1. Psychosocial Crisis: when a psychological need conflicts with the demands of society then that

    According to Erikson’s first stage of development, “Trust vs. Mistrust” begins as soon as the infant is born. Erikson believe that when an infant is first born, they must learn how to trust others. In other words, their parents are the ones who are suppose to

A theory proposed by Erik Erikson (1950, 1963) promotes the eight development stages of adolescents through adulthood by comparing the transitory periods. During each stage, the person experiences a psychosocial crisis which could have a positive or negative outcome for identity and personality development. The first stage is trust vs. mistrust, this stage starts at birth and end at the age of one year. This stage also explains the safety that the infant is getting from the caregiver. For example, if the infant receives constant care, they will develop a sense of trust which will be carried out with them to other and future relationships. The second stage is autonomy vs. shame and doubt; this stage occurs at the age of two to three years old. In this stage, the child is mainly discovering their skills and abilities. The third stage is Initiative vs. Guilt; this stage occurs around age three to age

Therefore, teachers use strategies to implement actions and respond to assist the development of children in their learning. For example, scaffolding is a teaching technique used to simplify learning by reducing information and modifying context centered on the student’s abilities. Scaffolding is support of physical, psychological, and social help for students to develop new skills aligned to a specific goal. Scaffolding is a great technique for teaching that will reduce dynamics by facing challenges of language, poverty, and illiteracy in any culturally diverse classroom. Furthermore, a scaffolded classroom project would require the teacher to plan skillful a lessons around the theme of a project. A each lesson is planned out

The first stage of Erikson's psychosocial stage is trust vs. mistrust, which is experienced, in the first year of life. Infants learn to trust in order to satisfy their needs thus developing a feeling of self-worth. When infants receive inconsistent care they

Scaffolding is “support that enables a child or novice to solve a problem, carry out a task, or achieve a goal that would be beyond his or her unassisted efforts” (2014). Parents, caregivers, and other adults scaffold how to play with a toy, how to get dressed, how to hold a spoon, use a cup, etc. Scaffolding is being done every day unintentionally by anyone who comes in contact with a child. In the Voyager room we see the teacher scaffolding one of the girls when the teacher tells the student to group her animals by size. This was a great way for the student to work on her greatest to least identification skills. Another way a teacher was able to scaffold in the classroom was mediating a fight. A little boy and girl began to fight and so the teacher was able to show them the proper way to talk out a disagreement by walking them through the steps of turn taking when

Erikson’s eight stages of development are trust vs. mistrust, Industry vs. Inferiority and Identity vs. Role Confusion. Stage one is Trust vs. mistrust – birth to age 1- At this stage the infant learns to trust the caregiver to provide for their basic needs or develops mistrust. Stage two is Autonomy vs. shame and doubt– 1-3yrs- At this stage toddlers begin to express their independence by talking, walking, dressing, feeding, and toileting

This can be linked to Vygotsky’s (1978) (cited in Nevid 2007) theory of Zone of Proximal Development. The Zone of Proximal Development is closely linked to scaffolding. Vygotsky sees the Zone of Proximal Development as the area where the child needs the most guidance. He looks at the interaction of peers as a great way of developing skills. The Zone of Proximal Development provides support for the learner’s development. According to (Nevid 2007) the followers of Vygotsky believe that parents and practitioners should use the skill of scaffolding in order to support children when they are gaining new

Psychoanalyst Erik Erikson’s psychosocial theory is also part of the psychodynamic perspective. According to Erikson (Berk, 2007) society and culture have an influence on human development. In contrast to Freud whose theory that proposed development was complete by adolescence (Berk, 2007), Erikson’s theory argues that development is continuous throughout the lifespan and occurs in eight stages. The first stage of development, trust versus mistrust, occurs during infancy (birth to 1-year-old). During this stage if an infant’s basic needs are met by a responsive and attentive caregiver, the infant will begin to trust the caregiver, thus establishing the foundation for future trust relationships. In contrast if an infant does not receive enough or irregular care, or if caregivers are unresponsive, the infant can develop mistrust. The autonomy versus shame and doubt is the next stage, which occurs between the first and third years

Crisis can appear at anytime in a person’s life. It can knock them off their feet, mentally, physically and emotionally. Many people cope with a crisis by withdrawn from life (depression), seeking comfort from drugs and alcohol. However, Crisis doesn’t affect adults solely, but children as well.

Vygotsky felt that the child’s current sociocultural environment played a strong role in how well they learned and language plays a strong role in shaping their thoughts. He also felt that the teacher should guide the student and that other students should be used as part of the teaching

During the first stage of Erikson’s theory trust vs. mistrust – hope it includes from infancy to the first two years of life. The main importance is on the mother and father’s development skill and care for a child, particularly in terms of visual contact and touch. The child will build up hopefulness, trust, confidence, and security if correctly cared for and handled. If a child does not receive trust,

Bruner, amongst others, expanded this concept, by introducing ‘Scaffolding’; a framework whereby individuals provide additional stimulus, information, environment or resources to facilitate a learner until confident to pursue knowledge independently and support is withdrawn.

In order for the ZPD to be such a success, it must contain two features. The first is called subjectivity. This term describes the process of two individuals begin a task with different understanding and eventually arrive at a shared understanding. The second feature is scaffolding, which refers to a change in the social support over the course of a teaching session. If scaffolding is successful, a child's mastery level of performance can change, which means that it can increase a child's performance on a particular task.

The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) is the best known Vygotskian concept. To successfully apply it in a classroom, it is important to know not only where a child is functioning now and where that child will be tomorrow, but also how best to assist that child in mastering more advanced skills and concepts.
