What is a Theory?
The term theory is used with surprising frequency in everyday language. It is often used in to mean a guess or hunch.
You may even hear people dismiss certain information because it is "only a theory.” as the colloquial use of the term.
In science, a theory is not merely a guess. A theory is a fact-based framework for describing a phenomenon.
In psychology, theories are used to provide a model for understanding human thoughts, emotions and behaviors.

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Human Needs
Maslow presented the idea that human actions are directed toward goal attainment.
The lower level needs must be satisfied before higher-order needs can develop.

Esteem Two levels:
The lower one is the need for the respect of others, the need for recognition, attention, reputation, appreciation, dignity, even dominance.
The higher form involves the need for self-respect, including such feelings as confidence, competence, achievement, mastery, independence, and freedom.
Note that this is the higher form because, unlike the
respect of others, once you have self-respect,
it’s a lot harder to lose!

In addition to the needs on the main there is another layer to self-actualization that emerges only when all lower needs are completely satisfied.
This need are breaks categories: Aesthetic and Cognitive.

What do you need to reach
Self-Actualization In order to be happy you need:
Truth, rather than dishonesty. Goodness, rather than evil. Beauty, not ugliness or vulgarity. Unity, wholeness, and transcendence of opposites, not arbitrariness or
forced choices. Aliveness, not deadness or the mechanization of life. Uniqueness, not bland uniformity. Perfection and necessity, not sloppiness, inconsistency, or accident. Completion, rather than incompleteness. Justice and order, not injustice and lawlessness. Simplicity, not unnecessary complexity. Richness, not environmental impoverishment. Effortlessness, not strain. Playfulness, not grim, humorless, drudgery. Self-sufficiency, not dependency. Meaningfulness, rather than senselessness.

EriksonPsychosocial Theory
Eight stages of social-emotional development across the life span. Relevant to modern life, from several different perspectives, for understanding and explaining how personality and behavior develops in people.
Personality strengths or weaknesses are formed based on the resolution of the crisis during each stage, one acquire new skills through conflict resolution.
Erikson's theory is useful for teaching, parenting, self-awareness, managing and coaching, dealing with conflict, and generally for understanding self and others.

Piaget http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtLEWVu815o
This theory suggests that our prior knowledge can facilitate or enhance transfer of a learning task. It is also true that prior knowledge can inhibit or interfere with our acquisition of new information
Young children are “egocentric”: they are focused only on their point of view – The sun follows me and the sun goes to bed when I go to bed.
Language alone doesn’t represent a child’s knowledge and understanding; children know a lot more than they can say.
Children think about the world very differently than adults do. Children are thinkers; children are scientists.
Biology and experience play equal roles in developing a human.

His research in developmental psychology
had one unique goal:
How does knowledge grow?
![Page 14: How Does Knowledge Grow](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56815ce5550346895dcae943/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Answer
Knowledge is built upon.
During all development stages, the child experiences his or her environment using the mental maps s/he has been able to construct.
If the experience is a repeated, it fits easily--or is assimilated--into the child's cognitive structure so that he or she maintains mental "equilibrium."
If the experience is different or new, the child loses disequilibrium. The child has to alter his/her cognitive structure to accommodate the new conditions.
![Page 15: How Does Knowledge Grow](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56815ce5550346895dcae943/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

4 Development Stages
Sensorimotor stage Preoperational stage
Concrete operation Formal operations
![Page 18: How Does Knowledge Grow](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56815ce5550346895dcae943/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Sensorimotor Stage:Birth - 2 years of age
The child, through physical interaction with his or her environment, builds a set of concepts about reality and how it works.
This is the stage where a child does not know that objects remain in existence even when out of sight, object permanence.
![Page 19: How Does Knowledge Grow](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56815ce5550346895dcae943/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
12 to 18 months• Trial and Error: Push a cracker off a high chair and watch it fall to the floor. Then does it again
• Can find hidden objects• Understands that objects exist independently
![Page 20: How Does Knowledge Grow](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56815ce5550346895dcae943/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Preoperational Stage2 - 7 years old
The child is not yet able to conceptualize abstractly and needs concrete physical situations.
The child is quite egocentric during this stage, that is, he sees things pretty much from one point of view: his own!
His thinking is influenced by fantasy -- the way he'd like things to be -- and he assumes that others see situations from his viewpoint. He takes in information and then changes it in his mind to fit his ideas.
![Page 21: How Does Knowledge Grow](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56815ce5550346895dcae943/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conservation
Quantity remains the same despite changes in appearance. If you show a child four marbles in a row, then spread them out, the preoperational child will focus on the spread, and tend to believe that there are now more marbles than before.
![Page 22: How Does Knowledge Grow](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56815ce5550346895dcae943/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
•They think the same amount of liquid is more when poured into a tall thin glass.•To them taller means more!

Concrete Operation7-11 years old
During this stage, the child develops an ability to think abstractly and to make rational judgments about concrete or observable phenomena.
In the past, the child needed to manipulate physically to understand. In teaching this child, giving him the opportunity to ask questions and to explain things back to allows him to mentally manipulate information.
![Page 24: How Does Knowledge Grow](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081421/56815ce5550346895dcae943/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Formal Operations11 - 15 years old
This person no longer requires concrete objects to make rational judgments.
At this point, he is capable of hypothetical and deductive reasoning. Teaching for the adolescent may be wide ranging because he'll be able to consider many possibilities from several perspectives.

Vygotsky
After age two, the growth of the mind is highly influenced by the child’s culture. Learning occurs when children interact with both the environment and people around them. Children are active participants in their own learning.
In play, children often behave beyond their average age; play is a major source of development. To master and remember these new skills the child needs assistance.
Scaffolding is how an adult or another child can assist the learner by asking questions, posing problems, modeling or offering new materials that move the child to a new level of learning – Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD).
Growing and learning doesn’t always happen naturally.

Howard Gardner
Proposed the notion that human beings have not just one type of intelligence, but several. Previously intelligence had been defined by intelligence tests.
Rarely do intelligences work alone, rather they are combined in our activities as one can enhance another.
*What intelligence will you use to analyze, synthesis, and evaluate how knowledge grows?

Reggio Emilia100 Languages
Depending on the ages and skills of the children, activities engaged are sparked by the children’s interest and moves into project work include drawing, writing, reading, recording observations, and interviewing experts.
The information gathered is summarized and represented in the form of graphs, charts, diagrams, paintings and drawings, murals, models and other constructions, and reports to peers and parents.
In the early years, an important component of a project is dramatic play, in which new understanding is expressed and new vocabulary is used.
Environment plays an important role as ‘third teacher’, the first teacher (the parent) and the second (the classroom teacher, who co-explores with children)

Mary Montessori
She became the director of a school for mentally-disabled children. After two years under her guidance, these children, who formerly had been considered uneducable, took a school examination along with typical developing children and passed successfully.
How did she guide them? Children are grouped in three or six-year spans and
have the same teacher for this period The children’s space is set up so that each child can
work independently and everything is accessible. Group work is voluntary.
Materials are displayed on trays so that each child gets the materials for an activity and puts them away when done. Multi-sensory materials for physical exploration
Tools are “real” – real scissors, knives, hammers, pitchers, rulers, etc. so they work.
Individualism with its emphasis on auto-education and self- correcting materials

Bloom’s Taxonomy
Multi-tiered model of classifying thinking according to six cognitive levels of complexity.
It is like a stairway, "climb to a higher (level of) thought."
The lowest three levels are: knowledge, comprehension, and application.
The highest three levels are: analysis, synthesis, and evaluation
