Types of Developmental Change
  • Physical
  • Personal
  • Social
  • Cognitive

5
Principles of Development
  • Rates differ
  • Orderly
  • Gradual

6
Brain Development
  • Main structures
  • Specialization and integration
  • Lateralization
  • Storing and transferring information

  • Handout

9
Piagets Theory of Cognitive Development
  • Maturation
  • Activity
  • Social transmission
  • Equilibration
  • Mnemonic MASE

10
Basic Tendencies in Thinking
  • Organization
  • Schemes / schema
  • Adaptation
  • Assimilation
  • Accommodation
  • Resistance???
  • Equilibration
  • Equilibrium
  • Disequilibrium

11
Piagets Stages of Cognitive Development
  • Sensorimotor
  • Pre-operational
  • Concrete operations
  • Formal operations

12
Sensorimotor Stage 02
  • Learning through 5 senses
  • Object permanence
  • Goal directed actions

13
Rules for Toddlers
  • If I like it, its mine.
  • If its in my hand, its mine.
  • If I can take it from you, its mine.
  • If I had it a little while ago, its mine.
  • If its mine, it must never appear to be yours in
    any way.

14
Rules for Toddlers, continued
  • If Im doing or building something, all the
    pieces are mine.
  • If it looks like mine, its mine.
  • If I saw it first, its mine.
  • If you are playing with something, and you put it
    down, it automatically becomes mine.
  • If its broken,

its yours!
15
Preoperational Stage 27
  • Operations
  • Semiotic function
  • One-way logic
  • Difficulty with centering conservation
  • Egocentrism
  • Language develops

17
Concrete Operational StageAges 711
  • Hands on thinking
  • Conservation, identity, compensation
  • Reversibility
  • Classification
  • Seriation

18
Formal Operational StageAges 1115
  • Not all individuals reach this stage
  • Hypothetico-deductive reasoning
  • Scientific reasoning
  • Adolescent egocentrism imaginary audience

19
Implications of Piagets Theory for Teachers
  • Understanding students thinking
  • Match teaching to cognitive stage
  • Presentation strategies
  • Illustrations and examples
  • Assignments
  • Use disequilibrium to motivate
  • Individuals construct knowledge
  • Use disequilibrium to motivate
  • See Guidelines, Woolfolk pp. 35, 37, 40

20
Limitations of Piaget
  • Stage theory inconsistencies
  • Underestimating children's abilities
  • Cognitive development information processing
  • Overlooks influence of cultural and social groups

21
Vygotskys Sociocultural Perspective
  • Knowledge is co-constructed
  • Interpsychological and Intrapsychological
  • Social interactions
  • Role of cultural tools
  • Role of language private speech
  • Self-talk learning
  • Role of adults and peers

22
Private Speech Piaget versus Vygotsky
23
Implications of Vygotskys Theory for Teachers
  • Assisted learning
  • Scaffolding
  • Zone of proximal development
  • Collaborative learning
  • Alternative assessment
  • See Guidelines, Woolfolk, p. 53

24
Reflection Questions
  • Compare Piaget with Vygotsky regarding
    implications for teaching.
  • Compare disequilibrium with the zone of proximal
    development.
  • Compare the role of social transmission in
    Piagets and Vygotskys theories.

25
Language Development
  • Reinforced behaviors or special capacity for
    language learning?
  • Influences of heredity and environment

26
Language DevelopmentThe School Years
  • Pronunciation
  • Syntax
  • Vocabulary meaning
  • Metalinguistic awareness

27
Summary
  • Definition of Development
  • Piagets Theory of Cognitive Development
  • Implications of Piagets Theory
  • Vygotsky Sociocultural Perspective
  • Implications of Vygotskys Theory
  • Development of Language

28
Review Questions
  • What are three principles of development?
  • What part of the brain is associated with higher
    mental functions?
  • What is lateralization and why is it important?
  • What are the main influences on cognitive
    development?
  • What is a scheme?

29
Review Questions
  • As children move through Piagets four stages,
    what are the major changes?
  • What is the problem of the match?
  • What is active learning? Why is Piagets theory
    consistent with active learning?
  • What are some limitations of Piagets theory?
  • Explain how interpsychological development
    becomes intrapsychological development.

30
Review Questions
  • What are the differences between Piagets and
    Vygotskys view of private speech and its role in
    development?
  • What is assisted learning? Scaffolding?
  • What is a students zone of proximal development?
  • How are humans predisposed to develop language?
    What role does learning play?
  • Describe teacher actions and responses that
    encourage language development.

31
Compare Contrast Piagets and Vygotskys
Theories.
32
Short Answer
  • When a child can focus on both width and length
    of two triangles in order to compare their areas,
    Piaget would say that the child is capable of
    _________________.

Short Answer
  • When a child can focus on both width and length
    of two triangles in order to compare their areas,
    Piaget would say that the child is capable of
    decentering.

34

    would be most influential on a childs learning?
  • a. Social transmission
  • b. Cognitive level
  • c. Repetition of information
  • d. Maturation
