Have you ever wondered how students learn? Well, there are many learning theorists that have proposed the process in which one acquires new knowledge and each one significantly contributes to the process of cognitive development. Read Chapter 2 of our text to gain a greater understanding of cognitive development that provides teachers with the knowledge of creating developmentally appropriate practices in the classroom. In analyzing the implications of cognitive development on student learning, choose one of the following questions:
a. Describe Piaget's answers for the primary biological questions he asked: How do children adapt? How can development be classified? Next, share whether or not you agree with Piaget. Then, describe the value for teachers in understanding Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development. Apply this to your own role as a future educator.
b. Give an example of what is meant by Vygotsky's zone of proximal development (ZPD). Explain how your example fully illustrates your understanding of ZPD. Also, describe at least two educational implications of this concept. Use the concept of scaffolding in your answer.
Guided Response: As you read the responses of your classmates, consider how theories of cognitive development are important for teachers to know when working with their students. Respond to at least two of your classmates with an analysis of their examples and consider possible limitations with either Piaget's or Vygotsky's theories. Be sure to ask for clarification if you find a particular aspect of another post confusing or not fully-developed. Be sure to respond to any queries or comments posted by your instructor.
