ILTS EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION (206) EXAM
Equilibrium: - Answer --Family's balance and consistency
Sensorimotor Stage (Piaget): - Answer --Birth-2 years old, Infants learn through
environmental input they receive through their senses; motor actions they engage in;
and through feedback they receive from their bodies and the environment about their
actions
Sensorimotor Stage (Piaget), First 3 substages: - Answer --From birth to 1 month old,
infant learns to comprehend their environment through their inborn reflexes such as
sucking or looking around.
-From 1-4 months old, babies begin to coordinate their physical sensations with new
schemas they form to represent elements of reality.
-From 4-8 months (Secondary Circular Reactions), children repeat rewarding actions
but now they are focused on things in the environment that they can affect
Last 3 substages of Sensorimotor stage: - Answer --From 8-12 month (Coordination of
Reactions): having begun repeating actions purposefully to achieve environmental
effects during the previous substage and further explore their surroundings. Frequently
imitate others
-(Tertiary Circular Reactions), 12-18 months, children begin to experiment through rial
and error.
-(Early Representational Thought) 18-24 months, children begin representing objects
and events with symbols
Object Permanence: - Answer -the awareness that things continue to exist even when
not perceived (typically 8-9 months)
Schema and Schema development: - Answer --A schema does not represent an
individual object, but a category or class of things.
Conservation: - Answer --The cognitive ability to understand that objects or substances
retain their properties of numbers or amounts even when their appearance, shape or
configuration changes. ex: liquid volume experiment
Preoperational Stage: - Answer --(Piaget), 2-6 years children cannot yet perform
mental operations nor manipulate information mentally.
Concrete Operational Stage: - Answer --(Piaget) 6-7 years, children begin to think
logically using cause and effect to things they can see, feel or manipulate physically.
However, they still struggle to think abstractly.
, Preoperational Stage Continued: - Answer -- (Piaget), children between 2-6 have
begun using objects to represent other things through exploration of pretend/make-
beleive play.
-Piaget termed pre operational children "egocentric" in that they literally cannot adopt
another point of view even concretely
Animism: - Answer --Develops in pre operational stage
-Assigning human beliefs, qualities, feelings and actions to inanimate objects
-Related to egocentrism in regard to everything revolving around oneself
Stages of Growth and Development in Art: - Answer --Six stages
-Scribble Stage (age 2-4): uncontrolled scribble, controlled scribble, naming scribble to
indicate representation
-Preschematic Stage (4-6 years old): Children begin to develop a visual schema
-Schematic Stage (7-9 years old): Drawings more reflect actualy physical proportions
and colors.
-Dawing Realism Stage (9-11 years old): Drawings become increasingly
representational.
-Pseudorealistic Stage (11-13 years old): Reflecting their abilities to reason
-Period of Decision stage (14+ years old): Reflecting their adolescent identity crisis
Music and Development: - Answer --Music is a great aid to emotional development
-Provide opportunities for guided musical experiences
-Growing musical appreciation goes hand in and with fundamental motor and cognitive
development, and social skills needed for language and school readiness
Premathematic Learning Experiences: - Answer --Preschool children do not think the
same way older people do. When it comes to problem solving, the depend upon how
things look, feel, smell, and taste. Therefore, preschool children should be given
concrete objects for problem solving
Activities Assisting Children Develop Cognitive Abilities: - Answer --Young children
struggle reversing operations. They are also often egocentric, seeing everything from
their point of view. Adults can help them take others' perspectives through guessing
games wherein they must give each other clues to guess persons/ objects and dramatic
role-playing activities.
Gender Differences in Motor Development: - Answer --On average, preschool boys
tend to be more muscular and more advanced in gross motor abilities. Preschool girls
tend to me more advanced in fine-motor abilities and small muscle activities.
Abilities in Perceptual Development Occurring in Infancy: - Answer --Babies usually
establish the ability to see, hear, smell, taste and feel as well as the ability to integrate
such sensory information by the age of six months.
