Study Notes

Zone of Proximal Development

Vygotsky's concept focuses on actual and potential development, where actual development refers to existing knowledge and skills, and potential development refers to knowledge and skills that can be assimilated with adult guidance.
The zone of proximal development is a crucial aspect of social interaction theory, where scaffolding is used to adjust support during teaching sessions to fit a child's current performance level.

Theory of Multiple Intelligences

Gardner's theory identifies nine intelligence modalities, each fulfilling eight criteria: brain isolation potential, evolutionary history, core operations, encoding susceptibility, developmental progression, exceptional individuals, experimental psychology, and psychometric support.
The nine intelligence modalities are:
- Visual-Spatial Intelligence: individuals learn through images, recognize patterns, and visualize objects.
- Verbal Linguistic Intelligence: individuals exhibit writing, language dexterity, auditory skills, debating, storytelling, comprehension, and memorizing abilities.
- Naturalistic Intelligence: individuals recognize and utilize flora and fauna productively in various fields.

Psychoanalytic theorists emphasize the role of early experiences with parents in shaping development.
Freud's psychoanalytic theory proposes that adult personality is defined by the way we address conflicts between sources of pleasure at each stage and what reality demands.
Freud's psychosexual theory consists of five stages of development: oral, anal, phallic, latency, and genital.
Erikson's psychosocial theory proposes that individuals develop psychosocial stages, rather than psychosexual stages.

Moral Development Theory

Piaget's method involved observing children's moral development in their natural environment.
Piaget introduced concepts of reciprocity and punishment, and believed that children initially have an absolutist view of morality.
Children develop from heteronomous morality to moral autonomy, where rules are agreed upon for equity and fairness, around age 10.
