  1. Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive DevelopmentIn Children Presentation By: Tania Hegar AdibHegar Roger Polanco YoliCus Catherine Perez

  2. Piaget’s Background • Born: August 9, 1896 • Died: Sept. 16, 1980 • Birth Place: • Neuchatel, Switzerland • Education: • Received PhD from University of Neuchatel • Married in 1923 to Valentine Chatenay and bore 3 children • (Piaget, 1952)

  3. Piaget was interested in the study of knowledge in children. He administered Binet’s IQ test in Paris and observed that children’s answers were qualitatively different. Piaget’s theory is based on the idea that the developing child builds cognitive structures (schemes used to understand and respond to physical environment). He believed the child’s cognitive structure increased with development (Brainerd,1978). BACKGROUND

  4. KEY CONCEPTS • Schemas • Assimilation • Accommodation • Adaptation • Equilibration

  5. Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development • Stage 1: Sensorimotor Stage (Birth-2yrs) • Stage 2: Preoperational Stage (2-7yrs) • Stage 3: Concrete Operations (7-11yrs) • Stage 4: Formal Operations (11-on)

  6. Stage 1: Sensorimotor Stage (Birth-2yrs) • Sub- Stage 1 (0-1mo) – Reflexes / Object Permanence • Sub- Stage 2 (1-4mos) – Primary Circular Reactions • Sub- Stage 3 (4-8mos) – Secondary Circular Reactions • Sub- Stage 4 (8-12mos) – Purposeful coordination of secondary schemes • Sub- Stage 5 (12-18mos) – Tertiary Circular Reactions • Sub- Stage 6 (18-24mos) – Mental Solutions

  7. Stage 2: Preoperational Stage (2-7yrs) • Use of symbols. • Language use matures. • Memory and imagination are developed. • Thinking in a non-logically nonreversible manner • Ego centric thinking predominates

  8. Stage 3: Concrete Operations (7-11yrs) • Conservation • Decentering • Reversibility • Serriation • Transitivity • Classification • Elimination of Egocentrism

  9. Stage 4: Formal Operations (11-on) • Deductive logic • Abstract thought • Problem-solving

  10. Support & Implications • Among Piaget’s theory strengths are: • recognizes of the central role of cognition • provides a rich description of children’s thinking • tells us about children’s cognitive development in the real world • Key Piagetian principles for teaching and learning: • Learning is an active process

  11. Learning should be whole, authentic, and "real": (constructivist approach) Acceptance of individual differences in developmental progress Curricula should include four factors: allow for the differing rates of maturation of the children; provide opportunities for the children to act on the physical environment; provide interaction with one another; Support & Implications Contd

  12. Support & Implications Contd • 5. allow the children the autonomy to self-regulate through these activities so child will take increasing responsibility for his or her own actions.

  13. Criticisms of Piaget • Problems With Research Methods • Problems With Formal Operations • Underestimates Children's Abilities • Piaget’s Legacy:
