K3D210- How current theories of play can inform practice.
K3D313- There are competing theories of how children develop and how current theoretical views influence practice.
Play is fundamental to children’s health, growth, development and overall well-being. When they have varied and interesting opportunities, their brains are stimulated. Stimulation to the brain is vital for it’s growth. Children should be provided with stimulation and exercise with indoor and outdoor activities.
Play is now a far greater factor of our understanding and is generally recognised as being essential in helping children grow and develop. This is why the Foundation stage and other early years curricula emphasise the importance of providing play environments and activities that will encourage children to learn through play.
There are a few different theories about how children learn and develop. This is known as developmental psychology, and it covers the areas of cognitive, language and emotional development.
Skinner- Reinforcement and punishment moulds behaviour. Children are conditioned by their experiences.
Bandura- Learning takes place by imitation. This differs from ‘Skinners’ conditioning because there is more emphasis on inner motivational factors.
Vygotsky- Development is primarily driven by language, social context and adult guidance.
Play and Development- Play is a great motivator for children it encourages them to run, chase each other, crawl, climb and in doing so they are building their muscles, stamina
And physical skills. Also children playing with jigsaws and rolling dough etc. will be increasing their hand-eye-co-ordination as well as their fine manipulative skills.
Play and language development- Play also helps children to practice speech and communication. This may be through talking to dolls or to each other during role play.
Play and cognitive development- This is where children learn about their environment through play. They can make up games and learn about rules and making rules. This helps to stimulate the brain and form ideas about what is happening.
Play and social development- Play also helps children to build friendships. Role play helps children to explore their feelings and the dynamics of different relationships.
