Assessment is an essential part of teaching and learning. Assessment informs me how I teach, and how I should design or change the curriculum to meet with the students’ needs to support their learning. Assessment is also useful for me to provide the students meaningful feedbacks on their learning progress so that they know where they are and what they should do to develop their learning. Assessment can be formative and summative (Griffin, 2014). In my previous placement, I had the opportunities…

how to apply certain material that best suits 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…

Define Topic In Denver, one of the most popular places for families with young children or early childhood centers is the Denver Children’s Museum. The Denver Children’s Museum (at Marsico) houses over 20 hands-on exhibits for children and their families to engage in. The museum’s philosophy encompasses the importance of creating an environment where both children and [their] adults learn through the use of play (Brenkert, 2012). Some exhibits include, but are not limited to: Art Studio…

To make final Each theory that is presented on the topic of child development has their advantages and disadvantages. My parenting philosophy is to be encouraging and supportive then again not to be overbearing and overly protecting of the child. I require the child to feel attached to me and have a virtuous bonding, however I also entail him to feel secure enough to explore and be independent as I believe this is an essential life skill for every child to develop early on. Over…

In this assignment, the contribution of talk will be looked at in three main areas; drama, reciprocal reading and questioning. Linking talk to how it helps children’s understanding of texts. A text is defined as meaningful phrases of language that is either written or spoken (Halliday, 1985). The national curriculum shows a variety of oral activities that can be used in the classroom, which includes persuading, drama, explaining, storytelling, and discussion (Grigg, 2010). These examples set in…

no influence in these early stages. Children are related especially to their family dynamics, and cultural values. Lev Vygotsky is considered the precursor of social constructivism, and the several social conceptions of learning. The core of Lev Vygotsky approach is to consider the individual as the result of historical and social process, where language plays an essential role. For Lev Vygotsky, knowledge is a process of contact between the subject and the medium, but the medium understood as…

Constructivism and Social Constructivism in the Classroom (From: http://marjorieumg.weebly.com/learning-theories.html) For this work, I would like to focus on “Constructivism and Social Constructivism in the classroom” in the scope of this course. In the following sections, I will explain the meaning and the basics of constructivism theory, the origin of it and the starting point of the theory. In addition, importance of constructivism theory will be discussed. Furthermore, the supporters…

analyze various aspects of learning—what it is, how it is obtained, and how a teacher can facilitate it. Depending on their area of study, psychologists have different views on how learning is obtained. My personal definition of learning stems from Lev Semenovich Vygotsky’s study of Cognitive Development and his views on Constructivism. There is also a reference to Albert Bandura’s contribution to the Social Cognitive Theory. My personal definition of learning is: Learning is the combined use of…

myself and my abilities, both academic and social. However, with all due introspection and now retrospection, I feel a change is necessary because the academic and cultural atmosphere at Central Washington University is too thin for me. Sociologist Lev Vygotsky believed that peers play a major role in an individual’s development and learning. The students and friends with whom I grew up were extraordinarily bright, competitive, and creative. In high school, discussions and opinions on almost…

When considering an individual to display the effects of biological, psychological and sociocultural forces on psychological development, I can think no further than my own mother; with a dynamic personal history showcasing the aspects of political conflict, ethnicity, religion, occupation among many others, I have seen numerous psychological theories presented within the context of her life. At the age of 62, she is currently in her middle to late adulthood, and is working as a physician in her…
