Study Notes
Piagetian Approaches
- Emphasis on exploration and discovery through a rich variety of activities.
- Encourages children to learn through spontaneous interaction with their environment.
- Activities designed to promote exploration include art, puzzles, table games, dress-up, building blocks, books, measuring tools, and musical instruments.
- Teachers challenge children's misconceptions by introducing activities that build on their current understanding.
- Development is paced according to the child's readiness, avoiding premature skill introduction.
- All children follow the same developmental sequence but progress at individual rates.
- Planning of activities should cater to individual children and small groups, not solely for the whole class.
- Evaluation of progress is based on each child's historical development instead of average performance compared to peers.
Vygotskian Approaches
- Mixed-age classrooms allow younger students to learn from older, wiser peers through scaffolding.
- Utilizes guided participation to facilitate learning experiences.
- Focuses on the zone of proximal development (ZPD) to identify skills just beyond a child's current ability.
- Intersubjectivity is important, meaning understanding is developed through communication and interaction.
- Promotes make-believe play as a vital component of the ZPD, enhancing cognitive and social skills.
- Assisted discovery model highlights the importance of both teacher guidance and peer collaboration in the learning process.
