Developmental Psychology in a 2nd class classroom
  1. Skinner
    1. Operant Conditioning
      1. The relationship between a behaviour and a consequence and the way in which consequences have the ability to determine whether or not particular behaviours are repeated e.g. Skinner Box: Pigeon repeated action in which she received food (positive) and stopped actions in which she got shocked (negative)
      2. Use in Classroom
        1. Use of reinforcement and punishment, both positive and negative e.g. Positive reinforment would be giving a child a gold starif homework was completed well. Negative punishment would be child is not aloud become teachers helper this week as homework was not completed well.
      3. Pavlov & Watson
        1. Classical Conditioning
          1. The relationship between a specific stimulus to a reaction e.g. linking furry animals with a loud bang to make a child cry (Watson)
          2. Use in Classroom
            1. Teacher can link a loud noise, like the sound of a Tibetan bowl, to the children being quiet. Before conditioning teacher would ask children to be quiet. During conditioning teacher would ask children to be quiet and hit the bowl. After conditioning teacher would just hit the bowl and the children would be quiet.
          3. Erikson
            1. Use in Classroom
              1. Encourage the children to try new skills and encourage throughout the lesson. The use of positive language is key even when correcting mistakes e.g. "You will get it the next time"
              2. Psychosocial Theory
                1. Stage 4 Industry vs Inferiority: Child develops perseverance with new skills and then a competency of these new skills. If this compentancy does not emerge then the child begins to compare themselves to other children and lose confidence.
              3. Vygotsky
                1. Use in Classroom
                  1. Scaffold the child's learning by providing prompts, tasks or sentence starters. Group work or paired work is encouraged between children of different levels so that the ZPD is activated.
                  2. Sociocultural Theory
                    1. "Child as an apprentice", children learn off more-able others. Social interaction plays a key role in children's learning. The Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) Is the area between the child’s current development level “as determined by independent problem solving” and the level of development that the child could achieve “through adult guidance or in collaboration with more capable peers” (Vygotsky 1978, p.86).
                  3. Piaget
                    1. Cognitive Development Theory
                      1. Stage 3 Concrete Operational: "Child as a scientist", children explore and learn through their environment. Logical thinking has developed, however, abstract reasoning is yet to develop.
                      2. Use in Classroom
                        1. Teachers should use concrete materials such as Dien's blocks, unifix cubes, counters or visual aids for a hands-on experience. Instructions to be kept short and simple.
                      3. Bandura
                        1. Use in Classroom
                          1. Teach by Example. Use modelling to demonstrate new skills showing exactly how tasks are performed. Model pro-social behaviour at all times.
                          2. Social Learning Theory
                            1. Behaviour is learned through the observation of others and the social influences impacting the child. Children imitate models like parents, siblings, teachers and TV stars and implement their behaviours as their own. Four factors influencing observational learning are attention, retention, reproduction and motivation.
                          3. Bronfenbrenner
                            1. Use in Classroom
                              1. The school is on the microsystem level of a child's life therefore teachers have to act as role models for the children under their care. Teachers must also cater lessons toward the stages of development the children are on in order to create the most effective learning environment.
                              2. Ecological Systems Theory
                                1. A child develops within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple levels of the surrounding environment. Levels are microsystem, mesosystem, exosystem and macrosystem.
                              3. Physcial
                                1. Use in Classroom
                                  1. Physical Development is extremely important in the classroom. Physical activity should be incorporated into as many lessons as possible. Physical Education should be fun and demanding. Teacher should encourage every child to try the physical activity. Helps children both physically and socially.
