DIFFERENCES BETWEEN FREUD AND ERIKSON
Firstly,Those two philosophers,Freud and Erikson deal with similar goals for stages of the development but with different viewpoints,whereas Freud and Erikson developed a method for the same target.Their processes are quite different from each other.There are four major differences between Freud and Erikson and also their theories.These are discussed below.
The fist difference is that Erikson’s theory is much broader than Freud’s theory.Because,according to the information in the course pack(Educational Psychology,Educ114),Erikson’s theory is preferred to be used for development of people.From this viewpoint,Freud’s theory is less useful than Erikson’s.The second difference is that Freud has only five stages.When we compare Freud with Erikson,Erikson has three extra stages apart from Freud’s five stages.(Educ114).First of all,Freud’s five stages are;oral stage,anal stage,phallic stage,latency stage and finally genital stage.Whereas,as I said Erikson has more stages.These are;trust-mistrust,autonomy.initiative,industry,identity,intimacy,generaravity and integrity.
The third difference is that Freud was more pessimistic.Unlike him,Erikson was positive and humanist(answers.yahoo.com).For example,Erikson endavoured to solve problems with the positive way.In contrast,Freud couldn’t approach using the positive way to solve problems.He hesitated in approaching the problems but Erikson didn’t.The fourth difference is that Erikson emphasized importance of the individual responsibility.In contrast,Freud emphasized earlier experinces,unconscious motivation (Educ114).It is stated that Erikson encouraged child to do something whatever they want without thinking.In contrast,Freud didn’t do like that.From this viewpoint,Erikson played an important role of development in child’s behaviour.
To sum up,As I said these philosophers aimed to help development of the child’s behaviour.But Erikson is much more successful than Freud and Erikson’s theory is more logical,more useful for the child.So,Nowadays Erikson’s theory is being used for children’s development.

EDUCATION IN WHICH TYPE OF SCHOOL?
In these days education is more important than it used to be.We all realised the importance of
education.We need education for a beter future.And for this future which schools are beter?Private school or state school?In which school education quality is beter?Which school offer us better options than other?Like cost,acedemic etc. These cause some differences and of course similarities between private school and state school.Let’s see some of them.
The first one is teaching differences.Private schools are more flexible.According to the
information in wikipedia ( www.en.wikipedia.org ) “Private schools generate their own
curricullum and specilaized courses.”For example private school may use art in all classes or they take just students who have ability.
They can create their own curriculum and assesment systems.
But state schools do not hae an opportunity like that.They have to use what they have.All state
schools have a general program.Usually basic courses such as English,math,history etc. And
according to the same web source ”Some state schools offer programs in music and art.” And it
continues as a that programs ofcourse not quality enough.They have it just for seem to be choosen.
Second difference is students and teachers.Of course we all should admit that quality of
education is more higher in private schools.Therefore admission of teachers and students is more important.Because to get a job or education private school,you should need a good academic backround.But in state schools there is no obligation.If you are a teacher you do not need a good academic backround.Also graduate degree or etc. is not important too.And education backround is also not important for students .You just need to be in the neighborhood.Students do not need to be hihg intellegent level or interest etc.
And another difference is cost.Private schools are more expensive.And their education budget is not limitted.Therefore they can offer more facilities.They have more opportunities than state
schools.Because state schools education budgets are limitted.They do not have opportunities to make big facilities.They need charity to make big things such as prom,parties etc. for their students.
We should not forget the importance of relationship between students and the personal.
Ross,N.Kenneth;Mahlck,Lars (1990) state that “Educational process refer to the interaction between students and the personal,the curriculum,the course requirement and offering and organization of the educational envirenment as well as co-curricular and extra curricular activities.This interaction will be influenced by various other meditating factors such as levels of parentel and community support and encaouragement.”
It means shortly for our children’s future we should choose the best school.And best school
should include kind of these things.I gave some diffirences to see which one is better.Private schools are better of course.They have all opportunities.But they are expnsive and selective.But the education quality is higher and I think it is worth it!

EDUCATION IN WHICH LANGUAGE?
Do you know why should we educate in our native language or foreign language?Because
education effects all our life.For example; in a ‘job review’ the way that you were educated will
be effective.So when you start primary school;you have to think that will you get your education
in which language because there are lots of differences and similarities between education in
native language and foreign language.
First difference between education in your own language and foreign language;according to a
web site ( www.wfu.edu ) about education in foreign language “Students acquire information
and recognize the distinctive viewpoints that are only avaible through the foreign language.”
That is to say; education in a foreign language helps students to have different point of view
and the writer of “learner-centredness as a language education” Tudor(1996) states a fact
with a question “Does learning a language maket he learner feel good; can it raise his self-
esteem?” So; learning a language effects your all life.It can make a person more qualified than
the others who get their education in their native language.
Another difference is;education in foreign language has more advantages for students.It
improves students’ knowledge about almost everything like current events.Another web site
link (www.gwu.edu) gives some information about these advantages that “Students engage in
conservations,provide and obtain information,Express feelings and emotions and
exchange opinions during communication in languages other than their own.”
It means that education in a foreign language is better than in your own language.Because the
two differences above show that education in a foreign language is more useful than the other
one.On the other hand there are also some similarities.
As a first similarity between education in your own language and foreign language is the aim
of education.Both of them have the same goal for students;prepare a good,quality
future.Educate them for a good life.
To sum up; I can say that there are some specific differences in your education style.Before
starting for your education you should think all differences and similarities because your
education style will effect your learning way,thinking way,your communication way;your all life!

VYGOTSKY and PIAGET
Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories are related with psychology in education.They have many educational books about their theories.They are very famous pyschologists.Their theories are applied approximately all countries’s education systems.Although they are both very crucial and useful theories in education.There are four major differences between Piaget’s and Vygotsk’s theories.These are social approach and social contexts of learning,view on education,theory of language and teaching implications.
The first difference between two theories is their social approach and social contexts of learning.Although both theories are constructivist.Vygotsky is a social constructivis,he is interested in social approach learning whereas Piaget’s theory does not have this strong social emphasis.For example,Vygotsky’s theory says that social approach is necessary for children’s improvment.However,according to piaget cognitive development is defined as development of ability to think and reason.For instance,cognitive development plays important role in children processes and abilities.I’m stated in the book.(Educational Psychology.EDUC 114fall 2006-07).
The second difference is view on education.Vygotsky believed that education plays a central role.In contrast Piaget believed that education only refines the child’s cognite skills.According to Vygotsky education provides many advantages for children’s cognitive development.I think that Vygotsky’s theory is more useful for children.Education can improve children’s critical and mental thinking so children can find resolution for many problems and conflicts.(Educational Psychology EDUC 114 fall 2006-07)
The third difference is the theory of language.In Piaget’s theory language plays a minimal role however,In vygotsky’s theory language “plays a powerful role in shaping thoughts”(EDUC 114).Vygotsky also believed that young children use language not only social communication but also to plan and guide for their future life but Piaget emphazised young children’s egocentric and nonsocial speech.I think that language is necessary human’s cultural beliefs and value system.For example we can use a word a number of different meanings.(Educational Psychology EDUC 114 fall 2006-07)
The last one is teaching implications.In Vygotsky’s theory,teacher is a facilitator and guide,not director.According to Vygotsky teacher“should be make sure that students are provided adequate tools for learning.Student should be taught how to use tools as computers and resource books”(www.echeat.com/essay.php?t=26240 ).However ,In Piaget’s theory teacher provides support for children to explore their world and to find knowledge.I believe that both Piaget and Vygotsky provided educator with important view on cognitive development in the child I also believe that Vygotsky’s theory stressed the importance of teaching.(www.echeat.com/essay.php?t=26240).
In conclusion as we see two approaches can be explained by the differences in Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s views on learning in education.After evaluating Piaget’s and Vyogtsky’s theories on cognitive development,I believe that we should continue to learn and to discuss their theories especially we should apply their theories in education.These theories are necessary for critical thinking and independent experience.I think that we should apply their useful theories in our teaching.These theories are crucial for education life and daily life.
