Piaget (Discontinuous Theory) vs. Vygotsky (Continuous Theory) Hildie B. Ericksen Piaget (Discontinuous Theory) vs. Vygotsky (Continuous Theory)         Discontinuous Classic Stage Theory Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory describes four stages of human development which he described as naturally emerging reasoning and development. The first two stages can be described as sensori-motor development. In all stages of development, the child learns to adapt, assimilate

accomplish cognitive stability in assimulation and accommodation (Hummed, 1998). The child will interpret and fathom the word through experiences challenging their understandings (Oakley 2002). Lev Vygotsky is the foundation of extravagant amounts of research in cognitive development (McLeod 2014), Vygotsky observed children as curious and active in their learning, underlining the central role of social interaction (McLeod 2014). The nature and nurture debate is combined with cognitive development

What (do you intend to do?) I intend to research whether the concept of collaborative learning will promote learning and progress with SEN students, and whether the social interaction of learners will encourage cognitive development in special needs students to reach higher levels of thought than they would independently. I intend to focus and examine the following questions: 1. Does collaborative learning improve the classroom experience for SEN students? 2. Does collaborative learning improve

The idea of inner speech dates backs to the time of Plato and has been in use till date, but emphasis will be laid on Vygotsky’s work. The phrase inner speech was initially used by Lev Vygotsky, a Russian psychologist, to describe a stage in language acquisition and thought in his famous work ‘Language and Thought. Vygotsky is said to believe that "speech began as a social medium and became internalized as inner speech, that is, verbalised thought" (Katherin, 2006, p. 17). Since the translation and

Lev Vygotsky was a very intelligent man who invented the Social Cognitive Theory that mainly focuses on the development of higher mental functions such as speech and reasoning in children. The theory emphasizes the importance of society and cultural for promoting cognitive development. "Vygotsky believed that adults in society foster children's cognitive development in an intentional and systematic matter by engaging them in meaningful and challenging activities."      Vygotsky had assumptions that

are constantly being improved because of the influences of Swiss biologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980) and Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934), who developed theories of cognitive development among children. While these theories are similar in some ways, they also have key differences, such as the fact that Piaget thought children developed through stages, whereas Vygotsky stressed a more continuous and social process. Piaget’s key findings in the sensorimotor stage of a child’s development and

science students. We will look at how the teacher, Anne, has used relevant aspects of both theories within her classroom as well as any shortcomings of the theories in the class. Upon reading the scenario, it is evident that both Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky have significantly influenced the pedagogy of the teacher. She has taken advantage of the outdoor classroom accompanied by the use of group work in order to positively influence the cognitive development and learning experience of her year eight

approach was psychologist Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934). L. Vygotsky believed that children’s learning and development is strongly influenced by child’s culture and how children develop and learn can be different from culture to culture. He proposed that children, in order to learn, need to be supported by other people. For example, teachers and peers, who already gained particular knowledge. The second theorist of socio-cultural approach was B. Rogoff (1950). Same as L. Vygotsky, she believed, that children

suggests to primary procedures whereby persons learn from their environment: that is biological and social factors. Lev Vygotsky believes that both approaches play a crucial role in child development. He believed that children establish their growth through active participation in the society. In our case of the Wild Boy of Aveyron, Victor, social factors approach is applicable. Vygotsky further holds a belief in the scientific method, and that only evident behavior should be considered since this can

The first example that shows the socialization of Vygotsky’s theory is learning to ride a bike. Most children in our neighborhood ride their bicycles without training wheels. However, my son who is five was still using his bike that had the training wheels but wanted to take them off to be like the other kids. This is connected to the cognitive theory by my child knowing the motor skills to use to ride a bike but having to still use the training wheels to ride his bike. For him to accomplish
