Describe the typical Cognitive Developmental characteristics of a fourth grader, according to Piaget and Vygotsky. In what way does Mr. Chang apply the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky in this case study? Provide examples from the case study. Also, describe the Eriksonian stage of Personal Development that applies to fourth graders. How does Mr. Chang's teaching support the positive resolution of the issues present at this age, as defined by Erikson?
