Piaget And Maslow Case Study

During this period, a child develop an ability to form abstract symbols, into concepts and systems. Their thoughts begin to become systematic, and they start to formulate hypothesis about the world around them. A child begins to consider the possibilities of an action, and ponder abstract relationships, which will develop into

According to the developmental theory, there are four main stages that children go through in their development. The stages for development are the sensorimotor, the preoperational stage, the concrete operational stages, and the formal operational stage. The Sensorimotor Stage occurs from birth to two years old. In this stage babies and toddlers use sensory stimulation to learn. The sensory and motor skills and perceptions are what determine a baby’s intelligence.

I found that it is important that I assess ELL students when they come into to my classroom because I need to know what that ELL student already knows, so that I can effectively understand how to move on instructing and assessing the ELL student (Lenski. 2006, P. 25). This article has also taught me that it is important to include parents in their child’s education. Parents can help in completing predictability logs, which can be very useful for me to use when figuring out how much the child already knows. The predictability log will help me to understand the ELL’s prior literacy experiences (Lenski. 2006, P. 26).

We also know that today's new technologies offer the prospect of individualizing education for each child and gearing instruction to the student's particular learning style and most effective means of instruction. We have learned so much about education since today's schools were created. With this new found information we need to use it and create building blocks for our future generations.  One which encourages our children to be the best they can

Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP)? Illustrate how DAP is child-centered? “Developmentally Appropriate Practice, often shortened to DAP, is an approach to teaching grounded in the research on how young children develop and learn and in what is known about effective early education. Its framework is designed to promote young children’s optimal learning and development.” (National Association for the Education of Young Children, 2009) DAP is a tool that guides teachers in making good decisions for the children, both as individuals and as part of a group, based on their understanding of the child’s development and learning as well as in setting learning goals that are both challenging and realisable for the children.

Allowing children to learn to think critically helps them to solve problems and have a logical argument about something they believe is true. Applying critical thinking into schools gives a child a chance to make a difference. Also, Elizabeth McKinstry agrees with Hummell in challenging the next generation to think for themselves. McKinstry writes about how Common Core education helps children become more interactive in the world and teaches them how to apply the knowledge they have learned in life. McKinstry said, "Their reality is not connected to a world outside the boundaries in which they live" (McKinstry 20).

These PSTs include are indicators for how the children are doing on their work inside of the classroom and making sure there is reinforcement within the classroom to help motivate the child. The last principle in the behavioral learning theory is “learning results from the effects of stimuli on responses” (Fetsco and McClure, BLT #3). When planning a lesson, the teacher must “provide the stimuli needed to produce the desired learning” (Fetsco and McClure, BLT #3). In Codell’s classroom, there are signs and bulletins hanging up everywhere that motivate the students and make them want to learn and succeed. These

During this stage children learn through sensory experiences, for example, they often put toys, objects in their mouth. Pre-operational stage: Ages from 2 to 7 years. During this stage, children develop their memory and imagination.

By overcoming their limitations, children cultivate their cognitive ability and pave the way for them to begin thinking in more abstract and formal ways. You can look at the preoperational stage as being a basis or foundation for their cognitive development all the way through to their adult years. That is why it is important for parents to encourage and support their children at this trying time, even when they are asking the same question over and over, why? By helping children to understand the world around them, you are also allowing them to reason and make their own

The motivational psychology researchers discovered several useful approaches and practices that can be implemented in the classroom for effective learning to take place (Miller, 2012). Teachers are using differentiation to support teaching and learning. Differentiation can vary in pace, activities, resources, teaching and learning styles in an attempt to best meet the needs of individual student. Various teaching strategies such as cooperative learning, active learning, role play and games and pedagogic tools are being integrated in educational theories in meaningful and useful ways to encourage task or learning achievements.
