Piaget ---->
or
Vygotsky
Both being Extremely talented.. But who Are they...Well Piaget considered himself as a "genetic" epistemologist. He was all about the way children think and all the "stages" of learning. He made 4 stages
Stage one- -> Sensorimotor Stage (birth to 2 years) : A stage where children integrate sensory experiences with motor actions
Stage two- -> Preoperational Stage (2-7 years) : Where kids begin there world full of words and images.
Stage three- -> Concrete Operational Stage (7-11 years) : Where kids seem to become older than they are and "classify objects into different sets".
Stage 4- -> Formal Operational Stage (11-15 years) :Where kids finally start reasoning with more abstract , idealistic, and logical
way
And then there was... Vygotsky
And his view... Zone of Proximal Development
What is ZPD???? Well text book states " The range of tasks that are too difficult for children to master alone but can be learned with guidance and assistance from adults or skilled peers. All about scaffolding ( a technique of changing the learning criteria depending on the learners progress).
My own opinion I believe in a little bit of both. In some situations your put into to your going to have to have a mixture of both ideas. With assisting say a 10 year old we can investigate the label that Piaget would have placed on this kid and then further assist them with scaffolding and Zygotsky's theories.
