...child’s learning during the pre-operational and concrete operational stage. (300 words) Pre-operational stage: The preoperational stage ranges from about ages 2 to 7 (Piaget, 1951, 1952). The child in this stage is pre (before) operations. This means the child cannot use logic or transform, combine or separate ideas. The child's development consists of building experiences about the world through adaptation and working towards the (concrete) stage when it can use logical thought. During the end of this stage children can mentally represent events and objects (the semiotic function), and engage in symbolic play. 1. Smell Games: Present a collection of strong smelling items such as oranges, roses, mint or vanilla for preoperational stage activities involving the senses. Have the kids try to guess the item by just using the sense of smell. 2. Sense of Touch: Similar to the sense of smell games, gather together items such as fabric, leaves, mud, sandpaper and cotton balls. Have children describe how the item feels. You can have the child sort items according to touch as well. For instance, have the kids group the rough, soft or squishy feeling items into piles. Ask the children to find all the soft feeling items in the group and pull them out. These preoperational stage activities use the senses and the child's ability to sort and make distinctions among objects. Concrete Operational stage: Piaget (1954) considered the concrete stage a major turning point in the child's...

...“Dr Maria Montessori took this idea that the human has a mathematical mind from a French philosopher Pascal and developed a revolutionary math learning material for children as young as 3 years old. Her mathematical materials allow the children to begin their mathematical journey from a concrete concept to abstract idea”. With reference to the above statement please discuss how these children utilize their mathematical mind as part of their natural progression, to reason, to calculate and estimate with these Montessori mathematical materials in conjunction with their aims and presentations? The child doesn’t learn mathematics only through Montessori, but he learns it from the day he was born or even before that. It is a known fact that an embryo can hear its mother. When a mother says ‘the baby kicked me 4 times’, the baby can understand this in her womb. After the baby is born people often tell him what day he was born or how many siblings he has, etc. The child’s day-to-day life and environment is connected with math. The child is born into a mathematic world where he has to adapt to it. The child needs math to sort and group objects within their environment. When the child enters the Montessori environment, he can already count without knowing the real meaning of the numbers (rote-counting). He counts with understanding of numbers and gradually learns arithmetic’s, geometry and algebra in the Montessori classroom. ‘The Mathematical Mind’ refers to the unique tendencies...

...and called for the Hilltop Hose Company to respond with their ladder truck as well as the Pioneer Hose Company, which was located one block away. Upon first entry into the building, firefighters reported the floor being hot to the touch through a gloved hand and PPE’s. The furniture Restoration Company, once and automobile dealership, had large glass windows in the front of the building with what appeared to be heavy duty concrete supports and flooring with a ramp leading to the second floor. This ramp that was added after construction was completed to allow vehicle access to the dealership showroom. Upon the initial size up, the Pioneer Hose Company Chief determined that the building was of a type 3 construction due to the exposed structural supports on the C side of the building. Later investigation showed severe discrepancies between what the chief believed the structure was built of and what it actually was. The fire building was constructed with masonry pilasters as load bearing supports in the vertical walls, lightweight steel to support the concrete floor systems, and a wooden roof. The most important detail of the buildings construction was the floor system. According to a US Fire Administration report, the “floors and roof of the building were supported by a frame of unprotected steel members…Steel beams spanned the width of the building at four locations, dividing the structure into 5 bays of...

These teachers have demonstrated appropriate activities, different learning styles, and use motivation strategies. Fifth and sixth grade are in Piaget's Cognitive concrete stage of thinking were they begin to think logically and abstractly. Mrs. Bradberry provided the appropriate activity in the concrete stage of thinking in her fifth grade class. During the student’s note taking, she asked the students leading questions about the subject to motivate them to think logically. For example, “Class, what classification would the log be in the ecosystem? Non-living or living?” Also, “how do all of these living and nonliving things in this ecosystem work together?” After the notes of the diagram picture, she had the students, on their own, write out the living and nonliving things in the picture. This further the students concrete stage of logical thinking....

...Moss Eng. 113-A Ms. Jennings Tupac Shakur, the Rose That Was “The Rose That Grew from Concrete,” a poem by the late Tupac Shakur, is a poem that parallels Tupac’s life from early childhood until his death and beyond. The concrete representing the struggles and hardships that were a part of Tupac’s earlier days. The rose represents Tupac and his determination to make something of himself against all odds. Tupac Shakur, born Lesane Parrish Crooks on June 16, 1971, spent the majority of his youth in New York City where he was born. In Tupac’s poem the concrete symbolizes his early childhood and the struggles that were a part of growing up. Tupac’s father was absent for most of his life, according to the (urbandictionary.com). Tupac did not meet his biological father, Billy (William) Garland, until after he was shot five times on November 30, 1994, in New York City. Tupac would eventually incorporate the “thug life” persona in his life which would lead Tupac on a downward spiral of misfortunes. Mikal Gilmore, in Rolling Stones article characterizes Tupac as “perhaps the most despised man in America.” Gilmore goes on to describe the late rapper’s music as being merciless and condemned by some of Americas most powerful people (Glimore102-104). Tupac would eventually end up in jail for sexual assault which would not be his last brush with the law. Between Tupac’s vision of what the concrete symbolizes and what was instilled in him from a mother and step father that were members...

...Applications of Piaget and Vygostsky’s cognitive developmental theories in a practical classroom environment Piaget and Vygotsky have antonymous beliefs when dealing with the concepts of cognitive development. Vygotsky believes in development through social behaviour whilst Piaget believes in individuals acquiring knowledge on their own. Both however, believe that the interaction between development and learning hold significant implications for a child’s growth. This essay discusses some of the philosophical beliefs of each theorist in regards to a scenario based in the classroom of a year five teacher named Ann. Ann reinforces classroom lessons through the outdoor environment, exemplifying Piaget’s theories of constructivist based learning as well as teaching methods that cater to the concrete operational stage of cognitive development. Ann also displays Vygotsky’s cognitive theory involving the zone of proximal development and peer to peer or teacher-peer scaffolding within a group environment. The essay will examine Ann’s teaching methods and how they relate to these cognitive developmental theories. Ann’s socially-constructive pedagogical approach as described by Howell (2012) will help children build their knowledge base through collaborative learning as well as independent work, known as scaffolding. Ann would apply the technique of scaffolding by providing assistance and offering feedback relating to new information (Woolfolk, 2004). Vygotsky (1978) put forward a theory...

While many students have background knowledge of the items presented, it is often in their native language and they do not know the English term which makes it difficult to make connections with the content of the lesson (Echevarria, Vogt & Short, 2013). This activity assists students in learning vocabulary to improve their success in making those connections. | Reading | Shared ReadingThe teacher reads from a text that has visuals (maps, pictures, etc.). The teacher reads slowly and clearly and points out key vocabulary during the reading. The teacher asks for one to two word responses or short phrases from students to describe what they learned from the reading. | The use of realia such as pictures, maps, graphs and concrete items assist students with making connections to the content being presented. “When teachers explanations are made more concrete with supplementary materials, students are more likely to make appropriate connections” (Echevarria, Vogt & Short, 2013, pg. 67). | Writing | Write a descriptionThe teacher will read from an informational text about a topic that is culturally relevant to students in the class. Students will draw a picture connected with the lesson content (for example; a photo of a historic event or artifacts from a...

...tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever” (Mahatma Gandhi 1869-1948). Throughout life humans go through learning process. Learning is defined as obtaining information or skills through observation, study or experience. There are different types of learning styles according to Kolb’s learning theory (Payne,E. and Whittaker. L, 2006). Each individual learns in a different way, simply because they perceive and execute information or experience in their own preferred style. Kolb (1984) describes that there are four learning styles which would be Converger, Diverger, Assimilator and Accommodator respectively. I see my-self best fit into Diverger and Accommodator learning styles. According to Kolb, a diverger learner is good at applying concrete experience and reflective observation. A diverger is able to view things from different perspectives and often learn through observation. They also tend to solve problems using imaginations and carries feeling oriented personality. Divergers prefer to be an observant rather than taking part in any situations or issues. Kolb says that divergers perform well in situation where it requires generating ideas such as brainstorming. They often influenced by others, enjoy working in a group, like to receive positive feedback, and prefer to learn via logical instructions. For example, I had an interesting learning curve during my past working experience as a software programmer. For the first time, I was given an assignment to construct a mobile...

...accommodate those students. Yes, I do feel like it is important for teachers to incorporate a variety of technology to support the diverse learning needs because by accommodating those students is helping them to be successful with their academics, thus providing support technically and giving the students the opportunity to gain knowledge and feedback of understanding of lesson plans. Technology can encourage students to get into peer involvement, sharing ideas, and criticizing other students work also working in groups will provide student with more comprehensive knowledge during class. Teachers can use other avenues to create a meaningful learning experience by sending agenda’s and homework folders home with students. Parents can see what and how their child is doing and what they are learning in the classroom. The teachers can have the parents to initial the agenda so they will know the parents actually looked at the student’s agenda. Teachers can express to the student what is expected from them and in response the student will demonstrate that they have full understood the lesson. Technology can serve as a friend to the students and teachers, but teachers still will want students to think for themselves for the most part of...
