Theories Of The Four Stages Of Piaget's Cognitive Development
argumentative Essay
901 words
Cognitive development theory was propounded by Piaget in (1972). Piaget proposed that cognitive development from infant to young adult occurs in four universal and consecutive stages. The four stages are; sensorimotor - birth to 2 years, preoperational - 2 years to 7 years, concrete operational - 7 years to 11 years and formal operational (abstract thinking) 11 years and up. Each stage has major cognitive tasks which must be accomplished. In the sensorimotor stage, the mental structures are mainly concerned with the mastery of concrete objects. The mastery of symbols takes place in the preoperational stage. In the concrete stage, children learn mastery of classes, relations and numbers and how to reason. The last stage deals with the mastery …show more content…
Social interaction takes place mainly to move a young child away from egocentricism. In addition, Piaget stated that a child either held the mental structure for conservation, for example, or he did not. And also as part of their cognitive development, children develop schemes, which are mental representations of people, objects, or principles. These schemes can be changed or altered through what Piaget called assimilation and accommodation. Assimilation is the information we already know. Accommodation involves adapting one's existing knowledge to what is perceived. Disequilibrium occurs when new knowledge does not fit with one's accumulated knowledge. When one reaches what Piaget called equilibrium, assimilation and accommodation have occurred to create a new stage of development. Piaget believed that individual is primary in the learning process. This means that the learning and thinking should involve the participation of the learner. And also, knowledge is not merely transmitted verbally but must be constructed and reconstructed by the …show more content…
In developing this theory, Paivio used the idea that the formation of mental images aids in learning. According to Paivio, there are two ways a person could expand on learned material, Verbal associations and visual imagery. Dual-coding theory postulates that both visual and verbal information is used to represent information. Visual and verbal information are processed differently and along distinct channels in the human mind, creating separate representations for information processed in each channel. The relevance of dual-coding theory to this study is that according to the theory, both visual and verbal codes can be used when recalling information. However, video has enormous potential for improving learning. In addition, video-based instruction involves both visual and verbal representation of information. Moreover, video enables the students to learn Biology concept visually and verbally, also helping them to recall and remember the concept taught, which, is the essence of meaningful learning. 2.1.3 Social constructivist and cognitive development learning theory by

- Piaget's Stages Of Cognitive Development Essayanalytical essayWhen Piaget was a biologist, he was always curious about how an organism adapts to the environment, which he described as intelligence. He then thought that behavior, the adaptation to the environment, is controlled through schemas which would be used to represent actions. This would then explain that adaptation is driven by the biological drive to find an equilibrium between the environment and these schemas. Going off of this, Piaget believed that infants were born with schemas that started operating at birth which he then called “reflexes.” As the child aged, the schemas would grow to become more complex and would go about this in a series of stages. These stages are known as a part of Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development. The four branches of stages include; sensorimotor, pre-operational, concrete operational, and formal operational (“Early Brain Development for Social Work Practice:

This approach emphasizes on how children’s ability can make sense of their immediate everyday surroundings. Piaget also proposed that children perceived to four stages based on maturation and experiences. Piaget’s theory was guided by assumptions of how a learner interacts with their own environment and how they integrate new knowledge and information into existing knowledge. Briefly, he proposed that children are active learners who construct knowledge from their own environment. They learn through assimilation and accommodation in complex cognitive development. Furthermore, interaction with physical and social environments is the key and development occurs in stages. An example of Jean Piaget theory carried out in the classroom is that giving children a great deal of hands-on practice, by using concrete props and visual aids.

Piaget’s fourth and final stage is the Formal Operational Stage (11 years and over); this stage is where the child is able to think not only as in the terms of the concrete, but also think in the abstract and is now able to think hypothetically. Piaget’s theory is one where children learn in a different manner to that of adults as they do not have the life experiences and interactions that adults have and use to interpret information. Children learn about their world by watching, listening and doing. Piaget’s constructivist theory has had a major impact on current theories and practices of education. Piaget has helped to create a view where the focus is on the idea of developmentally appropriate education. This denotes to an education with environments, materials and curriculum that are coherent with a student’s cognitive and physical abilities along with their social and emotional

1460 wordsRead More - Analysis Of Piaget's Stages Of Cognitive Developmentexplanatory essayPiaget worked in the 1920s, where he had to develop French versions of questions on English intelligence tests. Previous research shows that Piaget became interested with the reasons that children had the wrong answers, (McLeod, S. 2010) and he believed that these answers showed the different thinking process of adults and children. Before Piaget put together his stages, it was thought that adults were able to think more than children. But, after his work he realized that children’s thought processes were much different than adults (McLeod, 2010). Piaget has four major stages of Cognitive Development. These four theories explain the types of stages that children go through, as they grow older. The four stages are The Sensorimotor Stage, The Preoperational Stage, The Concrete Operational Stage, and The Formal Operational Stage. All four of the stages are very different from one another but they are a perfect fit for when the child reaches that certain stage in life. The first stage, Sensorimotor, Piaget described this stage from birth to two years old (McLeod, 2010). During this stage, the children are

Piaget’s theory claims that as children grow and develop they experience four different cognitive stages of life. As a child grows through each stage they not only learn new information but the way he or she thinks also changes. “In other words, each new stage represents a fundamental shift in how the child thinks and understands the world” (Hockenbury, page 368).The first stage of Piaget’s theory, known as the sensorimotor stage, begins at birth and continues on until about age 2.

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.

- 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.

Also, as humans, we tend to want organization and adaptation. According to Piaget, humans need to arrange information and personal experiences in to the mental process, and humans will adjust their thoughts into different “schemes” which is understand something one way then adding to make it correct or change the idea to fit the thought. To understand new information, Piaget believes humans “disequilibrium” which is they will add or create new schemes to assimilate or accommodate new or existing ideas or schemas to fit new or old information.

These stages explain and discuss the process of the development so in summary of Jean Piaget sensorimotor stage, reflexive schemes (birth to 1 month), primary circular reaction (1 to 4 months), secondary circular reaction (4 to 8 months), coordination of secondary circular reactions (8-12 months) and lastly mental representation (18 months to 2 years). For example, in coordination of secondary circular reaction, mostly children are intentional or goal-directed and they have the ability to find hidden object in the first place.
