Jean Piaget and Jerome Bruner are two theorists who have both had an effect on education over the past century. The process of teaching and learning used by mathematics teachers has been greatly contributed to by Piaget and Bruner. Constructivism is based on the ideas formed by Piaget and Bruner‚ “a theory that views the child as creating knowledge by acting on experience gained from the world and then finding meaning in it.” (Sperry-Smith‚ Van De Walle‚ Karp and Bay-Williams‚ 2012‚ p.10).

Energy conservation refers to reducing energy through using less of an energy service. Energy conservation differs from efficient energy use‚ which refers to using less energy for a constant service. For example‚ driving less is an example of energy conservation. Driving the same amount with a higher mileage vehicle is an example of energy efficiency. Energy conservation and efficiency are both energy reduction techniques. Even though energy conservation reduces energy services‚ it can result in

LIQUID CRYSTALS Introduction What are Liquid crystals ? Its History & Discovery Any of various liquids in which molecules are regularly arrayed like a solid crystal along one or two dimensions‚ but are free in the other dimensions as with typical liquids. Liquid crystals often display unusual and often manipulable optical properties such as anisotropic scattering. They can be divided into two classes‚ Thermo tropic(nematic‚ chiral nematic‚ and smectic.) and Lyotropic. Transitions to thermotropic

stage(birth- 2) is defined at the time when a child is not capable of making schemas for things that are not in front of them. Children adapt to the world around them by using their five senses and basic motor skills. There are four developmental tasks in this stage‚ and they are; Symbolic thought‚ out of sight-out of mind‚ goal directed behavior and object permanence. Symbolic thought is defined at the way a child labels what they see in everyday life‚ also known as forming schemas. A child that

Piaget developed four universal stages of development. The first stage‚ the sensorimotor stage‚ occurs around 0-2 years. The second stage is the pre-operational stage‚ and lasts from approximately 2-7 years. The next stage is the concrete operations stage‚ which lasts from around 7-11 years. The final stage‚ formal operational thought‚ occurs around age 12 and lasts into adulthood (Mooney‚ 2013). In researching Piaget’s stage theory‚ and the corresponding characteristics‚ kindergarten children

explain human behaviour by understanding our thought process. Our information process is compared to that of a computer: Inputting‚ storing and receiving data. One of the most famous cognitive psychologists was a scientist called Jean Piaget (1896-1980). According to Piaget‚ understanding comes in the form of ‘schemas’ (Fritscher‚ 2011). Schemas are cognitive structures that represent certain aspects of the world (pre-conceived ideas for things). Schemas develop through at least two processes: assimilation

WATER Conservation INTRODUCTION: Water is essential for life on earth. Water is needed for growing food‚ keeping ourselves clean‚ generating power‚ controlling fire and most importantly to stay alive! This list is simply non-ending. This shows that water is an integral part of our daily life and we are heavily dependent on it. Water conservation: Refers to reducing the usage of water and recycling of waste water for different purposes such as cleaning‚ manufacturing‚ and agricultural irrigation

certain fluid. In this experiment two solutions are used. According to the definition of viscosity mobile liquids have a relatively low viscosity. Fluidity is the reciprocal of viscosity‚ given as equation 1: F=1/ η. Fluidity is advantageous because solutions of mixed solutions of nonassociating liquids are roughly additive. In this experiment binary solutions are used‚ so if each pure liquid has fluidities Fa and Fb‚ the fluidity of a mixture is given by: Equation1 (Halpern‚ 17-3).
