Question

use the information in chapter one to complete it ( in case you do not have the book, i post a picture). write a few sentences in each box explaining the extent to which the statements in the left column apply to each of the theories. thank you!

Themes and theories Constructivism (Piaget) Social constructivism (Vygotsky) Bioecological systems theory (Bronfenbrenner) nta The environment plays an important role in development Innate factors drive development Development follows a smooth continuous path ning and Providing the right experiences in early childhood is critical for optimal development. elp Even as adults we can develop higher critical thinking skills. Interacting with others can promote our development. Children are active in their own development Skill builder review This task requires you to extract information from within the text and reorganise it Because you need to find information from different areas of the chapter, the task encourages you to learn independently. You are also able to develop your written communication as you have to summarise in your own words how the key themes a dealt with by these three key theories.

Answer 1

	Piaget	Vygotsky	Bronfenbrenner
	Assimilation and accommodation is a part of cognitive development that gets its base from the environment.	ZPD and scaffolding help a child to learn from its environment.	According to the theory, we create our own environment and learn from it to develop a particular environment.
	Piaget believes that a child born with some innate abilities which help to learn and acquire new information.	Social development not only works with social construct but also with innate abilities because without it the child will not be able to experience acquisition.	Sensation, memory, physical interactions help a child to learn from the environment. The sensation is an innate ability while perception is a learned ability.
	Every stage of development based on the last stage and continuous development process strengthens memory and learning.	The process of development follows social acquisition that helps to go on a particular path with other abilities.	Every biological stage of development is responsible for a particular development such as social development in childhood or emotional development in adolescence.
	The sensory-motor stage is a primary stage, at this stage, the development process decides next stage acquisition.	Early childhood social support develops the stage of trust or mistrust and opens the primary path to learn from social structure.	Biological abilities help a person to achieve an optimal level of learning, development is early childhood supports whole life.
	The formal operational stage is related to the ability of critical thinking but the last three stages of development are responsible to develop the innate capacity to learn and think critically.	Critical thinking ability comes from social learning because we live in a social structure and our thought process gets affected by these social factors.	As soon as mental and physiological abilities grow a person becomes able to think critically but the process of critical thinking does not completely depend on biological abilities.
	Piaget suggested that social interactions are the key part of cognitive development because it develops thinking, decision making and problem-solving abilities.	Lev Vygotsky clearly emphasized the social interactions for the process of learning and development. Social interactions support social, moral, ethical and ideological development as well as language.	Proper physical development helps a child to feel confident during social interactions, it is also an essential part of personality development.
	Piaget considered every child, curious, active, and creative and curious to learn new things because of innate abilities and needs.	Naturally, every child is born to learn and interact with others, social help and support confirm the development of this ability.	Biological activeness in an innate ability that gets support from nurture, an active child shows good physiological and mental health, important for multiphasic development.
