#CSAM18 Day 9: Piaget

Ok, again this is cheating a bit since Piaget really studied children and his model ends at “11+”, but! I think it’s important for all of us to know how learning happens (theoretically), so that we can continue the development and learning process. Piaget believed that all children, regardless of background, go through the same four prescribed stages. Children progress through the stages after multiple experiences and stimuli.

Here’s a nice chart to summarize his theories from https://www.psychologynoteshq.com/piaget-stages/:




Title of theory: Stages of Development

Year theory was published: 1936

Students originally studied: He studied children after helping grade intelligence exam and realizing young children answered certain questions differently than older children or adults. He even studied his own three children.

Background of the author: He was born in Switzerland and was interested in zoology and biology. He began studying mollusks at just 10 years old and published his research while in his teens. He then went on to study psychology. He died in 1980.

How theory can be used now: Piaget's stages depend on experiences, which means trial and error. While Piaget's final stage begins to happen around 11 years old, it's important to note how he believed children learned, and that maybe we continue to learn like that as adults. We can given students the ability to go through the trial and error process in safe learning space to help with their continual development.

Words of warning: Piaget's stages are pretty strict in when children should be at the same stage for all of the measured tasks, but proceeding research showed that some children could learn some skills before they hit the prescribed Piaget stage.

#CSAM18 Day 29: The Four S’s of Transition

There are Four S's of transition: Situation, the 5 W's of the transition. Self, personal/demographic characteristics and psychological resources of the person going through the transition. Social support, which is pretty self explanatory. Strategies, how a person responds to the transition. There are also three parts of a transition: moving in, moving through, and moving out.

#CSAM16 Day 16: Development of Mexican American Identity

Ethnic Identity in children has five components. 1 - Ethnic self-identitification, this is when children identify themselves with their ethnic group. 2 - Ethnic constancy - children understand that their identity is constant and unchanging. 3 - Ethnic role behaviors - children engage in behaviors that align with their ethnic group. 4 - Ethnic knowledge - children realize that certain knowledge or behaviors are specific and relevant to their ethnic group. 5 - Ethnic feelings and preferences - children develop feelings about their belonging within their ethnic group.

Both of their parents were of Mexican descent. Background of the authors: Martha E. Bernal was the first Latina to receive a PhD in psy

Retention

Today was a day (but not the first) that I realized I will not stay at my institution for the long-term. I might not even stay in higher ed. Today showed me the two very different sides of retention, of risk factors, of student process. Today I was reminded of how powerless I am in the machine of higher ed. This afternoon I attended a training session focused on student retention and one of our efforts to reduce student loss. It was framed in a very interesting way: get students back on campus for Spring term. Take specific steps for a specific group of students: reach out, get in contact, work on a plan to get them back on campus for the Spring. There was no discussion about student success. No mention of student goals. We talked about process, numbers, data, and enrollment. Later in the day I attended a student veteran group meeting. One student veteran, after a discussion about being on campus, said "I would rather be back in Iraq". Yes. A student would rather be I
