Scaffolding locomotor skills are activities that take place in a child’s life over a period of time. These skills are used every day and make it extremely easy to succeed and enjoy what life gives them. Scaffolding locomotor skills can be broken down to understand the concept more easily. Scaffolding deliberates a variation of instructional techniques used to move students with time toward stronger understanding and greater independence in the learning process. The word scaffolding depicts the teachers provide successive levels of momentary support that help students reach higher levels of comprehension and skill attainment that without assistance they would not be achieve. Scaffolding is widely considered to be an essential tool of effective
The babies learn how to do movements such as crawls, roll, stand, walk or run. They talk and develop how to control. Babies learn how to control their muscles and movements. Motor control develops from the head, moves down through the arms and the trunk and then to the legs and feet.
ZPD is the range of tasks that are too difficult for children to learn or master of their own but can accomplish with outside help of influence. Scaffolding is the act of someone with greater knowledge helping the “leaner” learn and gauging the guiding bases on the learner’s progress. How these phenomena relate to the movie is shown when Stanley is teaching Zero how to read and when Zero is teaching Stanley how to dig more
Gross motor is crucial to a child’s development in and out of the classroom. My goal is to add fun exciting movement activities for example,

Cognitive development is defined as the process of acquiring intelligence and increasingly advanced thought and problem-solving ability from infancy to adulthood. Many professionals have challenged and researched this topic. One of the most widely believed views is that of Dr. Lev Vygotsky’s. According to the textbook, this view supports the idea of scaffolding as a social support. Vygotsky’s theory also involved an idea called “the zone of proximal development.” The child is best guided through this “zone” by gearing the parent’s assistance to the child’s capabilities. This theory supports the possibility that human neurobiology underlies cognitive development in early childhood, but key forms of the child’s cognitive activities develop through interaction with older, more experienced people who guide them within appropriate learning environments. In layman’s terms, this is the difference between what a child can do with help and what a child can do without help. My virtual child is a great example of this. Roman was very capable of preforming certain tasks, but could he do it without my help? During the first two years of a child’s life, they typically are in the sensory-motor stage of cognitive development. During this stage, we gave Roman an Object Permanence test. This means that we would hide an object and see if Roman could retrieve it properly. At the ages of one to two, Roman could find

Craven (2012) confirms that scaffolding involves clearly articulated goals and learning activities which are structured in ways that enable learners to extend their existing levels of understanding (p.264). Using the Eight Ways of Learning gives teachers a tool to teach Indigenous pedagogy, when teachers use this pedagogy and other approaches appropriate to their students backgound and cultural sensitivity, they become effective teachers and provide a supportive classroom (Craven, 2012). Getting to know the students, learning about their backgrounds, families, needs and learning abilities allows teachers to provide students and families with a diverse supportive classroom and school (Devlin, et.al.
Tori Smoode May 2, 2018 ECE 114- Final Paper Professor Jones 1. When it comes to fine and gross motor skills I feel that Olivia was right on track or even slightly ahead, I noticed this mostly through the bead stringing activity they did during their morning work. Jean Piaget has tied the idea of motor development to the development of cognitive processes, which essentially comes from a child’s environment.
When educating young children several factors come into play. Making sure that the child is participating in age-appropriate learning and development activities. In working in a childhood education program, it is important to know a child’s experience and prior knowledge A child is unable to walk before they crawl, they must first master the task in front of them before moving on. Paying attention to a
Scaffolding is metaphorical term which refers to the process through which teachers facilitate children’s learning by enabling them achieve a level of ability beyond the child’s current capacity. Through scaffolding, teachers play an active role by interacting with children to support their development by providing structures that support them to stretch their understanding or me...
Physical development focuses on increasing the skill and performance of the body. The sequence of physical development involves firstly gross motor skills that require control of large muscles in the body, arms and legs. Gross motor skills are larger movements your baby makes with his/her arms, legs, feet, or his/her entire body. Physical and cognitive development are closely linked, especially during the early years. When most teens mature their frontal lobes continue to develop.
Physical and motor development are two similar but different areas that describe child development. Physical development encompasses all of the various changes a child's body goes through. Those changes include height, weight, and brain development. Motor development is the development of control over the body. This control would involve developing reflexes such as blinking, large motor skills like walking, and fine motor skills like manipulating their fingers to pick up small objects like Cheerios. It is important to objectively study physical and motor development in children to gain knowledge on what characteristics are considered typical for each age and stage of development. This will enable me to be aware of when a child or children are developing at an irregular pace, and devise recommendations or find experiences and other resources that can aid in stimulating their development and to work towards closing achievement gaps. This particular assignment was to observe the selected child and reaffirm the importance of studying physical and motor development, and to develop ideas on how to involve it in my work as an early childhood professional.
From preschool into early elementary school, children have begun to develop their gross motor skills. They have developed a “mature pattern of walking” and are ready to test their physical abilities to the limits. Also fine motor skills have begun to develop, however more slowly. Along with motor skills children are developing their visual, tactile, and kinesthetic senses. A child’s sensory skills are helpful in learning language.
During this stage of development, children continue to develop gross motor skills but most of the development is with their fine motor skills. During this stage children are beginning to learn how to color, use scissors, write, and possibly tie their own shoes. Children will develop hand eye coordination as well as the ability to manipulate objects to accomplish what they want. My development was especially slow in this area. I did not begin to write legible words until I was five almost six years old. I still to this day, cannot cut a straight line and I could not color in the lines until I was about ten years old. I have always struggled with hand eye coordination and anything requiring the ability to manipulate a small object.
