056 - working effectively in children's education and care - theories and theorists
developmental
theorists:
Maria Montessori
Howard Gardner
Rudolf steiner
John Bowlby
Jean piaget
educators respond to and plan activities in relation to children's developmental stages. Children explore, discover and grow at their own pace. Attachment theory emphasised the importance of securing relationships in a child's emotional and social development
socio behaviourist
theorists:
Skinner
Bandura
Pavlov
belief that anyone can learn anything given the right reinforcement and is it through this positive reinforcement that one is motivated to learn. Educators tend to reward positive desired behaviour in the belief that everything can be learned and also unlearned
socio cultural
theorists:
Lev Vygotsky
Bruner
Bronfenbrenner
Malaguzzi
Rogoff
Educators and more knowledgable others scaffold and transform learning in response to children's prior understandings. This means that educators should view a child's development based on their culture, family, and communities
critical
theorists:
Habermas
Freire
educators working from a critical perspective are encouraged to question what goes on in their settings and for what purpose/intention. They ask "why" questions such as "why am I teaching this"
post-structuralist
theorists:
Bourdieu
Canella
Foucault
Educators explore many different ways of exploiting power relationships embedded in their practice that may privilege certain children over others. Taking a post-structuralist perspective means believing that there are multiple and contested ways of learning.
