    Study Notes

    Child Development

    • Children at this stage have difficulty distinguishing between appearance and reality.
    • Assimilation: understanding new situations in terms of existing cognitive structures.
    • Accommodation: Changing existing cognitive structures because new situations are too unfamiliar and clash with current structures.
    • Object permanence: The ability to recognize that something continues to exist, even when it is not observed.
    • Symbolic functioning: Using mental symbols, words, or pictures to represent something not physically present.
    • Pre-operational thinking: Children rely on pre-causal reasoning.

    Self-regulation

    • Self-regulation: The ability to focus on specific aspects of a situation, initiate unwanted tasks, and stop enjoyable activities.
    • Self-regulation begins externally, developing from interactions with caregivers and internalized through development.
    • Play: Crucial for self-regulation, as it requires children to act against immediate impulses and self-control.
    • Play involves rules and social interactions as it contributes to self-regulation, alongside hearing and vocalization.
    • Early learning: Children learn by observing, listening, and interacting with their environment, which develops a holistic understanding of the world.
    • Advanced Learning: Early skills combined with reading and writing form a complex synergy for understanding and reproducing written language.

    Griffiths’s Holistic Development Model

    • Griffiths’s theory: Emphasizes the child's development within social systems, physiology, and psychology.
    • She identifies six domains of development, understanding that they are independent but interconnected.
    • This model remains influential in understanding child development.

    Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development

    • Moral development: Refers to the progression of ethical reasoning and behavior, with differing stages influenced by cognitive and moral development.
    • Kohlberg’s Six-Stage Theory: Outlines the development of moral reasoning.
    • Just Community Approach: An educational intervention applying Kohlberg’s theory to create a school environment promoting just practices and participation.
    • Schools need to become just environments for children to learn justice, fairness, and morality effectively.
    • Student participation: Plays a crucial role in the Just Community Approach to foster moral growth.
