Modern Theories lecture‚ all three theorists: Freud‚ Vygotsky‚ and Piaget developed different views on social play. Erik Erikson’s play theory is similar to Vygotsky because Erikson viewed play as a necessary factor for social development. My extra credit paper is over the modern theorists. During the class lecture‚ I learned that Erik Erikson researched how the ego is the child’s personality and is responsible for a unified sense of self.

I will also discuss the value of play that is acknowledged by Vygotsky and Piaget considering play as part of learning. Moreover I will examine the teachers’’ role and teaching strategies in relation to theoretical perspectives of play. Play provides open paths to literacy and numeracy. Researches highlighted that

Zone of Proximal Development Developed by Soviet psychologist Lev Vygotsky‚ the zone of proximal development (ZPD) refers to a metaphorical area between material a learner has mastered‚ and material that goes beyond a learner’s ability. This ‘middle-ground’ represents “potential learning” that can only occur through interactions with a ‘more advanced peer:’ teachers‚ parents‚ more capable classmates. Building upon a student’s previous knowledge‚ a teacher working within the ZPD uses scaffolding

The answer is both yes and no: on certain points I find myself more in agreement with Vygotsky than I would have been in 1934‚ while on other points I believe I now have better arguments for answering him. We can begin with two separate issues raised by Vygotsky’s book: the question of egocentrism in general and the more specific question of egocentric speech

Are you a parent or someone that is always around a child as they are growing up? Are they always being pushed to learn and not play like you did as a child? Now a day‚ children are being pushed way to hard to be “smarter than their peers.” The message to all parents is that‚ there is no longer sufficient way for infants and toddlers to learn independently as they have for millennia through their own curiosity and a little help from their family members when teaching opportunities arise‚ (Hirsh-Pasek

and education. In order to see why play is important to child development‚ it is important to look at how various aspects of play with peers relate to the major theories of child development. Therefore whilst looking at the developments that can take place‚ this essay will also consider how this development comes about through the theories of development.
