Margaret and Rachel McMillian con't

  • Came up with the concept of "tools of the mind".

  • Felt that children's learning is controlled by their environment until they are able to use mental tools- things that will help extend oh mental abilities.

  • More than just learning facts, it's learning in an intentional and purposeful way

  • Created the Cultural-Historical theory. This is the idea that the history and culture of the society the child grows up in determines what mental tools the child will use and how they will shape their minds.

Also, he focused on the importance of The Zone of Poximal Development (when the child is learning new knowledge while making progress on their development) and the idea of scaffolding (different aged children require different types).

  • began a campaign to improve the health of children by arguing that the local authorities should install bathrooms, improve ventilation and provide free school meals
  • Opened the Deptford Clinic in 1910 that served a number of area schools by providing dental help, surgical aid, and lesson in breathing and posture
  • Believed in the Developmental Interaction approach
  • Mitchell and Johnson worked together to observe developmental and learning practices
  • Founded the "Play School" together
  • believed students had a natural desire to learn
  • wanted students to develop themselves
  • what environment students grew the best in
  • Main people involved in BEE, Bureau of Educational Experiments
  • children's advocate (late 1800s, early 1900s)
