In this video, I touch on the theories used to develop HighScope and how Piaget's theory has been contested due to his study being based in a western culture where society could have influenced the study in ways that are not accounted for. This brings in to question the relevance of the theory in countries of varying cultures and societies. It also quickly touches on a similar theory of constructivism involving the children, Montessori, who take it a step further than HighScope and put even more emphasis on the child independently pursuing their studies at their own pace by interacting with the prepared environment.
