5. Piaget in the 21st Century Classroom
Sensorimotor (0-2 years)
Pre Operational (2-7 years)
Piagets Stages
Concrete Operational (7-11 years)
Formal Operational (11+ years)
Donatelli(n.d.) suggests that Piagets theories will still apply,
even if in revised and adapted forms as a teacher in an online
classroom will still need to be able to display rules,
communication, development of students and also socialisation of
students.
Cantin (2010) states that when keeping in mind Piagets definition
of learning of an active process in which learners construct new
ideas or concepts, he points out that lecture style lesson does not
fit in with this theory. He went on to explain a newtechnological
classroom he has visited, using Technology EnabledActive Learning,
that was not only modern but emphasised hands-on, interactive,
collaborative learning.
McClure (1988)states that there are less traditionalkinds of
enquiry to help the studentmature and become more capable to grow
through Piagets stages of development.He includes examples of using
real world examples in teaching to be able give meaning to the
lesson.

7. Vygotskys theory of the Zone of Proximal Development has a
direct impact on teaching practise as it reveals the hidden
potential of a student through scaffolding techniques. 8. Vygotskys
theories have teaching professionals rethink the broad stereotypes
such as socioeconomic status and ethnic minority. 9. That each
individual is just that individual.Vygotsky in the 21st Century
Classroom
10. Pavlov in the 21st Century Classroom
Pavlovs Theory
Unconditioned Stimulus
Pavlov was one of the first theorists to use behaviourism as a
theory to explain learning and development.
His basis was around 5 key elements, being unconditioned stimuli,
unconditioned response, neutral stimulus, conditioned stimulus and
conditioned response (Eggen & Kauchak, 2010)
Pavlovs work spurned further work by further theorists, mainly
Skinner and Watson (Rockey, 2008).
Unconditioned Response
Neutral Stimulus
Conditioned Stimulus
Conditioned Response

12. Skinner found behaviour can be manipulated. 13. Skinners
theories do not fit in the modern classroom. 14. Making all
students conform to the prescribed norms would take away the
student autonomy. 15. Behaviourism as a theory in the classroom is
becoming outdated and replaced more by cognitive and constructivist
theories around learning and development.Skinner in the 21st
Century Classroom
16. Continued...............
17.There is still some room for Pavlov in the classroomhowever it is limited as new theories to be embraced. 18. Skinners theories in the classroom may be drawing to an end. 19. As with any theory, none of the theorists can accurately or adequately predict what is going to work in the individual classroom. Teachers need to adapt to their audience, and this adaptation will have to change not only year to year, but term to term and even week to week. 20. Using different parts of different theories may be the best way to manage the classroom of the 21st century.
