Read the following scenario and suggest at least 2 examples of what the practitioner would do from a Piagetian perspective.
(Note this is the same scenario from SS027 – but the task in this assignment was to suggest what the practitioner would do from a Vygotskian perspective.)
Rabiyah
Rabiyah (4yrs) speaks both Arabic and English. She often combines the two when speaking to adults and then laughs because she knows the practitioner does not speak Arabic. Rabiyah is very interested in making patterns – with beads, blocks, collage etc – she will spend long periods of time creating her patterns and will then go into great detail as she describes how the pattern was made. Rabiyah father makes lead-light windows as a hobby. He creates beautiful patterns that reflect his Middle Eastern culture
The practitioner has displayed a range of pictures that show naturally occurring patterns in the environment. Rabiyah studies them closely.


What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Im not very sure with this task but I'm still working on finding the answer

Read the following:

Once you gain an understanding of Piaget's theory of development you should be able to answer the scenario. Just read the information and try to understand it....
