The cognitive process of child development and learning has influenced theorists such as Piaget‚ Vygtosky‚ Montessori‚ Bruner and Dewey to develop learning theories which highlight how the cognitive operation of learning occurs and how it is best achieved. The work of these theorists has become the foundation for much research and insight into how children develop on their journey towards learning. To understand how and when children begin to learn‚ it is important to look at why we value the

Theorists Child development theories are an organized set of principles designed to explain and predict something. Below are some major child development theorists and their theories. Jean Piaget – (1896-1980) was originally a biologist before going on to study the development of children’s understanding. He studied children by observing them talking and listening to them whilst he set them tasks to carry out. He came up with the ‘Maturation Theory’ which means that a child simply grows up and

Child development refers to the biological‚ psychological and emotional changes that occur in human beings between birth and the end of adolescence‚ as the individual progresses from dependency to increasing autonomy. It is a continuous process with a predictable sequence yet having a unique course for every child. It does not progress at the same rate and each stage is affected by the preceding types of development. Because these developmental changes may be strongly influenced by genetic factors

Physical Development. 0-3 years – This is a period of fast physical development. When they are first born‚ babies have very little control over their bodies. Their movements are dependant on a series of reflexes (for example – sucking‚ grasping) which they need in order to survive. In their first year they gradually learn to have more control over their bodies so that by 12 months‚ most babies will have developed a degree of mobility such as crawling or rolling. In their second year ‚ babies will

Social and Moral Development As children grow and develop‚ they go through a variety of stages responsible for their social and moral development. The stages that Kohlberg has presented provide a framework of information that we are able to gather data from and identify behaviors as the child progresses through normal human development. Just like most things‚ social and moral development is molded by the surrounding environment and individual interactions. Just like the many other factors that

What is child development? Why study child development? Child development involves the scientific study of changes in the child’s biological‚ social‚ cognitive and emotional behaviour across the span of childhood. Every child’s development is unique and complex. Although children develop through a generally predictable sequence of steps and milestones‚ they may not proceed through these steps in the same way or at the same time. Psychologists and development researchers have proposed a number of

Explain the sequence and rate of each aspect of development from birth -19 years. Child development is a process every child goes through. This process involves learning and mastering skills like sitting‚ walking‚ talking‚ skipping‚ and tying shoes. Children learn these skills‚ called developmental milestones‚ during predictable time periods. A developmental milestone is a skill that a child acquires within a specific time frame. For instance‚ one developmental milestone is learning to walk. Most
