The Case of Darshan



The Case of Darshan

The significance and importance of assessment in early childhood education has never been as integral to the accountability of the field as it is today. Almost every teacher has shy children in the classroom. Encouraging them to communicate effectively can make a huge difference in their schoolwork, as well as in their lives. Stages of child development are the subject of numerous studies that allow uncovering periods and pivotal moments in the development of language, cognitive, social and emotional, sensory and motor of the child (Mayer, 2003). In this paper we will be discussing Darshan case and the steps that can overcome the prevailing problems.

Most of the parents hope that their child will love to go to school, and they will interact easily with the outside world and they will love to participate in the class room activities. However not all child act in the similar way particularly those who are reserved or shy. As mentioned the case of Darshan. Where the child does not have the confidence to interact with others and does not initiate interactions with other children. There are several theories on giving importance to such children by keeping them involved in the classroom activities.

Since the last century, researchers such as Walloon, Vygotsky, Piaget and Bruner highlighted milestones in the development of the child, the importance of the action of the child's environment and the interactions, including in mastering the language (Gardner, 1999). More recent work has shown, however, that development is uneven, nonlinear, it has also stagnation or regression, and the concept development stage has been questioned (Pressley & Harris, 2006).

Moreover, Piaget, Spencer and Rousseau theories do not provide the best lends where one can view the contribution science were expected for making a more prominent role for the education phenomena. The early educational theorist Plato has recognized that children thinking are immature and it becomes more sophisticated as children grow older. A starting point for this examination of educational research during the past seventy-five years will be the reception, dismissal, hesitant acceptance, enthusiastic adoption, and apparent decline in the influence on education of Jean Piaget's ideas about development.

From Piaget to Vygotsky, there have been several studies that have taken lifetimes trying to explain the fascinating process of learning in children. Other studies have allowed a better understanding of how children build not only representations of the physical world, but also a "theory of mind", that is to say, a representation of desires, knowledge and beliefs others. They also have to rethink the relationship of children's imagination and how fiction can help them solve problems and think logically. It is often analyzed that children express their emotions and build relationships with people who care for them from the beginning of life (Mayer, 2003). Thus, it is in the interaction between development and learning, with the guidance of the teacher, the child will develop, building concepts, and developing its language in connection with the development of motor skills, emotional ...
