I thought today’s class was very exciting, motivational, and informative. I believe it was very beneficial to begin to understand the theories that will be vital in educating students. The theories of Erikson and Piaget shed new light on how educators should approach their teaching instruction and be more knowledgeable about the learning process.
Our class was truly helpful because many of these learning theories are imperative because they assist us in finding alternative ways to improve our teaching in order to influence student performance and educational success in a positive manner. It is important as teachers that we understand our student’s personalities, environment, and stages of human development.
The reason I felt so strongly on the importance of today’s class is because the theory of cognitive development is vital in understanding how knowledge is acquired and the methods for which learning is obtained within the classroom. These theories are essential because it is our job as educators to mold our student’s education, learning experiences, and knowledge. It is vital that we find the most effective ways to help them learn, discover new objects, understand different environments, build social skills, absorb information, acquire abstract reasoning, as well as develop concrete and logical thinking.
I believe that Erikson and Piaget were very accurate on how students develop their personalities, thinking, knowledge, and behavior through various stages throughout their lives. I think we have to realize as teachers how important these stages are in a student’s educational and human development. This theory is very important because it is our role as teachers to facilitate student learning through the cycle of disequilibrium, equilibrium, and learning. We have the job of assisting them on how to understand errors, reality, new information, and the environment that surrounds them. I believe teachers must discover that these stages carve the path of a students learning, knowledge, social, as well as human development, and educational success. Through Piaget’s cognitive theory he guides us as educators on how to approach teaching. He explains that we must build our lessons on how to apply new information on top of old knowledge through the process of assimilation, accommodation, disequilibrium, and equilibrium, which will fundamentally lead to intellectual growth and a positive learning experience. One other aspect that I learned from studying Piaget’s cognitive theory is that students need to think, answer questions, understand morality, experiment, and ask questions themselves. It is important as teachers to help them gain experiences, learning, and knowledge on their own. We must plan activities that let them engage in successful learning, as well as new experiences. However, we must continue to help them intellectually grow, assess their learning, help them think logically and abstractly, as well as use the classroom environment with interactions in order to help them learn.
I also found the worksheet on “A reflection of my life” to be very informative. It helped me to realize how important our development in the educational setting is to our overall personality, intelligence, social skills, educational career, learning capabilities, academic achievement, and overall life. I believe Erikson’s theories are also extremely important because these stages of development have a huge impact on our learning and it is our responsibility as educators to make sure students have the most positive experiences while intellectually growing in the school environment. One of the most significant stages that I feel teachers must be aware of is the identity vs. inferiority stage. This is a stage where many students lose interest in learning, develop role confusion, drive away from their parents, and their educational goals begin to diminish. This is why it is vital for teachers to be interactive, involved, and to help them build the skills in order to establish a healthy human development.
It is important for teachers to be aware of these stages because we have to help students build these skills from elementary through high school. We can use our knowledge as teachers to build positive instruction that can be effective in their human development and learning success. It is imperative as educators that we understand that we are molding a student’s academic achievement, social skills, higher-ordered thinking, identity, intimacy, intellectual, physiological, mental, and emotional capabilities. According to Jean Piaget, “The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.”
