Major theories of cognitive development have been presented in class and in the textbook, Chapters 6 and 7. After reviewing both chapters: • First, summarize Piaget's and Vygotsky's view of cognitive development, and their perspectives on how children learn, and how their cognitive abilities develop as they grow (especially through early and middle childhood).
• Second, pick any subject, topic or concept you'd like and describe how you might teach that subject or concept using (a) a Piagetlan-style lesson plan vs. (b) a Vygotskyan-style lesson plan. What teaching strategies and/or strengths among the students would you want to utilize with a Piagetian approach? With a Vygotskyan approach? What do both approaches have in common philosophically, that maybe reflected in both educational styles?
