HW 1 Piaget

Piaget's stages of cognitive development include 4 main stages: 1. Sensorimotor stage - focuses on senses and motor skills, children learn object permanence. 2. Pre-operational stage - symbolic thought emerges, egocentrism is prominent. 3. Concrete operational stage - logical thought emerges but limited to concrete objects, conservation skills develop. 4. Formal operational stage - abstract and hypothetical thought allows for reasoning about abstract problems and concepts.

Jean Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development

Task A: The Cognitive Development Stages

Stage Description Distinct Features


- the child becomes more
organized in his movement
and activities. This focuses a. object permanence
on the prominence of the
1. Sensorimotor senses and muscles. The
infant tries to learn more
about himself and the
world.
a. symbolic function
b. egocentrism
2. pre- - the child can make mental c. centration
operational representation and is able d. irreversibility
stage to pretend; pretend to play e. animism
f. transductive
reasoning

3. concrete- - ability of the child to think a. decentering


operational logically but only in terms b. reversibility
stage of concrete objects c. conservation
d. seriation

- the child’s thinking a. hypothetical


4. formal becomes more logical. They reasoning
operational can now solve abstract b. analogical
problems and can reasoning
hypothesize. c. deductive
reasoning

Task B: Drawing Out Implications

1. Children will provide different explanations of reality at different stages of


cognitive development

2. Cognitive development is facilitated by providing activities and situations


that will engage the learners and will require adaptation
3. learning materials and activities should involve the appropriate level of
motor or mental operations for a child of a given age. Avoid asking students
to perform tasks that are beyond their motor and cognitive capabilities.

4. Used teaching methods that would actively involve students and present
challenges
