My View of Piage/Vygotsky/Kohlberg
EDSC 4322 Human Development & Instruction
Summer, 2008
I was really amazed with how much there is to understanding the minds of children and what it takes for us to get to adult hood. Today’s lecture was the most informative topic that I have had in a few years. Most of the other education courses do not go into much detail as this course did today. Every topic that we went over today made complete sense as to the behaviors that occur during the process of growing up.
The way that young children analyze certain scenarios was the most fascinating for me. I'm always around children but only found it cute or amusing when they did something or said something cute. Now after learning and understanding the cognitive areas of the way they learn and process information I will take more consideration into making sure they understand the why part of life. This stage is the most important because this is what helps them develop into the next stages. I agree with Piaget's theories and look forward to learning more about these topics.—Lisa Avalos
Well today was a very busy day so I can’t just focus on one thing. Today we learned about Piaget and his research on Cognitive Development and we learned that he classified our learning habits into two categories and those are Assimilation and Accommodation. The difference between the two is that Assimilation is applying new information to an old scheme. The example that was used was a child looking an Eagle and saying it was a bird. Accommodation is getting new information and applying it to a brand new scheme. The example used in class was a child looking at a butterfly and saying it was a bird. The parent corrected the child and said new that is a butterfly. So now the child has a new scheme which is butterfly and now knows the difference between the two.
We also learned about Piaget’s Developmental Stages which are Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and lastly Formal Operational. These stages show how at each age a child thinks and why they think that why. It was very interesting to picture why children think the way they do. What helped me bring all the information together were the videos we watched. Those really made an impact on the information we received today. That is a little summary of a lot of information.—Luis A. Carmona
It's official, we got though the first week of class. It’s so sad that it will almost be over. I’m actually enjoying this class quite well. I feel like I’m learning so much in such a little time, but this class is very personal. Sometimes I hate talking about things like that especially with people that I just met, but these people are so cozy to talk to. I feel very comfortable around them and they are very open- minded.

We have been talking about Erikson’s, Piaget’s, and Vygotsky’s stages. I can see where a little bit of me is in each and every one of them. The videos we saw today were very interesting. I really like the one with the little girl and the quarters. It was so funny and cute. You can really see the difference in the stages of these students. I’m sure I would have thought the same way when I was younger about the juice in the taller glass. I guess in middle school or even in your late elementary stages you would figure that out.

In our story about Dr. Fan, I thought that she was being a little too hard on Lisa. I would understand if it was a process Lisa would go through all the time, then I would be strict as well. I never really thought of how professors think that when it comes to the time of midterms, everyone’s grandma dies. I guess plenty of students use that excuse, but I do think that some sort of documentation would be very helpful.—Vanessa A. Lopez

I learned in class about moral development. Kohlberg has set six stages of moral developments. I can relate with the Preconventional Stage and the Conventional Stage. The Preconventional stage is when you avoid punishment and to receive benefits in return. The Conventional Stage is when you want to impress others, and how you respect authority.

I can relate with these two stages. As a child I was afraid of my father because he was very strict and I tried to always behave. I did not want to be punished therefore I always behaved. I also tried to be a good girl because I was trying to impress my parents. It was always hard to impress my parents because they barely put any attention to me because we were too many. I have six sisters and two brothers and my parents could barely keep up with all of us. Not only did I want to impress my parents but I also competed for my parents’ attention.—Noelia Jimenez
Kohlberg six stages of moral development was an interesting topic of this class session. Here we learned about 3 parts of the stages: preconventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Through these three parts, they were all broken into two stages of their own.
First, the preconventional that consisted of punishment/obedience and instrumental relativist. The focus in this area, is to avoid punishment as much as possible in return, good behavior is rewarded.
Second, the conventional part of moral development through good boy/nice girl and law/order. This stage tends to emphasis the williness to impress others and to respect authority. I think that I fall into this stage since my military background emphasizes on following the rules.
Finally, the post-conventional part of moral development through social contract/ universal ethical principle. Pretty much what this is mutually agreeing to get things done. There are very few of these people which make me want to be a part of. I do not side with things that are popular since they might include not acknowledging one’s errors.
I could learn a lot about myself from Kohlberg’s six stages and use some of the other developments that Vygotsky and Piaget introduced. Through these stages, it answers some of our questions, I know mine, about our upbringings and how we are the same. (Eleazar Castro)
