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.
