Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist opened the world to the idea of children going through “four universal stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operations”(Feldman 2011,pg.168). The backbone to his theory comes from a basic calculation that, “action= knowledge”(Feldman 2011,pg.168). With this equation Piaget is suggesting that for children to learn and grow they must be provided with the right tools. Just like the virtual child on the MyLab program, it is…

Students with disabilities have to learn how to become socially accepted members of their community, just like normally developing students. Constructivists fell that teachers must instruct their students within their zone of proximal development. The zone of proximal development refers to, “ the instructional area between where the learner has independence or mastery and what can be achieved with competent assistance”(Mercer, Jordan, & Miller, 1994, p.292). Adding to the misunderstanding of…

Out of Sight and Out of Mind? Infants demonstrate rapid cognitive advances throughout their first years. These cognitive skills encompass a child’s ability to think, learn, understand, and remember. Although not initially apparent, from birth, children immediately begin to absorb information and build a foundation for further development. Everyday interactions and experiences create new connections and foster a child’s willingness to explore and make sense of the world around them. The…

Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky’s theories have shaped societies understanding of children’s cognitive development and provide a basis for classroom reforms. Both theorists share similar but contrasting ideas on the progression of child development and learning styles. Through an examination of the teaching methods and approaches demonstrated by Ann in her Year 5 science class, it is clear she incorporates the practice of both Piagetian and Vygotskian theories within her classroom. Through the use…

Jean Piaget (1896-1980) can be noted as the most significant psychologists in the understanding of cognitive development. Originally a biologist, Piaget (1936) turned to cognitive development after working on intelligence testing in Paris and noticing the distinct difference between answers given by children and adults to various problems and questions. Piaget (1936) inferred that this was not because children were unskilled thinkers but instead interpreted the questions differently than adults.…

The world around a child is a wondrous and expansive place in which many queries and faults can arise, I observed this very situation on Thanksgiving night with my younger cousin Sebastian Otenti.

I began observation of Sebastian about an hour before dinner was served to everybody so at this point appetizers were still being displayed and…

In many cultures adulthood began at the start of puberty. The term adolescence wasn’t officially “coined” until the industrial revolution when they wanted to pro long schooling before children were sent to work (teenkillers.org). Psychologist Jean Piaget stated that a person acquires “formal operational thinking” by the age of twelve. This form of thinking is the most mature and abstract thinking stage in development (teenkillers.org). This is why criminals should be sentenced based on their…
