Analysis Of Jean Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory
explanatory Essay
1757 words
One hundred years ago, Jean Piaget (1896-1980) was a young man developing new insights about learning. He was one of a handful of constructivist-minded writers and educational theorists of the time. Learning theories open educators up to new ideas. They are necessary to expand our knowledge of how learning works. Piaget’s work is a well-tested and educators around the world should be aware of Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive development in particular because it will improve the quality of their teaching. Once a teacher knows this theory, they can plan lessons appropriate to their students’ cognitive ability and build upon students’ earlier knowledge in a constructivist way.
We first need to know who created the Cognitive Development Theory. Jean Piaget was born in

Like stated before this theory does not fit into behaviorism. It fits into constructivism which is “[N]ot believe in innate ideas, but in knowledge that is constructed by each individual in interaction with his or her environment” (Pulaski, 1980, p). Cognitive Development Theory uses the environment help to construct knowledge. “[T]hrough their make-believe were assimilating and consolidating as part of their experience the customs and manners observed in their environment” (Pulaski, 1980, p. 28). In just playing make-believe the child had learned about manners and customs without knowing it at the time. As they get older, they go into the next stage and can understand more complex concepts. With constructivism, they need to be active learner and this is something that happens in Cognitive Development Theory. With that is a need to socialize with other people or students. At a young age “[C]hildren 's verbal interactions are primarily composed of collective monologue conversations”(Wadsworth, 1970, p.69). So at a young age they are becoming active learners so when older they can have better discussion about topic and go deeper into

- Explains cognitive development theory and how it can be applied to a classroom setting.
- Explains that the learning experience was shaped by cognitive development because the teacher gave the students background information then asked them questions before going into the activities so the current schema's can see that there is similarities with coexisting information.

- Jean Piaget's Four Stages Of Cognitive Developmentexplanatory essayPiaget’s theory of cognitive development involves the nature and progression of human intelligence, it deals with how humans come to acquire, construct, and use knowledge. They way we process our physical maturing and experiences from the outside world. From that we adjust our ideas accordingly. He believed that children learn through a stage-like change in understanding. The concept is known as domain general. It is like gaining knowledge and intelligence in all categories rather than specifically in categories such as math or

- Explains that adaptation deals with the adjustment to the world. there are three stages: assimilation, accommodation, and equilibration.
- Explains that piaget came up with four stages that each kid must go through in the same order. these stages were universal and happened all over no matter the culture or society.
- Explains that piaget states that we are born with a "very basic mental structure" and that infants have reflexes that control their behavior.
- Explains that the sensorimotor stage starts at birth and ends around the age of two years old. infants at this stage lack object permanence, deferred imitation, and can move onto the next stage.
- Explains that the preoperational stage is concerned with toddlers and young kids ages 2-7. they start to use symbols and develop language abilities, but egocentrism plays a big role.
- Explains that concrete operations stage is characterized by the development of logical thought. they understand concepts like transitivity, seriation, decentering, reversibility and classification.

Each stage is very different according to Piaget. Cognitive theories focus the attention on conscious thoughts which means someone is more aware of their surroundings. Erik Erikson psychosocial theory differs from Piaget’s in a several ways. Erik Erikson believes people develop in psychosocial stages, which his theory consists of eight stages. Erikson’s theory states it is the main way connect with other people. Erikson says the first five years of life are the most important part in development and each stage has

Piaget can be classified as both a constructivist and a developmental theorist. This theory describes how the quality of children’s thinking changes over time, and how a child makes a mental model of the world. Piaget disagreed with the idea that intelligence is a fixed trait. Piaget believed that a child’s cognitive development was a process, and that there were four factors that affect the quality of children’s thinking as they grow; as well as four stages of qualitatively different types of thinking through which children progress towards adulthood.

- Explains that preoperational is where children learn the use of language and symbolic representation as they lack logical thinking. piaget believed that children lacked the ability to understand a situation from another person’s point of view.
- Explains the concrete operational stage, where children develop logical or operational thought. they acquire the ability to organise objects based on physical characteristics like size, shape, and colour.
- Explains that formal operational develops hypothetical reasoning, abstract thinking, and furthered understanding of logical concepts. these developments transcend beyond adolescence as people continue to develop the ability to comprehend varying abstract thoughts.
- Explains that piaget's process of direct learning, social transmission, and physical maturation were necessary for a person to develop through these different stages.
- Explains that direct learning occurs by responding to and understanding new concepts by using a pre-existing thought process which piaget called schemata.
- Explains that schemata change happens through the assimilation and accommodation processes, which are essential to the growth and development of a person's cognition
- Explains that the influence of others through social contact and observation also impacted a person’s thinking and this was known as social transmission. developmental change could not occur without physical maturation, which is determined biologically.
- Explains piaget's cognitive theory is conceptualised through the relationship between the four stages and how direct learning, social transmission, and physical maturation influence them.

In my career and through my studies, my philosophy and pedagogy have been closely linked with the constructivist theory from Piaget. Being able to focus on a child’s interests and creating learning activities that are implemented as fun is a big part of my motivation as an educator and teacher. The educational environment needs to sustain every single child along with inspiring significant work that can result in more advanced thinking (Evanshen and Faulk, 2011, p. 225). Following Piaget’s ideas while implementing the EYLF has made for a simple straight forward way of supplying quality learning experiences for children from birth to 12 years old and it has helped me widen the scope of each experience to allow for multiple levels of developmental stages. Using a constructivist approach to learning allows for the breaking down of the experience as a whole into smaller parts which brings the focus around to the process of learning (Evanshen and Faulk, 2011, p. 667). Overall I believe Piaget’s Theory to be one of the most important influences in modern teaching, allowing scaffolding of learning in a place that that

During the few months that I was there, I was placed in a preschool classroom. I was able to learn a lot of different techniques and strategies that I will be able to use in my future classroom. Every student has a different personality so I was excited to get into the classroom and observe how to help each student. For this paper, we were asked to choose three different theories. These theories were used to help us understand every child’s developmental level. The three theories that I chose to do were Piaget’s three stages, temperament, and behaviorism-operant conditioning. One thing that I was excited to see was how often these theories

One of the first names that comes to mind when thinking of cognitive development is Piaget. Piaget’s theory is described as constructivist view to cognitive development. A constructivist view is that people create or “construct” their own view and knowledge of the world by the information they already know. They view life through the experiences and knowledge they already obtain. The essential building block to Piaget’s theory is schemes which are patterns of physical or mental action. Throughout life people just build on the schemes when they experience something new they relate it an old experience. An example would be an animal that

He distinguished four stages of cognitive development and called them the schemas. He also constructed new fields of scientific study, including cognitive theory and developmental psychology. He summed up his passion for the ongoing pursuit of scientific knowledge with these words: "The current state of knowledge is a moment in history, changing just as rapidly as the state of knowledge in the past has ever changed and, in many instances, more rapidly." He received the Erasmus Prize as well as the Balzan prize. Piaget died of unknown causes in 1980 in Switzerland

- Explains piaget's concept of 'object permanence', which is an understanding that even if the children did not see objects, they do not cease to exist to them.
- Explains that the preoperational stage occurs for children who are 2 to 7 years old. children engage themselves at pretend-play and make-believes.
- Explains that children ages 7 to 11 go through the concrete operational stage. they become more conservative and less ego-centered than they used to be.
- Explains that children who are in the formal operational stage are often 12 years or older. they get to learn about abstract ideas and moral reasoning.
- Explains that piaget believed that children's brains did develop while they physically grow, and that at each stage they go through, they grow in a clear pattern.
- Explains that there are four main stages of this theory, which are categorized into many substages each. the first is sensorimotor. babies going through this phase get the knowledge through their senses and exploration.
- Explains the reflexes, the primary circular reaction, and the second subgroup, which revolve around the display of coordination sensation and satisfaction. infants grow more aware and focused on the world around them.
- Explains the fourth stage is the coordination of secondary circular reaction. children start to show intentional actions to achieve their desired effect like imitating the observed behavior of others.
- Explains that the fifth phase is the tertiary circular reaction, in which the child begins to experience with different sounds and actions through a trial-and-error pattern.
- Explains that children's imagination roams free and begin to understand the world through mental imagery and free play rather than the pure action of cause-and-effect.

- Narrates how they experimented with khalid and asked him if the two rows had the same amount of coins or more than the other.
- Analyzes how khalid spaced out one of the rows and asked if they both had the same amount of coins. he pointed at the shorter row and said that it had more coins than the longer row.
- Narrates how they took khalid out of the room and brought fatima in. they laid down the sheet and counted the coins. both rows had the same length.
- Explains that fatima counted the coins in each row again and told them that they both have the same amount.
- Explains that khalid and fatima had solid reasoning behind their choices. they counted coins as they laid them down and when both rows were at the same length.
- Explains that khalid did not count coins after spaced out one row, whereas fatima did, and the way they thought was different, even though they both went through the same process.
- Concludes that the older the child gets, the more complicated but understanding their minds get. khalid was unable to give the correct answer, while fatima did it without any problems.
- Opines that their research proved that piaget's theory is correct, especially for teachers because it tells them what to expect from young children.
