who argued that children are constantly creating and participating in understanding the world that they live in (Fiore, 2011). Piaget proposed, then, in order to understand a child’s behavior it is important to understand how children process the information presented in their environment. Moreover, Piaget contends that children have cognitive structures that children use to “organize and adapt” to the world (Fiore, 2011). Thus,…

Social Scientist Essay Jean Piaget was a psychologist who studied theories on childhood development. He was born on August 9th, 1896 in Neuchâtel, Switzerland (Grimms, 2014) and lived until he was eighty-four years old. Jean Piaget started out with little interest in the sciences, but after he wrote many scientific papers and they were published and well known by the world, he went further into the study. He went on to study at the University of Neuchâtel and received his Ph.D. in natural…

This often occurs in unpredictable stages and is a process of change in which the child learns to master increasingly complex levels of moving, thinking, feelings and relationships with others. Although each child will progress at a different pace, it is nevertheless possible to group children into six age bands that mark different stages of psycho-social development: under one, 1-2; 3-4; 5-9; 10-14; and 15 and over. The unequal spans demonstrate the unevenness of children’s development, which…

Have you ever asked why you act in a particular manner? What causes you to be unlike others? Personality can be defined as characteristics that form a person’s character. The Underground Personality Theory tries to explain our personalities and the way in which they develop. The theory also focuses on the ability of certain characteristics to emerge gradually throughout one’s development. As a toddler, one may be very active and later in life may seem to be very calm in nature. The…

Introduction Due to my own affinity for English and the fact that I can see myself using it with my kindergarten O&P class, I chose the rhyming lesson plan. I think this lesson plan would be appropriate for kindergarteners towards the middle/end of the academic year. At this age, many will not be totally literate, but should be able to detect basic rhymes. Additionally, kindergarteners should be able to identify the words sounds associated with different letters, allowing them to spell…

In adolescence three main developmental tasks are underway including physical development, cognitive development, and identity development.

Spencer, John Dewey, and Jean Piaget. New Haven, CT: Yale University Press. The 21st century is a time of constant social change, increasing global communication and interconnectivity, demographic shifts in populations as well as global economic shifts in power.

As professional helpers, it is important to have a solid foundation of the various developmental models and theories that undergird the work of human behaviors and experiences (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). In this week’s reading, we were introduced to theoretical perspectives that help to categorize human development models. In this paper, it is my hope to categorize human development theories based on the dichotomies of nature versus nurture, universality versus diversity, qualitative change…
