observed their behavior toward other adolescents in the mall. After my observation was complete, I recorded the behavior I had seen and compared it to several developmental theories and stages. According to the German-American developmental psychologist and psychoanalyst Erik Erikson, Melinda is in the ''adolescence'' stage. This stage consists of individuals between the ages of 12 and 18. Erik Erikson's theory is comprised
1. Erik Erikson and Jean Piaget were both influential theorists focusing on child development in the mid-twentieth century. Both of these theorists described maturation as discontinuous development. On page 8, Berk defines discontinuous development as "a process in which new ways of understanding and responding to the world emerge at specific times." Erikson and Piaget use stages to express their theories. Erikson's theory contains eight stages, while Piaget's contains four stages. Both theorists
change our mood, improve our relationships, decrease our anxiety and so on. Thoughts have a huge effect on a person's personality. One can quit smoking, make new friends, solve problems, enjoy jobs and more. Jean Piaget's Cognitive Developmental Theory Piaget produced a stage theory of development which states that as a child develops, the mind undergoes series of reorganizations. And a child moves into a higher level of psychological functioning with each reorganization. The goal of the theory is to explain
These are some of the different theories and approaches to playwork: Piaget is a cognitive constructivist theorist who believed that development occurred in stages with children using play in order to practice what they have learnt. Bruner who was an influential theorist in the area of language development thought that children learn by doing and that play is how children are able to practice what they already know and then expand upon that, becoming more able and adept as they grow and develop
like example Cody is a 4 years old boy and today is his first day of school at kindergarten. He likes to be stay alone since he is the an only child in the family, but day by day Cody able to start interaction with teacher and peers to solve every problem that he face.

change into other types of play between the ages of 10 and 12 years. When children are playing pretend, they are playing appearing as if something or someone is real, creating a situation as if there is more going on than what is literally happening. Examples of pretend play would include; playing “mom and dad”, play shopping, play cooking, and playing dress-up. Pretend play can be seen as a thinking skill, as children have to understand the meaning of what is happening. This type of play can be seen
Behaviorist view observable behavior as an important subject matter in its own right and avoid interpreting behavior as a sign of some other psychological phenomenon as other psychological systems. Constructivism draws on the developmental work of Piaget (1977)
story-telling session. The observation includes observing the students verbal and non-verbal cues such as asking a question at an unfamiliar word or frowning (perhaps from lack of understanding). After all the four books are completed, the teacher will use 10 flash cards to test the student’s memory on some of the vocabulary used throughout all the story sessions. The flash cards are divided into two categories; pictures of reduplication words and pictures without reduplication. For example, a picture of a
John Dewey, Lev Vygotsky and Jean Piaget who spoke about their outlooks also supported the principle behind this method that discovery learning identities students as active participants in the teaching-learning process by their self exploration and self driven questioning technique (Dewey, 1916; Piaget, 1954). The literal meaning of Discovery springs up from the basic psychological principle of ‘Learning by Doing’.
