Constructivist Approach to Language Learning: Linking Piaget's Theory to Modern Educational Practice

This study aims to explore the application of the constructivism approach in language learning by connecting Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development with modern educational practices. Constructivism theory emphasizes that learning is an active process in which students build knowledge through experience and interaction with the environment. In the context of language learning, this approach is considered relevant to increase student engagement and support more meaningful learning. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. Participants consisted of 10 teachers and 20 students who were selected by purposive sampling based on their experience in applying constructivist learning methods. The results show that the constructivism approach can increase students' active participation, improve critical thinking skills, and provide a more contextual and relevant language learning experience. Teachers who apply Piaget's principles, such as experiential learning, reflection, and collaboration, report increased student learning motivation. However, challenges in implementing this method include time constraints, a rigorous curriculum, and a lack of support resources for project-based learning. The study concludes that although constructivist approaches have great potential in language learning, further support is needed in terms of curriculum flexibility and resources. Recommendations for educators include increased use of technology and project-based teaching strategies to support more interactive and participatory language learning.

The urgency of sexual education in early childhood: A portrait of children's curiosity towards their authority

This study aims to explore the urgency of sexual education in early childhood that arises from children's curiosity about their authority. The informants in this qualitative research are five teachers and five parents from 5 different early childhood education units in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, Indonesia. The data were purposively selected based on the criteria of parents with girls or boys aged 5-6 years, heterogeneous background cluster, and integrated Islamic preschool. Data analysis using Miles and Huberman includes the process of data reduction, display, and verification with Jean Piaget's cognitive development theory and its relevance to Sigmund Freud's psychosexual. The results showed that sexual education for early childhood is urgent because children have a high curiosity about their authority. Children are formed from various stages in their psychosexual process, which corresponds to the level of their thinking ability. The sexual knowledge will determine the direction of the child's personality and behavior in the future. Parents and teachers can establish partnerships to create a basic sexual education program for children while developing socialization skills, independence, self-confidence, and positive self-concept and fostering children's religious and moral values. Although this study is still limited to a small scale, it can be an initial illustration for other regions in designing sexual education programs for children, and further program evaluation can be carried out.

Analysis of Si Pitung's Ethnomathematics-Based Home Study of Geometry Concepts in Elementary Schools

Geometry is a branch of mathematics that is often encountered in everyday life and the material taught is quite difficult compared to other material. Based on Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, children who are at the elementary school level are in the concrete operational stage.

Integrasi Teori Perkembangan Kognitif Jeanpiaget dan Perkembangan Bahasa Vygotsky dalam Pembelajaran: Pemahaman dan Penerapan di Sekolah

Education has an important role in shaping children's development, especially in terms of cognition and language. In the cognitive development literature, Jean Piaget's theory and Lev Vygotsky's theory of language development have become two significant approaches in understanding how children learn, think, and communicate. This article combines these two theories and discusses their application in the context of learning in schools. Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development emphasizes the stages of intellectual development that play a role in children's understanding of the world. In a learning context, this understanding can help teachers develop a curriculum that is appropriate to students' cognitive development stages. Meanwhile, Vygotsky's theory of language development highlights the role of social interaction and the environment in children's language development. The application of this theory includes a collaborative approach to learning that encourages more effective communication and language interaction in the classroom.

Teori Jean Piaget vs Lev Vygotsky dalam Perkembangan Anak di Kehidupan Bermasyarakat

Child development in the context of social life is a complex and important topic in developmental psychology. Two theories that have greatly influenced the understanding of children's development in social settings are those of Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Jean Piaget's theory explains the urgency of the role of cognition in children's development. Piaget describes children constructing their own knowledge through stages of cognitive development. In the context of social life, Piaget's theory highlights how children acquire and adapt knowledge through interaction with their social environment. Children learn by exploring, asking questions, and building knowledge with peers and adults. Meanwhile, Lev Vygotsky emphasized the role of the social environment in children's development. His theory introduced the concept of real developmental fields, where children can learn from interactions with more experienced people. In social life, Vygotsky suggested that children can develop cognitive and social skills through cooperation with adults and peers. This reinforces the idea that learning is a social process that takes place in a social context. The combination of Piaget and Vygotsky's theories helps us understand how children develop an understanding of their social world and how the social environment plays an important role in this process. Through purposeful exploration and interaction in community life, children can build the foundation of social knowledge and skills needed to thrive and become contributing members of society.

Cognitive and Child Language Development and Involvement in Learning

This article examines two important stages in the process of children's learning development, namely cognitive development and linguistic development, which is usually called language. The teacher's capacity to incorporate the qualities and uniqueness of each child into the learning process is essential because each child possesses these qualities in two interdependent growth processes. Appropriate learning strategies and techniques will be provided by teachers who are aware of their students' developmental needs to promote good cognitive and linguistic growth. The aim of this research is to investigate Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development. This research uses a literature review study method (Library Research). Based on the findings of this study, Jean Piaget offered a new theory that each stage of a child's cognitive development is different and has its own characteristics. Piaget emphasized the importance of actual direct involvement in the subject being studied when learning occurs. Additionally, Piaget urged all educators to help students move through the many phases of cognitive development in an orderly and accurate manner. This article also shows that teachers can act as facilitators and motivators to support the growth of these two aspects of learning.

Implementation of Learning Theory of Constructivism Perspective Jean Piaget (1896-1980) in PAI Learning at SDI Bilal Bin Robah Batulayar Village, Batulayar District

This research is about Jean Piaget's constructivism learning theory. The type of research used in this study is field research because researchers have to go directly into the field and be involved with local schools. This study describes the theory of constructivism in learning. Constructivist epistemology is a theory that describes the way a person obtains knowledge by constructing that knowledge within himself, without waiting or expecting the transfer of knowledge from others or educators (teachers). Researchers conclude that Piaget's perspective constructivism learning theory is a learning process that gives freedom to students in constructing the knowledge that exists within them. Each theory has advantages and disadvantages in its implementation, as well as advantages and disadvantages of constructivism theory in learning. The right solution to complement these shortcomings is for teachers to be able to make changes in the learning model and add insight and knowledge in order to implement constructivism theory in the learning process. In conclusion, the theory of constructivism at SDI Bilal bin Robbah has not been able to be applied in all classes because there are obstacles that there are students who cannot read, especially in grades 1 and 2. The solution to overcome these difficulties is that SDI Bilal bin Robbah teachers create a program called Diniyah Sore, where students practice reading. In contrast, in grades 3 and 4, it can be implemented properly because students can read and seek literacy on their own with teacher guidance.

Evolution of Self: Exploration of Personality Development in Kamila Shamsie's Selective Novel

The persona of Hasan in Kamila Shamsie’s novel In the City By the Sea is a complicated and multi-faceted character whose adventure from childhood to adulthood illustrates his cognitive and psychosocial improvement in the story. In this paper, we have analyzed Hasan's character focusing on his cognitive maturity and social development, discovering through his life experiences and relationships his idea of self and the world around him. Our discussion draws on Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, explaining the ways Hasan's conception of reality and truth undergoes evolution over time as he progresses from a concrete, sensorimotor awareness of the world to greater abstract, formal operational understanding. We additionally utilize Erikson's ideas on psychosocial development, especially the stage of identity versus identity confusion in his theory and the blossoming of Hasan's ego identity. The paper argues that Hasan's immediate life experiences and relationships play an essential function in shaping his idea of himself and the surrounding world. In conclusion, our research offers an insightful interpretation of Hasan's portrayal in the novel, exploring the functioning of cognitive and psychosocial growth at work in his progression from formative years to maturity. The current research highlights the utility of Piaget and Erikson's theories to interpret literary characters and unpack the interplay of both nature and nurture in comprehending the complex phenomenon of human development.

Pembelajaran Bahasa Arab Pada Anak: Perspektif Teori Pembelajaran Kognitivistik Jean Piaget

Arabic Learning in children is a pedagogical process that directs children in the early days of their growth in perceiving Arabic as a language of communication, both spoken and written. In addressing this process, Jean Piaget has provided a theoretical framework on how an Arabic learning process can take place actively by referring to the activation of cognitive processes that exist in children, which in this case are built on several forms, namely, a) assimilation as a process of changing the Arabic learning environment to fit the existing scheme in children, b) accommodation as a process of changing the existing schema in children to suit the Arabic learning environment, c) equilibrium as a process of achieving children who can handle new information in Arabic learning through the process of assimilation and accomodation, d) disequilibrium as a process where there is an imbalance in children's cognitive processes which in turn becomes a challenge for them in accelerating cognitive development in Arabic learning, e) and organization as a process of unifying various schemes by children into a system of Arabic learning that is coherent with each other. Jean Piaget's cognitivistic learning theory can be one of the theoretical basics and practical frameworks for educators in Arabic learning in children who have their own characteristics compared to adolescents or adults, especially in their respective cognitive structures.
