Piaget and Vygotsky

Piaget believed that children actively build their knowledge through

• active exploration and interaction with the environment
• listening to lectures
• passive observation of others
• memorization of facts

Lev Vygotsky believed children's cognitive development came through

• biological maturation and instinctual drives
• social interactions and cultural experiences
• individual learning and personal experiences
• passive observation and imitation

Piaget believed children developed through how many stages of development

• four
• six
• five
• three

According to Piaget, the stages of cognitive development were

• Cognitive, Behavioral, Emotional, Social
• Preoperational, Abstract, Logical, Reflective
• Sensory, Imaginative, Practical, Theoretical
• Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, Formal Operational

Which stage of Piaget's cognitive development are the majority of the students we are working with at Wayne Hills currently inhabiting

• Formal Operational Stage
• Concrete Operational Stage
• Sensorimotor Stage
• Preoperational Stage

 Piaget emphasized that development is a personal journey. He believed that children progress through these stages individually, and the stages are universal—meaning all kids go through the same stages, but at different ages. What is this known as?

• Exact Time Programming

• Multiple Chance Theory

• All For One and One For All

• Individual Process

Vygotsky believed these two things were vital to a child's cognitive development

• self-driven options and a good night's sleep

• free play and fresh air

• Social interaction, cultural tools and language

• isolation and younger siblings

This emphasizes the importance of support and collaboration in learning. This is the range of tasks that a child can’t do alone but can do with help. For example, if a child is learning to solve a math problem, they might not be able to do it on their own, but with some guidance from a teacher or a more capable peer, they can succeed.

• Cognitive Load Theory
• Behaviorism
• Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)
• Learning Styles Theory

Thought language develops as a result of cognitive development. Kids develop cognitive skills first, then use language to express those thoughts. Who believed this?

• Piaget

• Vygotsky

• Piaget said that as kids encounter new information, they either assimilate (take in info and understand fully) it into their existing ideas or accommodate (fit in with the desires or needs of something) by changing their ideas to fit the new information. This is known as

• Solitary Confinement

• Developmental Tasking

• Moralism

• Constructivism
