As mentioned before about Piaget's
Theory, it's not completely accurate but the rate of learning usually
comes in those steps. There also may be intermediate stages such
preoperational and concrete operational thinking occurring at the
same time. Teachers need to tailor their teaching to the unique
cognitive and linguistic abilities that exists. Mexican children may
have exceptional conservation skills in the preoperational stage
because at a young age they make pottery which includes making
correct decisions with the various sizes and shapes to put water in.
In some cultures science, math and literature are not important.
Because of difference cultures in a country there are different
speaking styles, dialects.
(The Tango is important in
the culture of Argentina where it originated.
It is an amazing dance)
Inner-city African Americans can have
an advanced understanding of figurative language with its rich oral
tradition. In one scenario when a child asks his Mom how the church
service was she replied "Son, by the time the minister finished
preaching, the men were crying and the women had passed out on the
floor." As mentioned before, bilingual education should be used
for those who are non-English speakers in an English area. Students
should be eased into the English language. Incorporating students'
culture boosts their academic success. Students with special needs
need to be accommodated with. There's a great chart in here how to
deal with this.
