THEORIES OF HUMAN
DEVELOPMENT: THROWBACK
“…development stages follow a fixed
order, and that each person passes
through these stages in this order.
Sufficient resolution of the challenges
and developmental tasks associated
with each stage is necessary for the
individual to proceed with vigor and
confidence to the next stage, and there
is a ‘teachable moment’ or opportune
time for this development to occur.”
JEAN PIAGET’S THEORY OF COGNITIVE
DEVELOPMENT
• Children learn through interacting with
their environments.
• A child’s thinking progresses through a
sequence of four cognitive stages:
– Sensorimotor intelligence stage (0-2 yrs.)
– Preoperational stage (2-7 yrs.)
– Concrete operations stage (7-11 yrs.)
– Formal operations stage (11-15 yrs.)
IMPLICATIONS TO TEACHING
• Sensori-motor Period: Though there is not
direct implication but as a teacher it is
important to understand that there is a basic
tendency towards continued development in
infants.
– Infants progress through six stages of
development.
– Infants at the same chronological age may differ
their behavior and understanding.
IMPLICATIONS TO TEACHING
– Developments result from an interaction between
the infants and their environment.
– Infants should be stimulated through objects and
events, for this facilitate the continual
transformation of basic structures.
– Infants should be allowed to explore their world,
for their actions contribute to their construction
of reality.
TEACHING IN THE
PRE-OPRETATIONAL STAGE
• Make sure that children manipulate and group
objects.
• Involve students in activities requiring social
interaction.
• Create activities where students need to know
which is, for example, which is taller, bigger,
wider, heavier, or longer.
• Give students opportunity to play with brush and
paints, along with pencils to draw lines or
pictures, which will develop aesthetic sense in
the pupils.
TEACHING IN THE
PRE-OPRETATIONAL STAGE
• Make instructions relatively short.
• As the students at this level are egocentric, so
let them experience themselves instead, to
see the world from other’s eyes. These
physical experiences will seem as building
blocks for later development.
TEACHING IN THE
PRE-OPRETATIONAL STAGE
• At the intuitive level young children are not able
to deal with more than one property of an object
or the situation, so the objects given must be
accordingly.
• Use concrete objects and visual aids to illustrate
the lesson; it will help the students to understand
the topic.
• These concrete objects and visual aids may be
physical demonstration and drawing and
illustrations.
• Use the actions as well as words for explaining.
TEACHING IN THE
PRE-OPRETATIONAL STAGE
• Give students’ material like clay, plastering,
water or sand (which can change shape) to
play and make different shapes, things from
the same amount to understand the concept
of conservation.
• To build/develop vocabulary at the stage give
students words to describe their experiences
(they are seeing, doing, touching, tasting and
smelling).
TEACHING CONCRETE
OPERATIONAL CHILDREN
• Continue any preoperational activity that is
relevant for the children in this age group.
• Encourage students to discover concepts and
principles to assimilate and accommodate on
their own.
• Involve children in operational tasks such as
adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing,
ordering and seriating preferably in concrete
ways there they utilize objects.
• Give opportunities to classify and group object
ideas on increasingly complex levels.
TEACHING CONCRETE
OPERATIONAL CHILDREN
• Ask students to deal with no more than three or
four variables at a time. For doing so, ask the
students to perform experiments with a limited
number of steps.
• Use familiar examples to help explain more
complex ideas so students will have a beginning
point for assimilating new information.
• Present problems, which require logical,
analytical thinking to solve.
TEACHING THE FORMAL
OPERATIONAL STUDENTS
• Teaching at middle and upper level school should
be from concrete considerations, building up,
where applicable, to more abstract reasoning.
• The lectures and reading should be brief and well
organized.
• Plan the activities to achieve the learning
purpose.
• Use familiar examples to help explain more
complex ideas, decision, value, understanding
and insight.
TEACHING THE FORMAL
OPERATIONAL STUDENTS
• It is the time when teacher can develop
problem-solving approach in their students. At
this stage ask students to be in pair or group
of four or three.
Erikson’s Model of Psychological
Development
• Based on eight (8) stages of growth.
• Each stage is characterized by a psychosocial
crisis for the individual’s emotional and social
growth.
• Crises are expressed in polar terms. (e.g. trust
vs. mistrust).
• The child must be able to terms to each crisis
in order to proceed to the next stage.
