  • Theories of Intelligence, Learning, and Motivation As a Basis for Praxis
    Theories of Intelligence, Learning, and Motivation as a Basis for Praxis Dr Eulalee Nderu-Boddington Ph.D. Education Assistant Professor at Prince Sultan University Riyadh Saudi Arabia May 26th 2008 ABSTRACT This paper examines how Piaget, Werner, and Gardner differ regarding the roles of cognition, intelligence, and learning in the developmental process. Piaget believes in the predominance of genetic factors. Werner stresses the influence of biological factors, while Gardner proposes that the environment plays a greater influence in how intelligence and learning are acquired. This paper also surveys research on achievement and learning strategies and their role in student motivation. The development of conceptual understanding is related to prior knowledge, interest, learning goals, and achievement goals. Introduction This paper focuses on the developmental theories of Werner, Gardner, and Piaget, all of whom have significantly influenced the field of education through their differing understandings of how students learn from childhood to adulthood. Most researchers agree that a combination of biology and environment affects personality and intelligence, but they differ in assigning relative importance to these two influences. Although poor nutrition, poor health care, and head injuries have been linked to poor IQ scores, for the most part environmental variables have not been found to account for a substantial portion of observed variations in human intelligence. Therefore, some psychologists believe heredity is the dominant influence on intelligence. They base their views on research that concentrates on variations among people in general cognitive ability or IQ. Others believe that such research overemphasizes the concept of IQ and gives too much credit to genetics (Azar, 1995).

  • JEAN PIAGET (1896–1980) Alberto Munari1
    The following text was originally published in Prospects: the quarterly review of comparative education (Paris, UNESCO: International Bureau of Education), vol. XXIV, no. 1/2, 1994, p. 311–327. ©UNESCO:International Bureau of Education, 2000 This document may be reproduced free of charge as long as acknowledgement is made of the source. JEAN PIAGET (1896–1980) Alberto Munari1 A portrait of an educator that is also a portrait of the great Swiss epistemologist and psychologist might, at first glance, seem surprising. Indeed, why should Jean Piaget be regarded as an educator?—since he never practised that profession and always refused the title of educationist, going so far as to affirm: ‘I have no views on teaching’ (Bringuier, 1977, p. 194), and since all his writings on education2 do not amount to more than a three-hundredth3 part of his œuvre as a whole. Such bafflement is altogether in order if we refer only to Piaget’s own scientific output. But it is less surprising if we remember the many books that we owe to other authors on the educational implications of Piaget’s achievement4. Indeed, for several years, we have ceased to count the number of educators and educationists in different countries who explicitly refer to Piaget’s work to justify their methods and principles. But is the interpretation always the same? Do writers invariably refer to Piagetian psychology, or do they evoke other aspects of his complex and many- sided work? To which of the very different Piagets do we owe the most important contributions: to Piaget the biologist, Piaget the epistemologist or Piaget the psychologist? or are we particularly indebted to the educational ‘politician’?—as one might call Piaget in his capacity as Director of the International Bureau of Education.

Abstract. We focus on integrating developmentally appropriate practices, the project approach of Reggio Emilia, and a behavior analytic model to support a quality preschool environment. While the above practices often are considered incompatible, we have found substantial overlap and room for integration of these perspectives in practical application. With the growing number ofchildren with disabilities and challenging behaviors in regula.T preschool classrooms, it is essential for early childhood teachers to have the skills to identify and help all learners. lf children do not have the competencies to listen, observe, participate, talk, and problem solve, then they cannot function in a developmentally appropri­ ate classroom or go beyond their developmental potentials. Imagine the scenario-Jean Piaget (1937, among philosophies, or can they integrate 1955, 1962, 1971, 2000) and B. F.

  • 3. Main Theories on Acquisition and Development Del Language. 3.1 Learning Theories: Watson and Skinner Operant Conditioning B
    SEC 3 Page 1 of 9 3. MAIN THEORIES ON ACQUISITION AND DEVELOPMENT DEL LANGUAGE. 3.1 LEARNING THEORIES: WATSON AND SKINNER OPERANT CONDITIONING By the 1920s John B. Watson had left academic psychology and other behaviorists were becoming influential, proposing new forms of learning other than classical conditioning. Perhaps the most important of these was Burrhus Frederic Skinner; Although, for obvious reasons he is more commonly known as B.F. Skinner. Skinner's views were slightly less extreme than those of Watson. Skinner believed that we do have such a thing as a mind, but that it is simply more productive to study observable behavior rather than internal mental events. Skinner believed that the best way to understand behavior is to look at the causes of an action and its consequences. He called this approach operant conditioning. Skinner's theory of operant conditioning was based on the work of Thorndike (1905). Edward Thorndike studied learning in animals using a puzzle box to propose the theory known as the 'Law of Effect'. BF Skinner: Operant Conditioning Skinner is regarded as the father of Operant Conditioning, but his work was based on Thorndike’s law of effect. Skinner introduced a new term into the Law of Effect - Reinforcement. Behavior which is reinforced tends to be repeated (i.e. strengthened); behavior which is not reinforced tends to die out-or be extinguished (i.e. weakened). Skinner (1948) studied operant conditioning by conducting experiments using animals which he placed in a “Skinner Box” which was similar to Thorndike’s puzzle box. B.F.

The two men had simjJar lives, as they were born in the same year and had similar types of life experiences. However, their theories of child cognitive development had major dilferences. One major difference is Piaget's individualistic approach and Vygotsky's collectivist ap- proach. Vygotsky's strong cultural ties influenced his conclusion that culture influences child development, and Piaget's lonely child- l1ood influenced his conclusion that most child development is due , to individual cognitive processes. These differences are strongly re- lated to their upbringing and early life experiences and showcase the reasons why two similar men took two different approaches to constructivism. Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky: How Family and Culture Influenced their Theories Both Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky proposed revolutionary theories in the realm of developmental psychology. Many have pointed out the obviOlLS similarities behYeen both of their theories, particularly focusing on cognitive development and the acquisition of cognitive abilities (Pass, 2004). One could even argue that you cannot talk - about Piaget without bringing up Vygotsky, or vice versa. Aside from the similarities in their work, there are a Jong list of similari- ties in their Jives as well. However, it is far more crucial to acknowl- edge the conceptual differences in their theories a11d the potential environmental influences on the h,•o men, as it pertains to their development of their respective theories.

  • Cognitive Development
    Cognitive development Definition Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem solving, and decision-making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood. Description It was once believed that infants lacked the ability to think or form complex ideas and remained without cognition until they learned language. It is now known that babies are aware of their surroundings and interested in exploration from the time they are born. From birth, babies begin to actively learn. They gather, sort, and process information from around them, using the data to develop perception and thinking skills. Cognitive development refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains understanding of his or her world through the interaction of genetic and learned factors. Among the areas of cognitive development are information processing, intelligence , reasoning, language development , and memory. Historically, the cognitive development of children has been studied in a variety of ways. The oldest is through intelligence tests, such as the widely used Stanford Binet Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test first adopted for use in the United States by psychologist Lewis Terman (1877–1956) in 1916 from a French model pioneered in 1905. IQ scoring is based on the concept of "mental age," according to which the scores of a child of average intelligence match his or her age, while a gifted child's performance is comparable to that of an older child, and a slow learner's scores are similar to those of a younger child. IQ tests are widely used in the United States, but they have come under increasing criticism for defining intelligence too narrowly and for being biased with regard to race and gender.

  • Chapter 14. MODELS of COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT: PIAGET AND
    264 CHAPTER 14: MODELS OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT: PIAGET AND PERRY TEACHING ENGINEERING CHAPTER 14 MODELS OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT: PIAGET AND PERRY We will focus on the two theories of development which have been the most influential in the education of scientists and engineers: Piaget’s theories of childhood development and Perry’s theory of development of college students. To some extent they are complementary as both focus on different aspects of development, and since both Piaget and Perry discuss how students learn, this material ties in with Chapter 15. These theories are important since they speak to what we can teach students and to where we want students to be when they graduate. Both theories postulate that students cannot learn material if they have not reached a particular level of development. Attempts to teach them material which they are unable to learn leads to frustration and memorization. As engineering students become more heterogeneous, the levels of student development in classrooms will also become more heterogeneous. Thus, it is becoming increasingly important to understand the levels at which different students function. 14.1. PIAGET’S THEORY Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist whose research on the development of children has profoundly affected psychological theories of development and of the teaching of children. His theory has also been widely studied for its application to the teaching of science in grade school, high school, and college. Unfortunately, Piaget’s writings tend to be somewhat obscure. We will present a significantly edited version focusing on those aspects of his theory which affect engineering education.
