  2. For this presentation……. • Target Audience • First year teachers • Goals • The goal of this presentation is to educate the audience about Jean Piaget’s theories and beliefs. • Objectives • After this presentation the audience will understand the theory of cognitive development and will be able to apply the theory in the classroom.

  3. Cognitive Psychologist “To understand is to discover, or reconstruct by rediscovery, and such conditions must be complied with if in the future individuals are to be formed who are capable of production and creativity and not simply repetition.” -Jean Piaget

  4. Jean William Fritz Piaget (1896-1980) • Swiss Psychologist • Known for his epistemological studies with children. • His contribution in psychology was that intelligence was the product of a natural & inevitable sequence of developmental stages. • He is one of the most influential in developmental psychology influencing in the work of Lev Vygotsky and Lawrence Kohlberg, and others.

  5. Piaget’s Cognitive: Developmental Theory • Did not believe in reinforcers as a means for children to learn. • He believed that exposure to the environment would help construct knowledge and discover the world.

  6. Process of Cognitive Development • Assimilation • Accommodation • Equilibration • Schemata

  7. A child’s process of making sense of the world around… Initial Schema Schema forming Assimilation Process Assimilation occurs Accomodation Assimilation Process

  8. Piaget’s 4 Stages of Cognitive Development

  9. Piagetian classic experiment known as the "Three Mountain Problem." The girl drew what she thinks her doll sees. What the actual doll sees from where she’s sitting.

  10. Pros Piaget’s Impact on Teaching & Training • Piaget influence on psychology • Piaget’s instrumental ideas and educational thinking • Piaget's influence is strongest in early education and moral education • Piaget ideas for the classroom.

  11. Cons Piaget’s Impact on Teaching & Training • Poor research sample • Maturity and movement through stages • Critics claim that Piaget underestimates the abilities of younger children • His theory is usually described as anti-educational because it describes a sequence not alterable by education or training. (Cardwell, 2003)

  12. Example of how his theories impacted how community colleges teach adults. Piagets’ contribution to educational implications Interactive teaching: Use visual aids and models. Provide opportunities to discuss social, political, and cultural issues. Example- online discussion forums Teach broad concepts rather than facts. Learning concepts are situated in context to be meaningful and relevant to the learner.

  13. Activity: Conservation of Volume Materials Needed 2 Test Tubes with holders 2 metal cylinders exactly the same size that will fit into the test tubes Strings to lower the cylinders Water Medicine dropper

  14. Equilibrium in the Balance Materials Needed Bar balance scale Hanging weights

  15. Understanding Concepts • A child feels the rush of air on his face made by fanning a paper. Later on a windy day, he feels the wind and decides it is caused by the swaying trees. Which stage of thinking does this notion of causality represent? Why?

  16. Answer • Assimilation-The child was able to integrate some logic from previously fanning • This an example of a young concrete operational starting to use inductive reasoning taking an event and making a generalization. He feels the wind in his face and see the tree swaying to generalizes that the tree is causing the wind in his face.

  17. Understanding Concepts • Preschool children, who typically reason at the preoperational level, are asked if there are more birds or sparrows in the woods. The children reply that they do not know without counting. Which concrete operation have they not yet mastered?

  18. Answer • Reversibility. This happens during the concrete operational stage also, where a child can categorize the relationships of items.
