Conservation
Children have difficulty understanding that
changing the
appearance does not change its
properties
this is the idea that inharet proberty should stay the same no
matter the cusement.
for example mass in going to stay the same
if you have two equal masses between two items. if you change the
appearance of the item that does not mean that the mass adumaticlly
changea, they stay the same. samething with numbers and liquides
Why do they perform poorly?
¨ Centration
¨ Only focus on
one feature
this is because they are only fouse on 1 aspact of contect or what feture of what we are looking at. so for the mass example the feature we are focusing on is liquide. that one feture is domenating that cognative engergie
Why do they perform poorly? ¨ Irreversibility ¨ Unable to think backwards logically
we also know that kids have a hard time thinking backwards. which is called irreversibilty. so even though we saw the kid couting out each individual anemal crakers he was not tinking back to what he was couting out, he was centrating on one aspact, which was the little line presented by the anemal crakers and alot of times kids use there hands and gestury to help them explin what they think.
In the classic Piagetian conservation of liquid task,
Jabar
focuses on the height of the glass. Jabar’s
thinking is
characterized by:
Centration
Angie asks her grandmother over the phone, “Do you
like my new
shirt that I am wearing?” This is an
example of:
Egocentrism
mathematical reasoning
mathematical re Ordinality: understand ordering of numbers but
not meaning (until ~3 years
Cardinality
: understand last number indicates
quantity in what was counted
¤ Counting 3.5-4 years , Addition 4+ years
when we are thinking about 1st and 2end grade these mathmatetical concepts starts to rave up or ising addtion or subraction those skills develop around 4 or 4 in half
the bases of mathmality is the understanding of number fall in destinged order but kids have a hard time understanding the meaning of the numbers. that number repersent the amount of somthing
ordinality
around 3 and 3 in half they are going to start to understand that numbers refer to a mose. but is going to take alot of practice to master that
cardinality
these is whenwe uderstand the last number that we count intocates the quietity or the amound that was counted. we can counnt effecshilty 3.5 or 4. we can start adding and subtracting.
assisn numbers values from a number line to an objecuct asoning

Approaches to Early Education
Academic programs
¤ Teacher role: Transmitter of
knowledge
¤ Student role: Receiver of information
¤
Activities: Lecture, demonstration, seatwork, tests
in early childhood education we are looking at academic program and chid-centerd progames
academic program is more triditional more fidiral funded program, daycare, the teacher is very much in control of the classroom, there are trasmitting the kowlege, the student is expected to resive the kowlege or to sit and lesson.
we are very fimilier with the acadic program in collge. you sit in lagture and you resive what ever the lecture is talking about.
so for kids that can be boring but for college students you are better eqwipt to sit for exsimpt for this amount of time. you are better eqwipt to hold your attention. depeding how you are strucured acedimiclly program it could be stekey to get your kids to payattention. this is how public education is set up even with younger grade
child-centerd prorams the teacher is very nice or a cowaprative resourse. the student is able to construct there own lowlage trough exporation cowapration ans self-reglation. so this relates to cognative.
so how do you know you need time by yourself vs how do you know when you are interjectic and have to work with the froup . how do you know to rise your hand before specking when is quit . all of that stuff is assisted trtough this program
our activites here we are woking with alot of people, we are exploring doing hands on actives and there is alot of play time.
with this child centerd programs play is part of the clulicum, espshilly for daycare preschool educators
Academic V. Child-centered
Academic Programs
¤ Similar to public education
structures
¤ Can be federally funded
¨ Child-Centered
Programs
¤ Montessori
¤ Outdoor Education/Nature schools
¤ Waldorf
¤ Reggio Emilia
Problems with
Substandard Early Childhood Education
What qualities as substandard?
¤ Many students for each
teacher
¤ Low teacher qualification
¤ Low parent
involvement
¤ Low enrichment
¨ Problems
¤ Lower social
skills
¤ Lower cognitive skills
¤ Higher behavioral problems
Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory
Initiative vs. guilt (3-6 years)
Crisis: Activity planning/Goal setting/Exploration
the ability for kids to start to explore. they plan out in what they want to do, how do they set goals.
alot of childhood memories can include the games you made up, questions you may ask that you have. being creative function to address many things about the world. so the question of why.
the kids are taking enashive with there abilities. they are pertty much well developed interms of there motor skills. they are able to walk, talk and write. all of these are starding to get developed or they are already developed
Development of the Self
Use concrete terms to describe self
¤ Physical features
¤
Physical abilities
¤ Preferences
¤ Possessions
¤ Social
relationships
¨ Unrealistically positive
¤ Self-esteem
emerges in early childhood
when kids start to talk about themselves they are going to use concrete terms. asking them quetion about what they like and who they are. they are going to respont pertty consincty.
for example, i am natily
i like perate and ice cream.
i have a brother or a sister
so they are apresing positions that they have, meterial, charetristic phisical traties ability as will as there social rules
we also know kids betwen 3 and 6 are unrealistically positiv about the world. there mostly are potivitive because they have not yet developed the concept of self-esteem. and we are also thinking about the development of complex emotions. we are incuding pride, gluit and sham along side there ability to maintain self-stem.
the younger we are the less expreince we have with embarsing moments or feeling anaquwit, feeling not as smart as sombody ealse
this will emarge in early cildhood we are going to start supper confident, but that confedent decress as we get older, eapeshilly into adelession
Gender
Toddlerhood (18-36 months)
nGender identity emerges
nImage
of oneself as relatively masculine
or feminine
this is moving in a mix of cognative, socility driven development.
so in toddlerhood age 2 to about age 3 or 4 gender identity begain to imarge.
do you view yourself as a girl or as a boy. what trates do you asocite yourself with gender
once gender idenity can be diffrent or the same at there sex assighnd at berith
this is a cognative, conceptual, and percptual idea of how you are on a begger depise
gender typing emerges
nGender typing emerges
nAssociation of objects/roles/traits with
gender
this is diffrent from gender identity in terms of genral sociatla expectation for conception.
this is were we associate things as reletaively masklen or fininam. it can be jobs, clothing, social rules apperrance. how does things relate to the gendr spectrum that we have.
we are aquiring and also interizing the gender expectations that exsist within our citure or community or socity
alot of times kids ae aquireing this gender typing abiility trough there interactions with family members, peers nd media.
so what they are consuming beiound what they are just lessoing too
Early childhood (3-6 years)
nGender typing
strengthens
n"I am a boy and I like trucks"
once kids understand more about gender steriotypes. they tent to associate there gender into the things that they like and also corate that with sterio tippiclly
Gender constancy
End of early childhood (~6-7 years)
nGender constancy
emerges
nE.g., cutting your hair doesn’t
necessarily change gender
this is the idea that traits or apperance dont nessary corenate too binagical steps
for most people bielogical sex is relaivly fixed or a stable trate.
how we think about the gender idenity specturem as reget or more fluit. really depend on our socialization.
Peer Relationships
Peers: individuals that are approximately the
same age and
maturity
¨ Functions of peer relationships
¤
Companionship
¤ Stimulation
¤ Ego support
¤ Social comparison
we start to make freind during the pre-schhol year. wheather you are in daycare or you have siblings, naboores you are tippiclly going to make peer gruop frindes. so you peers are the same age and the same level of mechority
this are very beneficial for companionship, having a botty.
freinships are also stimulating, play is ushilly envolved in these freinships.
ego support, helping us build our self-esteam or self confidance
which realtes closly to social comparison. we can begain social comparion when we enter thelarger social circle in peer groups.
this can be more prblimatic when we are in middle childhood and adelessions. the more that we compaire the lowers our self-estem gets. that depens on the person. or it keeps us in track to succed
Peer Influences
nPositive influences
n Fairness/justice
n Prosocial
behavior
n Self-control
nNegative influences
n
Delinquency
n Aggression
n Loneliness related to illness and
mental health
concerns
fairness/justice is a precorser to mortal thinking.
prosocail behavore, heliping, confrating sharing. it is easer to make friends when you are being social and trying to help out. you share and play more with others. the more idea you have the more indiviuals you hsve to heng out with.
self control you have to wite to be your turn, you have to ingage the others bersond emotions/thougts about what you are paing. this is adding the theory of mmind work we are thinking about other peopls thoughts anf feeling.
if we have a grop that has negative influces, meaning that they are more delinqwint. so they are doing things outside the norm. or they are acting in there aggrsive ways. wether that is hurting another child or is goceping, name calling tezein.
how would that lead to social seccess . will it can lead to fewr frinships. the more non-conferming you are at least in terms of behavires. sometimes the less likely you are to maintain those close freinships. this can lead to loneliness.
we know that longlyness reales to mental health outcomes, egsity and depration, self estemish, and then we also know this leads to acueal ficical illness. there is derect influce on health based on social support
development of play
Non-social play
Observe others or play alone
we start to play by ourselves or observing others. we are kinda are by staderds or on the side line before we actully inter the play contex.
Parallel play
Play side-by-side but do not interact
this is deping your toe in the pool. you are playing side by side with somebody ealse but you are not really interacting with them. it is more that you are sharing the space
Associative play
Play with same or separate items while
interacting
this is were you really start to work with the person next to you, we want to talk with them, but we may be playing with separate ideams .
in pre-school classrooms they are tepiclly very loud because children are in opposite ends of the side of the room, but they still want to talk with one another. they end up yelleing at one another and letting each other know what is going on
Cooperative play
Children play together for a common goal
children playing togther for a common goal. so we are thinking a soccore game. we are thinking or tag, or borad game they have to work togther. and often they are communicaing. this is were social gematic play comes in when kids are making up games and telling each other what to do vs cowaprative
Sarah and Lila are playing next to each other.
Sarah is pushing
a truck and Lila is feeding a
doll. Lila talks to Sarah about her
truck and
Sarah asks Lila about her doll’s name. What
kind
of play is this?
Associative
In your opinion, is morality innate or learned? In
other words,
do people have an innate sense of right
and wrong, or must they
be taught the difference?
A. Innate
B. Learned
do you think morality is innate , are we born with moality or is it learned. do learn about morality. in other words do we have a imporant sense of right and wrong or do they have to be thought the diffrance
Piaget: The first moral
developmental psychologist
Focus on cognitive development
¨ Stage theory
(discontinuous)
¨ Source:
¤ Children develop
morality
through peer interactions
chilren develop this thinking structure throught everyday interaction. so by playing with other kids theory.
so when you were a kid were there other kids who push you in place in terms of what is fear in a game. you are a rule keaper, or the rule keeper, or the kept
we are thinking about how are those interactions shape how we think about right vs wrong
How did Piaget assess children’s moral reasoning? (hint: did he use a story?
A little boy who is called John is
in his room. He is called
to
dinner. He goes into the dining
room, but behind the door
is a
chair and on the chair is a tray of
15 cups. The boy
did not know
the cups were there, but when he
opens the door
he knocks the tray
and the cups fall and all break!
Once there was a little boy
whose name was Henry. One
day
while his mother was out
he tried to get some jam out of
the
cupboard. He climbed up
on to a chair and stretched out
his
arm. But the jam was up
too high and he couldn’t react
it
and have any. While he was
trying to get it, he knocked
over
a cup. The cup fell down
and broke.
who is naughtier
john or henry
the userstaing the perpisive vs accsited. what was intenchiakl and not intenchinal. john accted on acsedent. heanry does have intention of what he wants to get.
when we think about our 4 years old. kids think about how much
damege can occure. it is refering back to our conversitaion about
coversetion. piages pre- occptional stage kids focuse on one senarial
to make there jujgments. we were talking about play-doug, there were
two equal sides spears of play dough and then one gets roled out is
the same amount of play dough. but kids are foucing on will now that
is longer so it has more. same thing hear. but it is with mortal
reasoning. will john is way worsh because he brock the cups. even if
it was an accsedent
kids are focesing on one aspect which is sentaration
