Constructivism: How knowledge is constructed in the human being when information comes into contact with existing knowledge (schema) that has been developed by experiences. According to Piaget, constructing knowledge involves a process of solving problems in order to eliminate disequilibrium. This is accomplished through assimilation, accommodation, and equilibrium (Snowman & Biehler, 34).
Organized units of knowledge SCHEMA
Taking a new experience and trying to fit it in with an existing schema. (Wood & Smith, 2012)
Experiencingsomething that is inconsistent with what you already believe and know.
Constructivism: building knowledge to eliminate disequilibrium (Wood & Smith, 2012)
Accommodation (Wood & Smith, 2012)
Accommodation Process Changing your existing scheme to accommodate the new experience so it fits in. (Wood & Smith, 2012)
Cognitive Development PIAGET’S 4stages I. Sensorimotor (0-2) II. Preoperational (2-7) III. Concrete Operational (7-11) IV. Formal Operational(11–adult)
Cognitive development in 4 stages: •Children universally proceed through each stage in the same order but at varying rates. Not all attain the formal operational stage. •Human beings use organization(to systemize and categorize) and adaptation(to connect new experiences to existing knowledge-schema). (Snowman & Biehler, 33,35).
A balanced mental state in which you have 1.) adapted to a new experience and 2.) organized your schema (Wood & Smith, 2012)

PIAGET’S cognitive theory of Constructionism: Cognitive development makes social development possible.
VYGOTSKY believed the opposite was true: Social interaction is the primary cause of cognitive development. (Snowman & Biehler, 47)
Cognitive Development PIAGET : LEADS TO SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Social Development LEADS TO COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT VYGOTSKY:
Social DevelopmentandSocial Constructivism Lev VYGOTSKY
VYGOTSKY Socio-cultural theory: (both social and cultural)
1896-1934 •born the same year as Piaget, but in Russia •died prematurely at age 38 of Tuberculosis •his theories gained attention in the 1980’s VYGOTSKY
“Through others, we become ourselves.” •Children gain knowledge and cultural tools that are handed down to them by others whoare more intellectually advanced. VYGOTSKY
Think of something you learned to do because an older person taught you by handing down their knowledge and skills - Perhaps a brother, sister, parent or grandparent?
•how to play chess •set up a tent •catch and clean a fish •build a doghouse •sail a sailboat •do a jigsaw puzzle •how to fry chicken
Would you have possibly figured it out or learned how to do that skill by yourself when you were younger? Or did you learn it primarily because you were taught by someone more advanced?

PSYCHOLOGICAL or CULTURAL TOOLS: . “The most important things a culture passes on to its members (and descendants) are these cultural tools. These are the cognitive devices and procedures with which we communicate and explore the world around us” (Snowman & Biehler, 46).
PSYCHOLOGICAL or CULTURAL TOOLS: . •LANGUAGE, SPEECH , WRITING •GESTURES, NON-VERBAL SIGNALS •DIAGRAMS, MAPS •NUMBERS, CHEMICAL FORMULAS •RULES, MEMORY TECHNIQUES

“Children of Many Lands: Elida’s Story: My Home on the Amazon River, Peru” (Discovery Education video, 1991) Answer the questions following the video: What were the most important cultural tools being used by Elida and her family? How many different ways were they used? Can you give examples from the video that shows how knowledge and skills were being passed down from older people to the younger? Do you believe that the younger children were advancing? What are your thoughts about the social interaction and cultural influences going on with this family and their lifestyle? Compare this to your own lifestyle, cultural influences and social interactions. Would you agree with Piaget’s theory that social development leads to cognitive development? Give a good example from the video.
