Guest Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 What about Bandura's Social Learning Theory, he believed that children learn from one another and adults, via observation, imitation and modeling. Perhaps you've heard of the Bo Bo Doll experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory? I'll leave you to google that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 You've got me on a roll now charlie! How about this link? http://udel.edu/~roberta/play/BerkMannOgan.pdf Looks like an interesting article with a huge bibliography & relating to many theorists!

Upsy Daisy Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Vygotsky's theory that children act head and shoulders above themselves in play. In role play they are acting in adult roles. I know I should look it up but isn't one of Bruce's 12 features of freeflow play about rehearsing the future? Also she says something in there about using play to make sense of the world around them which is definitely a benefit of role play..
