Study Notes
Child Development
- Observing and monitoring a child's development is crucial to ensure they meet their developmental milestones.
Child Development Theories
Psychosocial Development Theory of Erik Erikson
- Focuses on the conflicts or crises one experiences through social interaction.
Cognitive Developmental Theory of Jean Piaget
- Focuses on children's intellectual development.
- Sensorimotor Stage (0-2 years): knowledge is limited to use of senses.
- Preoperational Stage (2-6 years): learning through language, but no mental manipulation of information.
- Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years): thinking logically, better understanding of mental concepts, but abstract concepts are still difficult.
- Formal Operational Stage (12 years+): ability to think abstract concepts.
Sociocultural Theory of Lev Vygotsky
- Children learn actively through hands-on experience.
- Importance of other people (parents, caregivers, peers) and culture in development.
- Zone of proximal development is included in the theory.
Social Learning Theory of Albert Bandura
- Learning takes place through observation and modeling.
