Curriculum alignment is when the curriculum is based on improving the student’s standardized testing scores, to improve those scores. By teaching the material that will appear on the standardized test, students are able to score higher.
Piaget viewed children as active learners in their environment, and attributed cognitive development to play. He believed that when children experience the outside world, their level of intelligence increases. Play also develops peer and other social relationships, as the children interact with the world around them. Piaget also had different cognitive stages as children progressed throughout their childhood.
Sensorimotor- Children use senses to obtain their knowledge of the world around them. (age 0-2)
Preoperational- Symbolic thinking (age 2-7)
Concrete Operations- Children can take multiple viewpoints (7-12)
Formal Operations-
Parten delineated six different stages concerning the play of children.
Unoccupied play- Child sits or stands.
Solitary play- Child plays alone
Onlooker play-Child observes peer play
Parallel play-Child plays alone but mimicks play of children around them
Associative play- Child interacts with other children but not active cooperative play
Cooperative play- Child actively plays together
