Development deals with changes in the assumptions or theories children have about how the world works or what logic is the most reliable; it changes over a period of years. For example, we learn to count but we develop in our understanding of number in that we know that one number can be both big and small (since numbers are not names of objects, but are relations to other quantities). The shift from naming to relating quantities is a huge change in a way of thinking. Development usually is marked by the new concept being qualitative different in structure from the prior concept. We can mark learning by more of something, e.g. more words in a vocabulary. Laura,

Thanks! Hi Dr. Forman,

I’m wondering if you can expand on this just a bit:

“what we call development, as opposed to learning.”

Thanks!

I think intuitive thought and action are essential when working with children. But it's internal and spontaneous...how do we account for intuition when we are looking for quantification? “…some intuitive level.”

But it’s internal and spontaneous…how do we account for intuition when we are looking for quantification?
