For this assignment I will describe two theories of mathematical development. I will discuss Jean Piaget’s and Tina Bruce’s theories about how children’s understandings of mathematical develop. Jean Piaget’s research led him to believe that we develop by taking in information‚ which is then processed by the brain and as a result of this our behaviour changes.

Kohlberg’s theory of moral development. In this essay‚ following a brief outline of the theory‚ I will be discussing the strengths and weaknesses of Kohlberg’s theory of moral development. Morality comes from the Latin word for custom. It is a behaviour that one has been accustomed to due to the laws and customs in a particular society.

Are we assigned our gender roles at birth‚ or do we become male or female over time? Simone de Beauvoir (1965) said “One is not born‚ but rather becomes a woman”.

According to Erik Erikson‚ there are eight stages of development an individual will experience throughout his or her lifetime. One of Erikson’s stages‚ which he named identity versus identity confusion‚ occurs specifically in the developmental period of adolescence.
