Produktbeschreibung

Game Theories: From Piaget to Vygotsky Game is an important part of children's development. It helps children develop their self-regulation, creativity, and social skills. Game theories explain the nature of play and its role in children's development. Jean Piaget Jean Piaget is one of the most influential figures in game theories. He saw play as a natural part of children's development. He identified four stages of play in children's development: · Sensorimotor stage (0-2 years old): In this stage, children focus on the physical properties of play. They play games such as grasping, pulling, and throwing objects. · Preoperational stage (2-7 years old): In this stage, children begin to play traditional games, which have rules and roles. They play games with dolls, cars, and toys. · Concrete operational stage (7-11 years old): In this stage, children begin to play cooperative games with others. They play games such as bowling, tennis, and basketball. · Formal operational stage (after 11 years old): In this stage, children begin to play creative games independently. They play games such as making up stories, acting out plays, and playing music. Lev Vygotsky Lev Vygotsky is another figure who has had a significant impact on game theories after Piaget. He saw play as an important tool in children's development. He saw play as a platform that helps children develop their knowledge and social skills. Vygotsky's theory of play is based on the concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD). The ZPD is the difference between what a child can do on their own and what they can do with the help of a more experienced adult or peer. Play helps children to stretch their ZPD by providing them with opportunities to practice skills that they are still developing. Vygotsky believed that play is particularly important for the development of social skills. Play helps children to learn to cooperate with others, to negotiate rules, and to resolve conflicts. It also helps children to develop empathy and understanding of others' perspectives
