  1. “It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.” Jean Piaget Melissa Pineda “Thefather of childpsychology.”

  2. BiographicalInformation • Born in Switzerland on August 9, 1896 and died the 16th of September in 1980. • Psychologist and Natural Scientist. • As a child he was interested in biology and natural science and even published some of his papers before graduating. • Piaget published his first science paper when being 10 years old. • Married Valentine Châtenay (one of his students) and had 3 children.

  3. Biographical Information • Piagethadonegoal, howdidknowledgegrow. • He studiedhis 3 children, Jacqueline, Laurent and Luciennefrominfancytothegrowth of knowledge. • He wasnotonlyinterested in psychology, but in sociology, education, epistemology, economics and law. • Before Piaget, there was no one who examined how intelligence develops through childhood and into adulthood.

  4. Important!!! • Piaget moved to Switzerland where he worked as a teacher for street school for boys, he noticed that children kept making a pattern of wrong answers to some of his questions. He later proves that children’s cognitive intelligence is different from that of young adults and adults.

  5. How Does Knowledge Grow? • Children’s logic and modes of thinking are initially entirely different from those of adults. • Logic is acquired through time, growth, experience and education.

  6. ContributionstoPhsychologyTheory: • He examined children through observing, talking and listening to them while they worked on exercises he set them. • Through his examination, Piaget developed his idea of stages of cognitive development.

  7. More… • Piaget saw children as active participants in the development of knowledge building their own understanding. • Piaget argued that children try to make sense of the world around them which is called the process of adaptation.

  8. CognitiveDevelopment? • Defined as thinking, problem solving, understanding, processing information and in general the use of intelligence. • Piaget affirmed that these stages differ not only in the quantity of information acquired at each and in the quality of knowledge and understanding at each stage. • The movement from one stage to the next occurs when the child matures and has gained experience.

  16. CognitiveDevelopmentStages • Children may vary as to how long they are in each phase, but they progress through them in the same order and do not skip a phase. • Stages are universal and do not vary from one culture to the next. • Related to cognitive development. • Each stage is a logically organized. • Sequence of stages is hierarchical. • Each stage represents qualitative differences in forms of thinking, not quantitative differences.
