The document outlines Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development, which proposes 4 stages of intellectual development from birth to adulthood. It describes the stages and key concepts such as schemas, assimilation, and accommodation. Finally, it discusses implications for teaching, including assessing students' development stages and providing learning opportunities that encourage discovery and advancement to the next stage.

- 2. JEAN PIAGET’S THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT • Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist known for his work studying children and his theory of cognitive development.
- 3. PIAGET’S THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT • Piaget’s theory of cognitive development suggests that children’s thinking does not go entirely ‘smooth’. • There are certain points where the child’s development transitions into new areas and capabilities. • These transitions take place at 18 months, 7 years and 11 or 12 years. • Piaget’s view is also constructivist.
- 4. The Four Stages of Intellectual Development
- 5. THE SENSORIMOTOR STAGE -Takes place from Birth to 2 years -The child , through physical interaction with his or her environment builds a set of concepts about reality and how it works. - this is the stage where a child does not know that the physical objects remain in existence even when out of sight.
- 6. THE PREOPERATIONAL STAGE -Takes place from 2 to 7 years -The child is not yet able to conceptualize abstractly and needs more concrete physical situations
- 7. THE CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE -Takes place from 7 to 11/12 years At this stage physical experience accumulates and the child starts to conceptualize creating logical structures that explains his or her physical experiences. Abstract problem solving is also possible
- 8. THE FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE -Takes place from 11/12 years to an adult -By this point the child's cognitive structures are like those of an adult and include conceptual reasoning.
- 9. KEY CONCEPTS Several key concepts are mentioned in this theory: • Schemas • Assimilation • Accommodation • Equilibrium • Adaptation
- 10. CLASSROOM IMPLICATIONS FOR PIAGET’S THEORY OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT • Teachers should carefully assess current stage of development and set tasks that the child is ready for. • Learning opportunities must be provided in order for the child to advance. This is achieved by disequilibrium. • Children should learn from each other, there should be pairing and group work. • Teachers should act as guides in children's discovery learning and the curriculum should be adapted to individual needs and intellectual levels.
- 11. • CURRICULUM: Educators must plan a developmentally appropriate curriculum that enhances their students logical and conceptual growth. • INSTRUCTION: Teachers must emphasize the critical role that experiences or interactions with the surrounding environment play in student learning.
