The Bible: 

The Bible “You must not add anything to what I command you or take anything away from it, so that you may keep the commands of the Lord your God I am giving you” (Deut 4:2). The scripture is sacred. It must not be altered for our own purposes.

Erikson’s stages: 

Erikson’s stages Stage 1: Trust-Mistrust: Infancy, from birth to one year Stage 2: Autonomy-Shame and Doubt: Toddlers, 2-3 years Stage 3: Initiative-Guilt: Preschool, ages 4-5 Stage 4: Industry-Inferiority: Elementary, ages 6-11 Stage 5: Identity-Role Confusion: Adolescence, ages 12-18 Stage 6: Intimacy-Isolation: Young adulthood, ages 18-30 Stage 7: Generativity -Stagnation: Ages 30-65 Stage 8: Integrity-Despair: Beginning at retirement to death

Implications for teachers : 

Implications for teachers With Erikson’s stages, the implications for teachers are great. As an elementary school teacher, I am working with children who are at Erikson’s stage 4. Learning for this stage should be activity-centered and engage as many senses as possible. Teachers should assist students in setting goals and then help them to reach those goals. Teachers should also provide opportunities for growth, both in and out of the classroom.

Piaget’s Four Stages: 

Piaget’s Four Stages Stage Meaning Sensorimotor –ages birth to 2 years Immediate experiences through senses Preoperational- ages 2-7 Thinking is limited by egocentrism, centration , irreversibility, and an inability to conserve Concrete- ages 7-11 Begin to think logically about concrete objects Formal Operational- ages 11 and up Operate with formal logic Since many teachers are dealing with the Concrete stages (elementary school), it is important to offer students many opportunities to use critical thinking skills within the Classroom setting.

Piaget vs. Vygotsky: 

Piaget vs. Vygotsky Component Piaget Vygotsky Social Interaction Cognitive development makes social interaction possible Social interaction makes cognitive development possible Language Language is an indicator of mental maturity already established Language is essential to the development of mental maturity Culture Development is universal and biological Development is dependent on cultural context As demonstrated in the above chart, Piaget and Vygotsky had differing views and e xplanations of how we develop our language, as well as how we develop socially and c ulturally.

The Triad: 

The Triad The Triad of Life includes Thinking, Feeling a nd Valuing, and Doing. -The thinking circle represents the cognitive sphere. -The feeling circle represents the affective sphere. -The doing circle represents the behavioral sphere

The Triad and Teaching: 

The Triad and Teaching As an elementary school teacher, I believe I must encompass all three of the circles, Thinking, Feeling and Valuing, and Doing. My weakness has always been the Feeling and Valuing, or the affective sphere. This is something I would like to work on as a teacher, parent and spouse. The emotional part of life is something that I tend to lack in that I do less feeling and more thinking.

Weiner’s Attribution Theory: 

Weiner’s Attribution Theory From homepage.ntlworld.com and Created to Learn by William R. Yount Failure attributions: Ability: I’m bad at that Effort: I didn’t study enough Difficulty: That was a tough test Luck: I guessed wrong Success attributions: Ability: I’m good at that Effort: I studied hard Difficulty: That was easy Luck: I guessed right

In conclusion : 

In conclusion The number of theories and theorists out there is mind boggling at times. There are so many, and some are at odds with each other. To be a good teacher is to use some aspects of all the theories we have learned about. We, as teachers, need to assess the needs of our students and use different approaches based on our assessments. Not all students learn the same, and we must understand that it is our job to provide all students with the same learning opportunities, in whatever format works best for them.
