Prologue

To be a teacher, is too important to know how are the children development in order to proportionate them a good education. In this blog I talk about some interesting things that a teacher have to know in order to give them a good attention.

Educative influence mechanisms

Teachers have to connect with the content representation that students have and help them to modify it in order to the progressive construction of meaning systems.
Students  should modify their initial representations so that the new ones become reach and complex and that can be learned and assumed.
 Initially teachers strategically makes a renounce in order to reach a shared system of meanings and representations, This process is essentially because of the spoken language.

School and language improvement

 It,s important that children increase vocabulary, morphological knowledge ans meta linguistic conscience, the grammatical rules and complex syntactical structures domain and learning of concepts and symbols in order to obtain a good communication skills when they finished the school years.

Development of linguistic competences ( oral and written expression). The language improvement requires the learning of a variety of knowledge, which has to be taught in interactive context trough authentic tasks with practical sense.

Piaget Vs Vigostky

Piaget

The egocentric talk which is not directed to anyone neither is adapted to the other comprehension is differentiated from the outer speech. Language illustrates the existing schemes but it does not have significant role on the cognitive development, neither helps the child to construct new structures.

Vigotsky

Talk moves from the social world to the private speech and afterwards, it is transformed into internal speech, accomplish the function of cognitive self-direction. The egocentric talk is the function of this kind of private talk is to help the child to regulate the behavior and solve problems

Vigotski think that children development depends on the learning. To him , mental or psychological functions are social and are classified as inferior and superior.The lower psychological functions are biological or genetically formed (involuntary), and higher mental functions are formed socially through educational processes and giving them tools or signs. But Piaget think that there are different stages that a children have to pass in order to acquire the knowledge.


Thinking and language

 The development of the linguistic competence  in order to acquire a good skills to communicate us with the other human beings need to learn four kinds of knowledge to develop the linguistic competence:

- Phonology that are the basic units of sounds.
- Semantic: that are the meaning of the symbols
- The sintaxi of the grammatical rules to combine words
Pragmatic that are abilities to efficiently communicate;

We starts to babble when we are babies, to comprehend with the sequential language in order to dialogue and be able to have a conversation ( Pre linguistic period + Linguistic period + Pragmatic ).

The memory

We found 3 processes in order to memorize things : Codification, Storage and retrieval.                                The codification is initially registered in a way that the memory can use. The storage maintaining the stored material , consciousness and utilization.

 There are 4 kind of memory:,The declarative memory  that is for the objectives which remembered names,faces,dates. The semantic memory that attribute ideas, concepts.. The episodic memory that has reference in the individual for example personal facts that was happened( trip,a date..) And the procedural memory that for the motor and executive skills needed to undertake a task.

Everything that we know about the reality, has to be mediated by the organs of our senses and for a set of systems that interpret and re-intent basic cognitive processes; In this processes is important to take into account the individual differences and it's too important that teachers teach the students strategies to help them in order to regulate their cognitive cognitive.

The cognitive process according to Piaget

Scheme is the concept that exist in a subjects mind to organize and interpret the information. The assimilation is a mental process that happens when the child incorporate new knowledge  to the previous knowledge.
 The accommodation happens when a child adjust information towards new schemes. The cognitive is a mental operation through which we become knowers of the objects and life. Also, is a set of mental process that take place between the stimulus reception and the answer to them or processes through which the sensorial input is transformed, reduced,elaborated, retrieved or used.      

As a future teachers, it's interesting to know that we have to catch the children attention in order to their focused in a specific task. We have to be clear in order to ask for a task, we have to be specifics and motivated the students in order to reach the goal : it results and efficient and economic perception for the actuation.

 

Body scheme definition

The body scheme perception is the image of the conscious perception that we have of our body.
 The progressive experience is physical and social. The perceptual image is the information about size and shape of our body. Our cognitive image are the beliefs, thoughts, self-messages about our body and our emotional image are the level of satisfaction with our figure and with the experiences that our body proportionate us.              

 Preschool and school stages are fundamental in the development of the body scheme. The body schemes develops slowly during childhood because children know his/her body before knowing the world. Is a slowly constructed until 11/ 12 years old and depends on the maturation of the nervous system  and also it depends in which way  interact  the children with her/his environment and the context.  
                           
Education can contribute to help children in order to construct the body scheme to avoid some possible socialization or learning difficulties.

Graphic Gesture Development

As a future teachers, I think that it is interesting to know how can I know about a child watching what did he/she draw in a paper.

We can differentiate some stages of the  graphic psychomotricty :

1. Homo-lateral lines (trazos) (16 months) 
 The line has a proximal origin and all the arm is in movement. The straight segments are from left to right.


2. Horizontal or Oblique Sweepings (barridos) (20 months) 
 Lines that combine the start from the axis and the return to  the same point and Back and forth movements, symmetric for both hands

3.Circular lines, positives or negatives 
More flexible lines that substitute the sweepings.Those lines are combined with a proximal origin movement and a rotatory movement of distal origin.

Trough the observation of the drawings we can observe  the children aspects: his/her physical developmen, feelings.. And also, we can observe their maturation process






School-age psychomotor progress

Schoolchildren should learn to regulate motor skills and internal processes that determine them. Psychomotor education refers to complex issues rooted with the individual and collective imaginary contextualized education.
This learning needs persistence, involvement, and systematic education through all the scholarisation, preferibly in a transveral way – language class / maths class.
