Theoretical framework approach to early childhood education

In the field of early childhood education, there are two fundamental approaches to teaching children aged between three to six years: behavioral approach and development approach.

Behavioral approach assumes that concepts are not derived from the inner child and do not develop spontaneously. These concepts must be inculcated in children and absorbed by the child. Classes are embracing the concept of this behavior using teacher-centered teaching. Children are expected to have special skills through exercises given by the teacher. Teachers always give specific information, and expect children to be able to remember and memorize. The correct response will be given a compliment, while wrong answers will get a penalty.
