1. Choose three theorists and briefly explain their theory (main points)

4. Choose three theorists and briefly explain their theory (main points) a) Theorist 1: Outline their theory: Jean Piaget (1896-1980) developed a learning theory in which children's development is divided into phases (sensory motor, pre-operational, concrete operational). Early cognitive development, according to Piaget, entails action- Document title: Cl_Supporting_Childrens_Development_AE_Pro2of4 Page 10 of 20 Resource ID: PRJ0062485_Cl_Supporting_Childrens_Development_AE_Pro_2of4 NSW TAFE based processes that advance to changes in mental functions later. Children learn through direct and active involvement with their surroundings, according to Piaget. Piaget proposed that the educator's job should include offering appropriate learning situations and tools the encourage pupils think more deeply. V Give one example of how this theory can be applied in an early childhood service: The theory can be applied in early education service by developing a better understanding of student's thinking and aligning teaching strategies with children's cognitive level. Please revise this into your own words, Tingting - this appears to have come from Microsoft Word - JCPE-2008-01-09.doc (wm edu) MER (More Evidence Required) b) Theorist 2: Outline their theory: Lev Vxgosky (1896-1934) provided a socio-cultural perspective on children's development. He felt that social connection allows children to develop cognitive, social, and linguistic skills. Vygotsky believed that children learn by scaffolding their skills, which meant that a more proficient member of the community or society would help the kid do tasks that were within or just above the child's capability, also known as the zone of proximal development. To facilitate knowledge/ skill acquisition, Vxgosky emphasised teamwork and the use of mixed-age groupings of children. V This is good information, Tingting and I can see you are trying here to put this into your own words however you need to provide a reference for this information - MER (More Evidence Required) Give one example of how this theory can be applied in an early childhood service: The theory can be applied in early childhood service by the educators by understanding each child's ZPD ( zone of Poximal Development) and implementing learning through adult-led and child-initiated play and activities. Can you provide a practical example of what this might look like please Tingting - (More Evidence Required) c) Theorist 3: Outline their theory: Erik Erikson (1902-1994) created a psychosocial phase of development for children, in which the parent and educator play a critical part in ensuring the Document title: Cl_Supporting_Childrens_Development_AE_Pro2of4 Page Had 20 Resource ID: PRJ0062485_Cl_Supporting_Childrens_Development_AE_Pro_2of4 NSW TAFE child's success at each stage. Erikson emphasised that social emotional development is an important part of the early childhood curriculum. V I can see you are trying to paraphrase this Tingting however you will need to reference this please - can you also add the stages of Erikson's theory relevant to early childhood - MER (More Evidence Required)
