imparting knowledge to children and should not be
as concern about their social and emotional lives.
 advocates – want students to have more home

like a swinging pendulum, moving toward basic skills and intellectual
development at one point in time and toward options and comprehensive
training for life intellectual and social development at another, and so on back
and forth (cross, 1984)
 in 1980s the pendulum swung strongly in the direction of back basis, but
today trying the push the pendulum toward a more comprehensive education
that include social as well as cognitive development.

Child and includes of child concern for the child physical,
cognitive,
and social development .
Instruction is organized around the child’s need, interest
And learning style.
The process of learning, rather than what is learned,
is emphasized.

9. Developmentally appropriate and inappropriate practices
Which is based upon knowledge of the typical development
of children with in an age span (age appropriateness) as
well as the uniqueness of the child ( individual
appropriateness). Developmentally appropriate practice
contrast with developmentally inappropriate practice,
which ignores the concrete, hands-on approach to learning.
Direct teaching largely through out abstract, paper-and-pencil
activities presented the large groups of young child
believed to be developmentally inappropriate.
