    Study Notes

    Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development

    • Sensorimotor Stage: Infants learn through sensory experiences and motor actions. They develop object permanence, the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they are not visible.
    • Preoperational Stage: Children learn to use language and symbols to represent objects. They engage in imaginative play but have difficulty with logical thinking and conservation.
    • Concrete Operational Stage: Children develop logical thinking abilities and can perform concrete operations, such as understanding conservation.
    • Formal Operational Stage: Individuals develop abstract thinking skills and can reason hypothetically.

    Montessori Education

    • Emphasizes: Student-centered learning, self-directed exploration, and hands-on experience.
    • Classroom Design: Includes prepared learning environments with a variety of materials that promote sensory exploration, independent problem-solving, and self-regulation.

    Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory

    • Zone of Proximal Development: Refers to the range of tasks a child can accomplish with guidance and support from a more knowledgeable individual (e.g., teacher, parent).
    • Scaffolding: The process of providing support to a learner, gradually withdrawing the support as their understanding develops.
    • Language: Plays a crucial role in cognitive development, social interaction, and shaping thought processes.

    Freud's Psychoanalytic Theory

    • Emphasis: Unconscious drives and early childhood experiences play a significant role in personality development.
    • Id, Ego, Superego: Components of personality:
    • Id: The impulsive and pleasure-seeking part.
    • Ego: The mediator between the id and the superego, seeking to balance desires with reality.
    • Superego: The internalized moral compass, representing societal rules and expectations.
    • Psychosexual Stages:
    • Oral Stage: (birth to 18 months) Focus on pleasure through the mouth.
    • Anal Stage: (18 months to 3 years) Focus on pleasure through bowel control.
    • Phallic Stage: (3 to 6 years) Focus on pleasure through the genitals.
    • Latency Stage: (6 to puberty) Sexual impulses are dormant.
    • Genital Stage: (puberty onward) Reawakening of sexual impulses.

    Erikson's Psychosocial Theory

    • Focus: Social interactions and cultural factors shape personality development throughout the lifespan.
    • Psychosocial Stages: Each stage has its own specific social and emotional conflicts that individuals must resolve:
    • Trust vs. Mistrust (birth to 1 year): Developing trust in caregivers and others.
    • Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (1 to 3 years): Developing independence and self-confidence.
    • Initiative vs. Guilt (3 to 5 years): Developing a sense of purpose and self-direction.
    • Industry vs. Inferiority (5 to 12 years): Developing a sense of competence and achievement.
    • Identity vs. Role Confusion (adolescence): Developing a sense of self and identity.
    • Intimacy vs. Isolation (young adulthood): Developing intimate relationships.
    • Generativity vs. Stagnation (middle adulthood): Contributing to society and the next generation.
    • Ego Integrity vs. Despair (late adulthood): Accepting one's life and finding meaning in it.
