COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT- Two Theoretical Approaches Cognitive Development And Mental Processes.

Theoretical Approaches Cognitive Development And Mental Processes

As a children makes their way through the school curriculum, they become ever more capable and sophisticated in their thinking.This section examines two theoretical approaches to cognitive development and mental processes.Both theories explain how students become sophisticated thinkers,and both offer concrete advice for teacher who are trying to develop their students' thinking.

The first approach-

Piaget's theory-view student as naturally curious explorers who constantly try to make sense of their surroundings.By manipulating objects and by exploring what is new and unfamiliar, they discover and adapt to the world around them, Cognitive development occurs as low-level mental structures because enriched and transform into higher level structures. Piaget’s theory explains what kind of thinking to expect from children and adolescents across different grade levels.By learning Piaget's approach, teaching can offer students developmentally appropriate activities and classroom environments that are stimulating, interesting, and complex enough to nurture higher order thinking.

The second approach-

Vygotsky’s theory-views students as young apprentices who benefit from relationship with competent mentors.Through social guidance and co-operative dialogue, student acquire skill and knowledge.Vygotsky’s cognitive development is a gradual acquisition of skills, knowledge, and expertise. vygotsky’s theory maintains that cognitive growth is a socially mediated activity that occurs in a context of social interaction.By learning vygotsky’s approach, teachers can offer social guidance to help students develop the kind of thinking they need to become effective participants in their culture.

What is Inclusive Education -Child Development and Pedagogy

Inclusive Education

Inclusion is really about particle changes that we can make so that children with diverse backgrounds and abilities, as well as all other children, can succeed in our classrooms and schools. These changes will not merely benefit the children we often single out as children with special needs, but all children and their parents, all teachers and school administrators, and everyone from the community who works with the school.

what is inclusive?
over the years, the term inclusive has come to mean including children with disabilities in regular classrooms for children without disabilities. In this Toolkit, inclusive means much more.

Inclusive does include children with disabilities such as children who have difficulties in seeing or hearing, who  cannot walk, or slow to learn.

• However inclusive also means including all children who are left out or exclude from school.
• Those children may not speak the language of the classroom, are at risk of dropping out because they are sick, hungry,or not achieving  well.
• They belong to a different religion or caste, affected by HIV/AIDS.It also means that all girls and boys who should be in school but are not, especially those who work at home,in the fields,or elsewhere (migrants) and who have paying jobs to help their families survive.
• Inclusive means that teachers, we have the responsibilities to seek out available support we have the responsibility to seek out all available support (from school authorities, the community,families, children, education institution, health services, community leaders, and so on) for finding and teaching all children.

Moreover, in some communities, all children may be enrolled in school, but some children still may be refrained from participating and learning in the classroom. For instance, they may be children:

• for whom a lesson or textbook is not written in their first language;
• who are never asked to contribute;
• who never offer to contribute;
• who can’t see the blackboard or textbook or can’t hear the teacher; or
• who are not learning well and not attempt is made to help them.

These children may be setting at the back of the classroom and may soon leave altogether (drop out) As teacher, we are responsible for creating a learning environment where all children can learn, all children want to learn, and all children feel included in our classrooms and schools.

Goal of Inclusive Education

Recognising Education for all children as a fundamental right. To ensure the inclusion of children and youth with disabilities in all available mainstream education settings. By providing them with a learning environment that is available, accessible, affordable and appropriate to help develop their learning abilities.

The main objective of the Action Plan will be

• to ensure that no child is denied admission in mainstream education.
• to ensure that every child would have the right to access an Anganwadi and school and no child would be turned back on the ground of disability.
• to ensure that mainstream and specialist training institution serving with disabilities, in the government or in the non-government sector, facilitate growth of a cadre of teaching trained to work within the principles of inclusion.
• to facilitate access of gift with disabilities and disabled students from rural and remote areas to government hostels.
• to provide for home-based learning for persons with severe, multiple and intellectual disability.
• to promote distance education for those who required an individualised pace of learning.
• to emphasize job-training and job-oriented vocational, and
• to promote an understanding of the paradigm shift from charity to development through a massive awareness, motivation and sensitisation campaign.
