Personal Philosophy of Learning and Teaching by SITI NUR HIDAYAH BINTI ABDUL KADIR KAILANI / UPM https://padlet.com/2081254/2pq4yhay6siwhvsl Individual Assignment (10%) – Duchesne & McMaugh Textbook en-us 2023-01-23 17:29:33 UTC 2025-10-16 12:33:31 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/23f3.png My knowledge of theories of development help shape my teaching practice? 2081254 https://padlet.com/2081254/2pq4yhay6siwhvsl/wish/2453615082 Theories of development can provide a framework for understanding how children learn and grow and can inform the design and implementation of instruction. For example, I’m familiar with Piaget's theory of cognitive development, I would scaffold tasks and provide hands-on learning opportunities to help students progress through the stages of cognitive development. Similarly, with Vygotsky's theory of sociocultural development, I would create opportunities for students to engage in collaborative problem-solving and peer-to-peer instruction. By understanding these theories, I can create an environment that is developmentally appropriate and responsive to the needs of my students.

When students are learning a new concept at school, as a teacher, I can contribute to their development by creating an environment that is conducive to learning, providing clear and concise explanations of the concept, and providing opportunities for hands-on and interactive learning. I can also provide opportunities for students to make connections between the new concept and their prior knowledge, and provide opportunities for students to engage in real-world applications of the concept. Additionally, I can provide opportunities for students to work independently and in groups and provide opportunities for students to receive guidance and support as they work through the concept. I can also provide opportunities for ongoing assessment and reflection, to allow students to monitor their own progress and to inform instruction. I can also provide opportunities for students to receive feedback on their work and discuss their progress with them. Furthermore, I can provide opportunities for students to explore and discover the concept in a way that suits their learning styles and preferences. 

When students are learning to play and getting to know each other, as a teacher, I can contribute to their development by creating a positive and inclusive classroom environment where all students feel safe, respected, and valued. I can provide opportunities for students to engage in games and activities that promote cooperation, teamwork, and social skills. I can also facilitate opportunities for students to interact with each other and form positive relationships. Additionally, I can provide opportunities for students to learn about and appreciate each other's diverse backgrounds and perspectives. I can also provide opportunities for students to learn about and practice positive social skills, such as communication, conflict resolution, and empathy. I can also provide opportunities for students to reflect on their own social interactions and to give and receive feedback from peers and teachers. Furthermore, I can also model positive social behaviour and be a supportive and understanding adult for the students to rely on.
