Educational IssuesII. Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental TheoryIII. Information ProcessingCurrent LectureI. Educational IssuesIndividualized Education Plan (IEP): Written statement that is specifically tailored for thedisabled student. Legal document that lays out exactly what the child is entitled to during the school day. Least Restrictive Environment (LRE): Setting that is as similar as possible to the one in which non-disabled children are educatedInclusion: Educating a child with special education needs full-time in the regular classroom. Sometimes this is not great because sometimes children act extremely inappropriate for other children in the classroom to witness. II. Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental TheoryThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture. GradeBuddy is best used as a supplement to your own notes, not as a substitute.Concrete operational stage - Ages 7 to 11- Children are able to problem solve better- Can’t think abstractly- Children can perform concrete operations and reason logically, and are able to classify things into different sets- Seriation: Ability to order stimuli along a quantitative dimension – give a child sticks of different lengths. Tell child to put sticks small to large. - Transitivity: Ability to logically combine relations to understand certain conclusions – “I have three sticks, if a is large, b smaller, c is smallest” child will be able to say that a is bigger than c.- Kids at this age are not as distracted by appearances. They can think more logically Evaluating Piaget’s concrete operational stage – each phase is different because it is stages. Follow up researchers say it is not as clean as Piaget thought, children build on previous known things - Concrete operational abilities do not appear in synchrony- Development is influenced by education and culture exert strong influences on children’s developmentIII. Information ProcessingLong-term memory: A relatively permanent and unlimited type of memory Increases with age during middle and late childhoodKnowledge and expertise- Experts have acquired extensive knowledge about a particular contentareaStrategies: Deliberate mental activities that improve the processing of information. Not automatic things. o Elaboration: Extensive processing of the informationo Engage in mental imageryo Understanding the material. o Repeat with variationo Embed memory-relevant
