Piaget‚ Bandura‚ Bowbly and Vygotsky Development is about the customary way that a child acts (Bruce & Meggit‚ 2006). Child development is multidisciplinary. Several researches have put forward theories on the way children developed. These can be divided into the psychoanalytical theories‚ the learning theories‚ and the cognitive development theories. In this assignment‚ I will explain a number of these theories by showing what the theorists had developed. Jean Piaget: (Cognitive-development

THEORIES AND THE CURRICULUM Learning Theories and the Curriculum Learning Theories 2 Lev Vygotsky‚ born in the U.S.S.R. in 1896‚ is responsible for the social development theory of learning. He proposed that social interaction profoundly influences cognitive development. Vygotsky’s key point is his belief that biological and cultural development do not occur in isolation. Vygotsky approached development differently from Piaget. Piaget believed that cognitive development consists of

Cognitive Development Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky proposed that children learn through interactions with their surrounding culture. This theory is known as the socio-cultural perspective. It also states that the cognitive development of children and adolescents is enhanced when they interact with others who have more advanced skills.

Piaget’s developmental model occupies itself with the functions of the brain and the way it displays its construction of knowledge. In other words‚ Vygotsky appears to theorise from the outside in and Piaget‚ from the inside out. This essay will investigate to what extent this view is valid. As well as looking at the background of Piaget and Vygotsky to attempt to provide a framework from where each man developed his ideas‚ an attempt will be made to draw out the similarities and differences and

identify any need for teachers or adults in cognitive development. Children have all the cognitive mechanisms to learn on their own‚ and the interaction with their environment allows them to do so. To put this in perspective‚ another theory by Lev Vygotsky suggested that the interaction is not important at all; the child will learn when encouraged to with an adult’s assistance.

We can begin with two separate issues raised by Vygotsky’s book: the question of egocentrism in general and the more specific question of egocentric speech
