CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Jerome Bruner’s Theory of Development is based on the assumption that we learn best when we go from concrete to abstract in a three-step process: First comes hands-on “Action”, then learning with “Images” and finally students transform what they’ve learned into “Language”.

Detailed explanation-2: -Language Acquisition Support System highlights the role of adults in the early development of language. Bruner focused on games such as peek-a-boo, which enable babies to rehearse the turn-taking necessary in interactions with others. In using this phrase, he underlines the social context in which learning occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Enactive (0-1 year) The first kind of memory. This mode is used within the first year of life (corresponding with Piaget’s sensorimotor stage). Thinking is based entirely on physical actions, and infants learn by doing, rather than by internal representation (or thinking).

Detailed explanation-4: -In Bruner’s Theory learners go from a tangible, action-oriented stage of learning to a symbolic and abstract stage of learning. By using this theory, learners can build new knowledge upon knowledge they’ve previously learned. This can lead to a better understanding of what students are learning.
