In study Unit 1 according to the the theorists theories in the holistic development,Erikson believes that the development of children relies heavily on interaction with others(social) and forming relationships with people.so with regards to the teaching context this implies that it is important for teachers to form relationships with their learners as well as forming activities that will encourage learners to have relationships with each other.the theory further more emphasises that the implementation of interaction and relationships leads learners to feeling safe,loved and cared for within the school or classroom.Accordding to Piagets theory,children they learn by building new knowledge into the knowledge that has been existing before in them,this theory categorizes the children knowledge based on two stages(Pre operational and concrete operational stage).on the preoperational stage children cannot fully think although they think they can,they only aware of their surroundings and they think everyone think according to their way of thinking.and on the concrete operational stage,this is the stage where children have the ability to logically think,they can solve problems and can successfully engage on learning activities.the third theory is the Zone of proximal theory by Viygotsky,this theory suggests that the children's thinking is influenced by their social and cultural aspects,it suggests that in order to understand the learners development you need to consider the environment which they come from and their personality.
