One of the child development theories?

Answer 1

There are many theories of child development .The one I think that rings true are the theories of Jean Piaget. He was a researcher who worked with Binet to develop the IQ test and one of the things he noticed that children at certain ages gave the same answers for the same things. This got him to thinking that the brain develops at different stages so he came up with a series of ages that match brain development of the child. He also divided learning into stages from birth through to teens. I have tried some of his small experiments with children and he was right on target when he said that a child under the age of one of stages couldn't do something. Over and over through the years I have seen how his theory has tested out with the children I have taught. A more recent researcher Howard Gardner has a new brain theory. He runs a school at Harvard called Project Zero. In addressing school reform issues the brain based theory researcher attempts to define learning styles of students to revel how the students differ in how they learn. It is reasoned that if students with problems are taught with methods that complement their learning styles that learning will increase.

Answer 2

One of the child development theories is Piaget's theory of cognitive development. This theory describes how children's thinking evolves through different stages, from sensorimotor to formal operational. It emphasizes the role of exploration and interaction with the environment in shaping a child's understanding of the world.
