7 Major Theories

Sociocultural

"In some cases, sociocultural theorists have taken for granted that children learn important skills simply by taking part in an activity, whereas in reality, some children merely go through the motions without becoming accountable for their share of task completion"

Lev Vygotsky

"Vygotsky concluded that people grow intellectually by taking part in routine activities and gradually assuming higher levels of responsibility for their completion"

Developmental

"With so many factors at play in a developmental system, it is not always a straightforward matter to portray the dynamic exchanges that allow for growth."

Urie Bronfenbrenner

"Bronfenbrenner focused on the child’s experiences in interacting in groups and demonstrated that a given characteristic, such as being born premature, had dramatically different outcomes depending on such factors as the mother’s socioeconomic status and the child’s access to a high-quality education."

Biological

"" A limitation of many early biological scientists was that they largely overlooked the effects of children’s experiences.""

Maria Montessori

Noticed that Infants are very perceptive of order in the physical world

Cognitive Process

"Cognitive process researchers can easily overlook the larger issue of why children think as they do. These approaches often neglect social-emotional factors and the contexts of children’s lives, factors that other theories treat as significant."

Robert Siegler

"Siegler has found that children spontaneously use several different strategies when first learning to complete tasks in arithmetic. "

Cognitive Development

Limitation: Performance rarely reflects the clear stages expected by cognitive developmental scholars

Jean Piaget

" suggested that taking a developmental perspective means looking sympathetically at children and understanding the logic of their thinking."

Psychodynamic

"A significant weakness of psychodynamic theories has been the difficulty in evaluating their claims with research data."

Sigmund Frued

"young children continually find themselves tornby sexual and aggressive impulses, on one hand, and desires to gain approval fromparents and others in society, on the other "

Behaviorism

" A limitation of behaviorism is that it focuses almost exclusively on actions and gives little consideration to internal thought processes."

B F Skinner

Suggested that children work for rewards such as food and praise, while actively avoiding actions that result in punishment
