Development of Cognitive and Motivational Achievements in Children

One of the most important findings in psychology which is almost used by curriculum planners implies an exploration into this fact that most of the learning experiences enjoy various outcomes. This is of a great importance for curriculum planners, because the highest efficiency out of teaching will come out when a huge attention is paid on various outcomes out of each learning experience. Hence, curriculum must observe the educational goals to understand how some of these goals can come to realize altogether or via learning experiences. Lack of full understanding from mission of education sector and lack of sufficient information on the theories and findings of psychology about the learners in the context of innate abilities and their differences in the individuals, self-concept, cognitive methods, creation, thinking processes, effect of social and economic environment and growth of emotions on individuals' learning have altogether an unavoidable effect on curriculum and how to determine the content and subject and educational activities. Importance of attention to the origins of psychology in curriculum planning will more likely reveal when a huge attention is paid on the nature of learning in human especially the quantity and quality of motivating individuals for learning as well as the stages of learning growth and so forth; without a full understanding from the stages of physical, subjective, emotional and social growth at different age groups and motivating the individuals for learning, fostering humans and improving their skills and knowledge levels will not come to realize. For this, a curriculum planner must have a full understanding from the findings, principles and rules of science of psychology especially educational psychology. The present research aims to examine the cognitive characteristics at childhood in point of view of Vygotsky.
