My View on Piage/Vygotsky/Kohlberg
EDCI 4322 Human Development & Instruction
Summer, 2008
Today in class I learned about Piaget: Developmental Stages which are the following sensor motor, preoperational, concrete operational, and forma operational. All of these stages are excellent to know about and know how to apply it to different age groups.
.
The one that I liked the most was the Pre-operational stage because children response illogically and sometimes we as adults do not pay attention to their responses. What I really liked was the videos that the professor showed us in class, when they were doing experiments with the water. It was funny how the toddles would response to the questions about which cup or pitcher had more water in it. And when the same experiment was done to a different age group the students responded more mature and thought about the question. This stage is the concrete operation during this stage they think more logically, but generalize only from concrete experiences.
.
I also learned about Vygotsky cognitive development and I really believe that culture does affect learning, because if someone comes to the United States from another country and their native language is not English, they might have problems understanding the concept of a lesson taught in class. Language is very important because it facilitates learning, and those that feel confident about the language spoken have a more outgoing personality and are not afraid of responding questions and challenges. Today’s class was very interesting and we learned different theories on how to deal with different age people.-- Diamantina Chavez
I think today lesson was very interesting. I really find Erikson’s, Piaget’s, and Vygotsky’s different stages of development very appealing. What I find interesting is comparing their theories and what they say to my self and the way I used to be when I was a child.

Now, knowing all these new information and stages I am probably going to look at children in a different way. The video clips about objective permanence and perceptual centration made me see things and realize facts that I never thought of before. It was funny to see the children’s reactions and being able to identify their different stages. I believe this knowledge will definitely help me in the future, as a teacher, to understand my students better and help them with their different needs.—Erika De La Garza
Today’s class was interesting; we continued talking about the theories of Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, and Kohlberg. What I found very interesting was Piaget’s Developmental Stages. I think that it is true and it applies to almost every person; almost everyone goes through these stages at certain age although some go through these stages earlier or after, still is something that has to happen in their lives.

I liked the videos that were shown in class as examples of the perceptual centration under the preoperational stage, and I found it very interesting how children at this stage focus on one aspect and do not think logically, and how they are unable to see other person’s perspective. Another one was the object permanence under the sensorimotor stage, where we could see how the child’s brain does not have knowledge of how if you hide an object it is still there but out of sight; still the child does not have awareness of this and thinks the object has disappeared.
I found these stages very interesting and I look forward to learn more about the theories so that I can apply them in my future teaching.—Kesia Martinez
Well today was another great class we shared. Today’s class we reviewed again about the theories of cognitive development. I find this topic very interesting because a lot of the information these theorist researched is true. I got to understand why kids sometimes just don’t understand certain things.
.
The theory of Kohlberg I really enjoyed learning about. It made me reflect on my own life and why I was the I was in certain age levels. I also got to learn a little more on moral development. I thought about mthe differences we have as parents my husband and I. What I was really was touched by from today’s class was what Dr. Boyanton shared with us today. I was glad she shared with us this hard and sad story of her sister. It made me really understand Piaget’s theory of moral realism vs moral relativism. I thank Dr. Boyanton for always sharing her inner thoughts and experiences with the class.

I really enjoy this class so much that we sometimes have so much more to share and then by the time you know it is 4:15 already.—Margarita Trevino
