    Grrrr, I used to know this, my ex had to do a lot of work on it...

    But I can't for the life of me remember it... I think I disagreed with him, but that may have been to cause a silly playfight...

    AAAH.
    I did that essay in 1st year o__________o

    Really though, for that whole section of the course I just spent every lecture counting the amount of times my lecturer said "Piaget"; she loved the man xD

    I think that it is a rather accurate way to sum up the way that children learn best as it allows the child to explore the world for themselves and learn in their own way but have an adult to help guide them through it which makes the social constructivist theory better than the laissez-faire theory (child led) and transmission theory (adult led).

    I know a little too much about these theories *is currently doing c/w on it* :)

    @Laurathesmall no, I'm wrong, cos that seems pretty logical and sensible. I know there was one I used to annoy my ex with cos it was a load of pants.

    Actually you guys, Piaget's theory actually underestimated what children could do due to his poor methodology, challenged by studies such as Donaldson's, McGarrigle & Donaldson's, and Bower and Wishart's. The idea of splitting development into seperate stages is quite misleading, as children could effectively 'straddle' more than one at once. Research by Meadows found that direct peer tutoring could speed up learning, which Piaget didn't account for. Although cross-cultural studies have confirmed that this model of cognitive development is universal and therefore probably biological, Piaget put far too much focus on the cognitive and ignored social and emotional factors. However, his theory did provide strong opportunities for application to education.

    @lexcanroar Eek! You'll do fiiiiiine! Just remember the important names and try and rant and waffle on about them. That tends to get a few marks.
    And don't panic. Like I do. :P
    @saskiajulie BIOLOGICAL RHYTHMS! That's what the sleep/dreaming/body clocks was properly called. :P Good luck with your exam if you're doing the same one on Friday! =]
