Although we use these findings still- the stages of normal childhood development/ free-play more contemporary theorists now dispute child-led development/ free play.(A more 'let them be and they'll get there' approach.) This theory focuses on the learner in isolation, ignoring the impact that society/ other people can have on an individual. Through scaffolding/ guided participation (Brofenbrenner and others) a child can have their learning extended by a more knowledgeable other such as peers or teachers.<br><b>References : </b><br> I guess you could say Piaget.
