EY W3 cognitive development
what is development
process by which an organism (human or animal) grows and changes through its lifespan
childs development
5 main domains of development- cognitive, psychosocial, emotional, linguistic
age periods
prenatal, infancy, preschool-early childhood, middle childhood, adolescence
implication of Piagets theory for education
education- child-centered learning
children only learn when ready and at right stage of cognitive development
scaffolding educational implications
assist child in learning zone of Proximal Development (ZPD
joint construction knowledge, collaborative learning
if teacher is not there the child is restricted to the parts they can do themselves
similarities of Piaget and Vygotsky
cognitive limits
Piaget- concept of readiness, children should be forced to memoreise concepts beyond thier cognitive reach
Vygotsky- concept of ZPD considers childs limitations as zone is finite and guidance can only help to extend childrens abilities to certain extent
child centred approaches
Piaget- CCL should focus on matching the child with task at an appropriate difficulty level, should challenge schemas whilse considering readiness so they can expand abilities through experiences
Vygotsky- focuses on collaboration with tutor and the ability of a tutor to provide a child with appropriate scaffolding
peer learning
Piaget- interaction with peers is important for development because the knowledge of peers can challenge the existing schemas
Vygotsky- agrued that more advanced peers could provide children with guidance to help them reach new abilities in their ZPD
constructivism
knowldege and meaning are created rather than existing objectively
Piaget- knowledge is constructed by learner through discovery then expanded through assimilation and accomodation
Vygotsky-knowledge is socially constructed through social interaction within the culture
differences of Piaget and Vygotsky
private speech
Piaget- stages of cognitive developemt were proposed to be universal but based on independent cultural influences
Vygotsky- chidlren devlelopment is influenced by culture, learn cultural tools like vlaues, language and symbols associated with culture which later shape understanding of world, cross cultrual differences in childs development
