    Erikson's theory of psychosocial development has several educational implications: 1. It reinforces how teachers must recognize the influence of social context in understanding students and the interaction between teachers and students. 2. Erikson sees people as active in their own development, so teachers should create opportunities for students to explore psychosocial challenges. 3. The theory underlines the importance of recognizing individual diversity and differences, as people vary in how they progress through developmental stages. 4. Erikson's theory views development as interdependent between emotional, social, physical, cognitive, moral, and spiritual aspects. Teachers should see students as whole persons.

    Educational implications of
    Erickson’s theory

    Presented by Ms Daphney Mawila


    Activity
    Self-reflection (Individual activity): (Hardman et al., 2012)
     1. Using Erikson’s theory, recall your own experiences at
    school in stage 4 (Industry versus Inferiority). Think about
    how this experience shaped your development. How will
    you use this insight to promote the development of your
    learners?

     2. Consider the cultural beliefs and practices in your own


    social context. How do you think they could shape the
    development of children from stage 1 to 4 in Erikson’s
    theory?
    Erikson Psychosocial Stages
    Stage (age)
    : Psychosocial crisis Significant relations Psychosocial virtues

    I (0-1) -- infant trust vs mistrust mother hope, faith

    II (2-3) -- toddler autonomy vs shame and doubt parents will, determination

    III (3-6) --
    initiative vs guilt family purpose, courage
    preschooler
    IV (7-12 or so) -- school-age
    industry vs inferiority neighbourhood and schoolcompetence
    child

    V (12-18 or so) -- adolescence ego-identity vs role-confusion peer groups, role models fidelity, loyalty

    VI (the 20’s) -- young


    intimacy vs isolation partners, friends love
    adult

    VII (late 20’s to 50’s) -- middle adult generativity vs self-absorption household, workmates care

    VIII (50’s and beyond) -- old adult integrity vs despair mankind or “my kind” wisdom
    What are the educational implications of
    Erickson’s theory?

    Psychosocial interaction
    Erikson’s theory reinforces how you as
    a teacher constantly need to recognise
    the influence of social context in
    understanding your students, yourself,
    and the interaction between you.
     Active involvement
    Erikson sees people as active in their
    own development. As with cognitive
    development, you as a teacher need to
    create opportunities for your learners
    to explore and re-explore the
    psychosocial challenges they are
    confronting at the moment, as well as
    those they have previously
    encountered.
    Individual variation
    Although people may be experiencing
    similar challenges at any one stage,
    individual people vary in what they
    bring to that stage and how they will
    progress through it.
    The theory underlines the importance
    of recognising diversity and individual
    differences.
     Interdependence of developmental
    aspects
    In line with Erikson’s theory, not only
    the emotional and social aspects, but
    also the physical, cognitive, moral, and
    spiritual aspects of development are all
    implicitly integrated and
    interdependent in the whole cycle.
    Seeing your students as whole persons –
    more than their cognitive or scholastic
    ‘parts’ alone
    Activity

     1. Small group discussion: What are the educational


    implications of Erikson’s theory?
     • Social construction of knowledge
     • Psychosocial interaction
     • Individual variation
     • Interdependence of developmental aspects

     2. What do you think are important issues, problems and


    concerns related to childhood development in Africa that
    teachers should be trying to understand and respond to?
