Theories/Philosophy

I considered that all the theories had influenced my job working with children, their families, and parent involvement. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development explains that children learn by exploring their immediate environment and their active learners. Piaget’s development stages provide an organized characteristic of the different stages of children, beginning with sensory motor skills. The Bronfenbrenner’s’ theory, also impact the children’s environment and are affected by the different changes in their immediate environment and changes in society. Bronfenbrenner’s considered the child’s development areas as intellectual, emotional, and milestones are affected by the environment, he considered that children are a product and producers of the environment where they live. Erickson theory considered that each child is unique and should be considered the relationship with his/her culture and life situation. Working with children and their families is important to consider the parent's involvement in their children’s education and development, the level of parents’ education, socioeconomic background and culture. By knowing the family barriers and strengths the teachers or educators can better-planning activities to help the child to improve his skills and help the parents to cope with stress, respecting their culture and beliefs. In classroom also is very important to identify the child’s strengths and weakness to develop an appropriate individual plan that helps the child to improve his/her language, motor, cognitive and socioemotional skills. Recognize that every child is unique and have different needs would help the teacher to make arrangements in the classroom environment to meet each child’s needs and improve their learning skills.

Theorist/Theory Likes/Strengths Research to Support Strengths Piaget: The four “In infancy and Piaget stages of development: the organization of developmental skills according with specific age and the Cognitive theory. Piaget believed that children learn by exploring their world, by keeping it in mind, I provide children a classroom with learning materials that children can explore and use their creativity skills. Vygotsky The sociocultural theory: It focuses on how skills and culture, values, beliefs, customs are passed to the next generation. In classroom, I will display books, toys and different items from different cultures. early childhood, Piaget claimed, children’s understanding is different from adults’ (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.4). Infants use their sensory motor to explore and solve problems. Infants don’t understand the concept of existence of permanent object. Children learn more when they are exposed to direct contact with the environment, explore and learning opportunities. “According to Vygotsky, social interaction—in particular, cooperative dialogues between children and more knowledgeable members of society—is necessary for children to acquire the ways of thinking and behaving that make up a community’s culture” (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.5). Dislikes/Limitations Research to Support Limitations Insufficient research about the influence of culture and social environment in the child’s cognitive skills. Piaget do not believe that the Children’s learning skills improve with training. Vygotsky was focused on social and culture interaction that not make research on the biological side of the child development, brain growth and the role that it plays in the child’s cognitive skills. “Cognitive development begins in the sensorimotor stage with the baby’s use of the senses and movements to explore the world” (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.4). Social interactions practices with adults help the child to develop and acquire new social skills on how to communicate and behave in their own culture. “Vygotsky believed that as adults and more-expert peers help children master culturally meaningful activities, the communication between them becomes part of Bronfenbrenner Bronfenbrenner, on the Ecological systems theory, considered that the different structures of the environment influences on child development extending from home, school and places where children spend most of their everyday life. Bandura Bandura emphasize that children learn by imitation and modeling. Infants and toddlers learn more by imitation and hands on, it is very important for caregivers to model proper behavior, words and proper social skills. “in ecological systems theory, development is neither entirely controlled by environmental circumstances nor driven solely by inner dispositions” (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.5). None “Bandura has shown that children’s ability to listen, remember, and abstract general rules from complex sets of observed behaviors affects their imitation and learning” (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.4). Bandura explain about reinforcement and observational behavior learned but he did not mention what does the role play of the influence of the environment. children’s thinking” (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.5). Children that have parents with “generous workplace benefits for employed parents and set high standards for child care, children are more likely to have favorable experiences in their immediate settings” (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.5). Children are affected by the changes in the parent’s workplace, and changes in society. Bandura, suggest that children also learn by reinforcing or punishment behavior. I believe that by reinforcing positive behavior and praising the children’s effort they will have more enthusiasm to learn and use positive social skills if they had been exposed to positive remarks,” In this way, as children acquire attitudes, values, and convictions Erikson Erickson: The development of the 8 Psychosocial stages. Erikson considered the influence and needs of each culture impact the child’s socioemotional skills. Erickson on the psychosocial stages of development suggest that children respond to positive or negative social interactions at specific age. I will provide more opportunities to promote, initiative, independence, validate children feelings, and interact with each other. Erikson, considered that every individual is unique, his research has influenced many research on “many aspects of emotional and social development, including infant– caregiver attachment, aggression, sibling relationships, child-rearing practices, morality, gender roles, and adolescent identity” (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.4). None about themselves, they control their own learning and behavior” (Berk, 2013. CP. 1.4). If the child had been exposed to negative behavior, he will show aggressive behavior. “Erikson demonstrated how ego strength emerges across stages of a person’s development and showed that its growth depends on the quality, at each stage, of a person’s relations with the world and with other people” (Salem Press Encyclopedia of Health, 2013).
