Elementary VS. Middle School Stages. Since the moment one is born, since the first taste of air our lunges experience, humans start to go through stages. The minute our petite feet step into elementary school, to the time we leave middle school and venture into high school; we are going through eras. Elementary school is the period from first grade to fifth grade. Middle school is the next phase from sixth grade to eighth grade. During this chapters of our lives, we acquire knowledge like sponges absorb water. Both these stages are essential to the creation of fecund children. The stages of middle school and elementary school are two unique worlds, but they are in the same universe. The smell of innocence, when one enters a second-grade
If this stage is successful the child have the virtue of purpose. The fourth stage is industry vs. inferiority which happens in elementary school from the age 6 until puberty. During this stage, the child’s teacher and peers become the source of self-esteem. Children in this stage feel like they need to fit in and gain approval of those around them. They feel confident and gain a sense of pride when they are praised for their accomplishments. If this stage is successful they will gain the virtue of competence. If they feel they can’t do what is asked of them, are rejected by their peers, or their parents/teachers treat them insensitively, they will learn inferiority. Stage five is ego-identity vs. role-confusions which occurs during adolescence. Teenagers being to wonder who they are. This leads to them going through phases and rebelling to search for where they fit in and belong. They explore themselves, others, and roles. If they are unable to establish who they are, they’ll experience role-confusion and suffer an identity crisis. Success in this stage will lead to the virtue of fidelity, but failure means they feel they have no place in society. Stage six is intimacy vs. isolation, this
There are five stages that we all go through in our life, theses stages are;
In this stage, the students can classify objects according to their many features, as well as classify them in a series according to one feature. For example, a student in the stage can organize objects from smallest to largest or shortest to tallest while at the same time grouping the items into similar colors. At this stage, students can comprehend multiple features in a problem, even while they are solving it. Forth grade students are finally able to understand that no everyone sees the world as they see it, making them no longer egocentric. During this stage, the fourth graders should be able to reverse their thinking by working backwards through their mental steps to check their conclusions. Before this stage, the students were not able to recognize when they were wrong or their flaws in an argument. The students are not able to recognize an error in judgment when someone points out a flaw in one of their steps. The students in this stage are very curious and eager to learn new
Many people endure three years of middle school and four years of high school. It is an eventful time for children between 11 to 18 years old. During the adolescent years there are hormonal changes, environmental changes and emotional developmental gains. Middle school is the beginning of transitioning towards independence under the constant eye of adults. During high school they are challenged with real-world challenges that help them transition into adulthood. The behaviors of these individuals change as the factors change around them. For every person, the experience of high school or middle school may be different. Either way, both have the same goal of wanting the student to succeed and evolve. Even so, the similarities and differences vary. Middle school and high school are alike in the areas of receiving an education, socializing with others, and having teachers while different in areas of maturity, difficulty in work, and independence.
Many differences and similarities occur between the years seventh and eighth grade. Whether it be dreaded homework, school rules and restrictions, or valuable time and schedules. Both grades are essential to a student's education, but do the differences make a huge impact to the person?
Dear Freshman Class of 2022, you will notice the difference between Middle School and High school. One major lesson that I have learned was to make a plan for the future. One of the positive experiences that I have gained from High school was making friends that can help me grow as a person. My advice is to try to grow as a person and prepare for the real world.
In middle school, the relationship I had with my grandfather was one which was unbreakable. Even though he did not live in the same state, and I had both of my parents in the home he was always there for me. We place bets with each other over sporting events, like the World Series or the NBA Final, and the loser had to pay up whenever we were together again. Because I lived in North Carolina and he lived in upstate New York, we only saw each other once or twice a year, but he made we had together the most enjoyable. When my family would make the trip to New York I could not wait to see him because we talked about the various thing we were going to do when we were finally together, things like going to restaurants, going to amusment parks, and going to the mall. As a young child, these were all things you love to do, and he would make these events family outings, so all my cousins who were around the same age would come as well. This brought our family very close. While he was alive I was played every sport, and excelled in most of them. I enjoyed golf in particular because it was a sport my grandfather never really played, making him fascinated in every aspect of the sport. Although I was a superb athlete, I was good student as well. I made honor every year and that was what made him the proudest. Of all his grandchildren, there were only a few of us who excelled in school, and he incentivized us to keep up the good work by giving us money. Needless to say, there was not a
Leaving elementary school I wanted to go to a middle school that all my friends were going to, but of course my parents wanted a better school for me than the ones that were available. So I end up going to a completely new charter school with people I didn't know. This school had very different rules than the ones I'm used to you. My first year at a new school and in middle school didn't go so well, but so far this school has proved to be a positive decision.
Stage four is the latency stage, or the school-age child from about six to twelve. The task is to develop a capacity for industry while avoiding an excessive sense of inferiority. Children must "tame the imagination" and dedicate themselves to education and to learning the social skills their society requires of them. At this stage, the parents and other family members are joined by teachers, peers, and other members of he community at large. They all contribute: Parents must encourage, teachers must care, peers must accept. Children must learn that there is pleasure not only in conceiving a plan, but also in carrying it out. They must learn the feeling of success, whether it is in school or on the playground, academic or social.
My personal experience has to do with the first and second questions (the artists, their roles, and the patron). In both middle school and high school, a handful of people from the most advanced art class was selected to paint murals, backdrops for plays, etc. for the school. In each case, we had different strengths, but all wanted to contribute more than our share to get the most credit for the painting. Each artist then took on the same role, but wasn't working together like Georges’ weavers did. Of course, we didn’t have a true Guild in place; the closest thing being a teacher. Though she usually did not make the important decisions. Therefore, it was up to us to distribute the work amongst us and decide if someone should go back and touch
Going back to earlier times throughout my life I would go through four developmental stages per swiss psychologist Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, which is how people think and understand.
Then comes Elementary, which is the second stage. The elementary years are a time when students begin to develop their academic self-concept and their feelings of competence and confidence as learners. They are beginning to develop decision-making, communication and life skills, as well as character values. It is also a time when students develop and acquire attitudes toward school, self, peers, social groups and family. Everything that we learn during elementary school will helps us in a way in the next level of education. The knowledge, attitudes and skills that students acquire in the areas of academic, career and personal/social development during these elementary years serve as the foundation for future success.
could be given, this relates to Piaget’s concept of stages which is central to most of
These three stages are recognized by Mary N. Shaw as follows: "School, where children strove" may represent childhood; "Fields of Gazing Grain", maturity; and "Setting Sun" old age".
The middle stage is where the difficulty level of a task is just above the child’s abilities. Situations in this stage are known as the zone of proximal development. According to Vygotsky and the sociocultural theory, during this stage is where there is the most potential for intellectual development and learning. Parents or teachers should indirectly assist the children in completing the task.
