This section explores Carol Dweck's mindset theory and Willingham's learning principles, providing crucial insights into how to develop growth mindset in educational settings.
Definition: A fixed mindset believes abilities are innate, while a growth mindset embraces development through effort and learning.
Example: A growth mindset approach encourages the attitude "How can I improve?" rather than "What's the point?"
Highlight: Willingham's theory emphasizes the importance of moving information to Long-Term Memory (LTM) through practice and social support.
Vocabulary: Social Learning Theory (SLT) involves learning through observation and imitation.
The page concludes with a practical example from Piaget's research, demonstrating perspective-taking abilities in young children.
Quote: "Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong!"

Piaget's theory of cognitive development outlines four distinct stages children progress through as they develop. The sensorimotor stage (0-2 years) focuses on learning through the five senses and developing object permanence. The preoperational stage (2-7 years) marks significant language and social development progress.
Definition: Schema refers to a bank of knowledge based on past experiences that informs future learning and understanding.
Example: During the sensorimotor stage object permanence, a child under 6 months believes an object ceases to exist when hidden, while older infants understand it continues to exist.
Vocabulary: Accommodation is the process of changing existing schemas to incorporate new information.
Highlight: The concrete operational stage (7-11 years) marks the development of conservation understanding and less egocentric thinking.
The formal operational stage (12+) introduces abstract thinking and logical problem-solving abilities.
Quote: "Children progress through developmental stages at different rates, particularly those with learning difficulties."
