Early Childhood Education: identify the type of school and practices of Piaget and Vygotsky.
Patrick’s father wants his boy to learn to print his name and Patrick’s mom wants him to develop self-confidence. During their visit to the preschool Patrick’s parents watch a group making cookies. A parent volunteer assists as needed, talking the children through the steps. The director tells Patrick’s parents that the approach is to make many materials available but the teachers do not force activities. The students are given plenty of options and make their own choices and learn from their exploratory play.
In the case of Vygotsky, we would look for assisted learning and intersubjectivity
social interaction must have intersubjectivity to form a common ground of communication necessary to work together
By only assisting Patrick as needed when making cookies, the preschool is promoting scaffolding
In the case of Piaget, we would look for discovery learning which includes a range of developmental appropriate materials
There is evidence of discovery learning in that the children learn from exploratory and non-forced play
The school is very child centered opposed to parent centered
The mother is most likely to be happy
The dad is likely unhappy because the school is not academic with structured programs guaranteed to cover name printing
Language: identify some of the common linguistic processes in the example below.
Regina and her mom are the in grocery store and Regina says “I get presents? Daddy buyed me presents at store.” Her mom says “No, this is a grocery store.” As her mother selects a box of cereal, Regina says “That’s a box” and her mother replies “This is cereal”. Regina then labels the next box put in the cart as “more cereal” and her mother says “No, those are crackers.” When her dad asks what she did that day, Regina says “We goed to the grossree store.” Her dad asks: “Did you get any presents at the grocery store?” and Regina gives him a funny look and says: “No daddy, you gots to buy cereals to eat.”
Regina demonstrates fast mapping—quickly repeating the word with assigned meaning—when she replies cereal and labels next box cereal
Regina demonstrates script memory—recalling routines and predicts—when she tells her father buy boxes to eat
Regina shows autobiographical memory—self defining personal memory—when she says “I get presents at the store”
Regina demonstrates over-regularization—the misapplication of grammar rules to irregular verbs—when she says “goed” and “buyed”
