He believed that children form mental concepts or schemes as they experience new situations and events. He also believed that children first try to understand new things in terms of schemes they…

I had absolutely no previous knowledge about cognitive development prior to researching about it this week. I had never heard of Jean Piaget either, but I am glad that I did because his theory of cognitive development is very interesting. I learned that cognitive development is the development of the thinking and organizing parts of the brain and it involves language, reasoning, problem solving, and memory. Piaget was the first psychologist to make a study of cognitive development. Before his…

His well-known contribution to psychology is his stages of moral development, where he formulated his own theory through Piaget’s previous work. The theory was to explain the basic…

the development of students. Such suggestions may come from the theories of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Despite their differing views in cognitive development, both have contributed to the improvement of teaching methods and as a future educator, I plan to use both elements as resources to my teaching methods. Lev Vygotsky introduced what is known as Social Development Theory. Vygotsky differs from theorists such as Jean Piaget, in that his theories stress the role of social interaction and…

Moral development is dynamic; it continues to develop throughout ones lifespan and the path varies from person to person. The moral development…

Ariel was very disorganised with her time management because she lost track of time while…

French – English Relations in Canada RenéLévesque was quite fond of using analogies and metaphors to describe political issues. One such example was when he compared the Canadian French-English relations to an unhappy marriage. Honestly, there was no better way of describing the issues between the two and the stages that they went through. Suppose that English Canada was the husband and French Canada was the wife. There were several situations in which the wife was degraded, the husband was…
