7. PIONEERS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Jean Piaget (1896-1980) – defined himself as a genetic
epistemologist, interested in the process of the qualitative development of
knowledge. Piaget’s theory is all about constructivism.
I choose Jean Piaget because Piaget is very particular and interested
in the process ofthe qualitative developmentof knowledge.He considered
cognitive structures developments as differentiation of biological
regulations. His entire theory first become known in itself being based on a
structuralist and and a cognitivist approach according to Piaget. Piaget
theory made many contributions to the psychology of my classroom
learning. There are too will be highlighted in my classroom. According to
this theory states the human beings acquire knowledge and moral values
by constructing them from inside in interaction with the environment. In the
kindergarten, children’s construction of language illustration the
constructure process. I like Piaget’s theory because he allows children to
have a punishment, like in my class. According to Piaget’s theory, young
children’s construction of language illustrates the constructive process,
because for example like our own dialect which is the mother tongue, now
the young’s one learn also mother tongue or Bisaya dialect. It is easy to
think that children learn language by internalization from their environment.
In the 21st
century believe that moral values a rules are acquired by
direct internalization from the environment. The teacher must showed
moral values, too, and constructed by each child from the inside. In my
daily lesson, I enhance the learners on how to appreciate beautiful life and
that life must use to become productive person in and out of their
environment. As a kindergarten teacher, standardized questions were
considered to be “objective” and scientific for example, if a child gave the
correct answer in the conservation of number task. Piaget believed that
every child’s response and probed into their reasoning to ascertain strength
of his/her logic. Every child deserves to strengthen their logic as what
Piaget want to probed in a child. It means that ability to make decisions by
taking relevant factors into account, independently of reward and
8. punishment. Let the child decide from right to wring, truth and untruth in the
intellectual process. According to Piaget, Autonomy is the opposite of
heteronomy, which means being unable to make decisions for oneself and
therefore being governed by other. Schools are now generally run with
ready mode rules and curriculum supported by reward and punishment, as
if heteronomy (obedience) were the aim of education. Piaget’s theory has
changed some classroom practices as well as like my classroom practices
in the kindergarten when educators adopt moral and intellectual autonomy
as aim the aim of education. Schools will be run very differently and
produce graduates with a strong sense of responsibility about themselves
as well as the welfare of others, schools will also endeavor to produce
thinker capable of creating new knowledge rather than merely repeating
what others have said.
9. ASSIGNMENT
1. HOW THE TEACHER TEACH SCIENCE IN PRESCHOOL LEARNERS?
Involve the learners in Science, providing the teacher of varied
learning activities to help the preschoolers understand concepts and
motivate them to learn.
Science concepts are discussed in a simple but clear manner
according to the age levels of the puppies. The puppies acquire the
science skills through different fun activities.
Provides exercises that contain higher – order thinking type of
questions to reinforce the acquired skills and to assess the learning
of concepts.
The learners are given opportunities to explore the environment and
create meaningful projects by using assorted recyclable materials. It
also includes learning activities that cater to different styles.
The literature – based introduction to motivates he learners.
2. INTEGRATED SCIENCE
3. HOW IMPORTANCE OF MUSIC IN TEACHING SCIENCE?
The importance of music in teaching science, it is designed to make
more fun and alive the lesson daily it is very interesting.
The lesson are integrated with other areas of learning such as
Mathematics, Creative Arts, Music, Kinesthetic, Reading and
Christian Values, to develop analytical, observant, creative and
morally upright individuals.
It is the aim to teach children to love the world they live in and to
learn to be God’s steward of the world.
Music, stories and poems are the employs literature – based
approaches are used as jumpstart activities to make learning more
meaningful.
Music is the part of activities appropriate to the developmental skills
of preschool child is well considered in the design of this curriculum.
