Sensori-motor thinkingPreoperational thinkingConcrete operational thinkingFormal operation thinking
Developmental stages
Universal stagesInvariant sequenceIndividual differences in age limits

Developmental milestones:o Object permanence o Goal-directed actions o Immediate and deferred imitationo Emergence of pretend play
Sensori-motor thinking (Birth – 2 years)
![Page 6: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Developmental milestones:
o Acquisition of language
o Emergence of symbolic thought
o Blossoming of pretend play
Preoperational thinking (2-7 yrs)
![Page 7: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Animism
Centration (lack of conservation)
Precausal reasoning “I haven’t had a nap, so it’s not afternoon yet”
Egocentricism
Deficits of preoperational stage
![Page 8: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Developmental milestone -- conservation o Identity; o reversibility; o compensation; o seriation; o classfication
Concrete operational thinking (7-11 yrs)
![Page 9: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Concrete specificity rather than abstract reasoning
Deficit of concrete operational thinking
![Page 10: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Developmental milestones:o Propositional thinkingo Hypothetical-deductive reasoning
• Not every individual reaches this stage• Context matters• Formal schooling plays a key role
Formal operational thinking (>11/12 yrs)
![Page 11: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Schemes: a cluster or structure of ideas organising existing knowledge to make sense of new experiences
DisequilibriumAdaptation:
1) assimilation2) accommodation
Piaget: the learning process

Students as ‘solitary scientists’
Constructivism; discovery learning; inquiry-based learning
Peers as thought provokers
Teachers as assessors and experience providers
Piaget’s classroom

Research methods
Later research findings
Stage-like development
Tendencies rather than potentials
Universal vs differences
Criticisms of Piaget

Vygotsky: Bio and context(1896-1934)
![Page 15: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Teaching and learning lead development; teaching cannot lag behind development
From lower (first-order) to higher (mediated) mental functions
"The central fact about our psychology is the fact of mediation”
Developmental process
![Page 16: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
"We can formulate the genetic law of cultural development in the following way... Every function in the child's cultural development appears twice, or on two planes. First it appears on the social plane and then on the psychological plane. First it appears between people as an inter-psychological category and then within the individual child as an intra-psychological category... but it goes without saying that internalisation transforms the process itself and changes its structure and functions. Social relations or relations among people genetically underlie all higher functions and their relationships”. (Vygotsky 1978)
Development and social relation
Interpsychology -- intrapsychology
The meaning of ‘Hello’The origin of the indicative function of
finger pointing

Enabling thinking development and transformation
The ‘square bamboo’ story
Realising the knowledge potential in apparently wrong, illogical and nonsensical remarks
The Role of Language
![Page 18: Piaget and Vygotsky’s Developmental Theories Education Foundations, Week 3](https://reader033.vdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051113/56649d975503460f94a80b40/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Distance between what students can do independently and what they can do with others
Measuring the size of the child’s mind by the shadow it casts vs. understanding the child’s mind by the assisted light it emits
