Important because we have to think about the framework and perspective 
Cognitive--- 
this shift has been an evolution in the field... 
They have an interactive view...
This is important to understand what approach perspective our textbook has. 
We have to keep in mind that this is the framework that is being put forward

Social perspective---

This is to alert us that assessment is attached to these narratives. 
being a "good" and a "bad" writer....
These narratives of being a good student or good reader have a lot to do with our student's evolution as literacy learners.

to the cold and harsh elements, an idea somewhat akin to environmental inoculation. Virtue, Locke believed, in contrast to early views of original sin, would come with self-denial and rational thinking. Physical rewards and punishment were discouraged; they would promote sensuality. Locke cautioned parents to limit their children’s exposure to inappropriate or foolish ideas; such exposure would taint the blank slate, leading to malformation of character. Children would embark on a path to virtue and rationality in an environment where parents and teachers would model proper behaviors and thoughts. Childhood was not about children; it was about forming adult character.

Rousseau had a Romantic view of child development: of the purity of childhood and the need for children to develop unhindered. He believed that education ought to be based on what a child is capable of understanding at different stages of development — one of his assertions was that reason did not develop until the age of twelve (!). These views, although not empirically based, foreshadowed developmental ideas that emerged in the field of child psychology (Darling and Nordenbo 2002).
