Cognitive Learning theories
The video to the right is a song created by students to help them remember the two major cognitive learning theorist, Piaget and Vygotsky.
Piaget studied children from birth to twelve years old and developed four stages on how we learn and grow. Vygotsky focused on the processes which children develop over the years and used general terms. Vygosky's main point is scaffolding. Scaffolding is where a teacher, administrator, or parent provide support and slowly take away that support as the child masters the skill. Once the child has mastered that skill you keep building upon that one skill so the children can continue to learn. |

So what?

Children can often struggle with learning in different ways. They can develop learning disabilities. The video to the left explains the different types of learning disability.
If a child has a dyslexia and has difficulty with reading this can result into the child's peers laughing and the child's peers repeat after the child to make of the student. The button bellow labeled The Truth About Bullying gives examples of a learning disability a student might have and the outcome of bullying because a student has a learning disability. |
With this comic it Illustrates a way of learning through self expression. The children at the Cartoon Camp will be drawing everyday. This definitely helps children learn creative thinking. Allow students to be creative. Encourage the creativeness to make sure that they understand what they are learning.
