In assignment two we were
asked to explain how two principles of cognitive development is applied in the
classroom to make learning more meaningful for learners. I have chosen Vygotsky’s
and Piaget’s principles because both principles have impacted on me
effectively. I used the principles to extract from students what they know and
build on that knowledge to encourage learning. I also applied the principles through
class and group’s discussion and presentation to heighten students self esteem.
The principles also helped me to learn from my students because they were
actively involved in hands on activities and interacting with each other to
arrive at a conclusion to the problem. These principles have taught me to allow
students to discovery learning for themselves with me being a guide rather than
telling them.
