Constructivism

A learning theory where people actively build their understanding of the world through experiences and interactions with their environment

Interaction Theory

Learning happens through constant communication & interaction between people & the world.

Maturation Theory (Endogenous)

Development solely results from internal factors, like predetermined growth stages. External factors may influence, but do not drive development. It assumes there are specific growth processes that need to happen before a certain behaviour can be exhibited or learnt

Maturation (Growth/Development)

Children develop naturally according to pre-programmed stages of growth and development. Environmental factors may support or hinder development. A supporting environment helps progress on the timetable, but is not completely necessary.

Study Notes

Interactionism

  • Individuals actively interact with their environment
  • Environment influences development
  • Development is a continuous process
  • Individuals are not passive recipients of environmental influences
  • Individuals act upon and change their environment
  • Development is a product of the interplay between the individual and their environment

Interaction Theory

  • Interaction between people and their environment is critical to human development
  • People actively contribute to their development
  • Environment shapes the individual and the individual shapes the environment

Maturation Theory

  • Development unfolds in a fixed order
  • Development is based on biological processes
  • Development is determined by hereditary factors and not by environmental influences
  • Fixed sequences and stages of development occur
  • Children develop in predetermined stages
  • Environment cannot influence development stages
  • Developmental stages must be reached sequentially and in order

Cognitive Development

  • Focuses on the mental processes that lead to understanding of the world
  • Involves various stages of thinking and learning
  • Development progresses from simple to complex thinking
  • Interactions with the environment contribute to developmental progression
  • Individuals adapt to their environments by developing different ways of thinking and learning
  • Building on experiences, children acquire progressively more complex thought processes, leading to a more comprehensive understanding of the world around them.

Conditioning Theory

  • Focuses on observable behaviors and their responses to stimuli
  • Behavior modification strategies
  • Development occurs through learning
  • Learning new behaviors through association

Ecological Systems Theory

  • A multi-layered analysis of environmental influences on development
  • Studies the impact of various environmental systems on individuals
  • Considers many factors that affect a person's development
  • Provides a comprehensive understanding of how individuals develop
  • Highlights the interplay among different levels of the environment
  • Recognizes the importance of family, school, and societal contexts
  • Explains that one's development is shaped by interactions within these systems.
