_____________ believes that an individual grows through a dynamic process in which the body’s internal system interacts with the
environment.
Jean Piaget (1896-1980)
This theory tries to explain how a child understands the world, how he thinks, reasons out, remembers, and solves problems. It considers education as a key element in developing one’s cognitive skills.
Jean Piaget’s Cognitive Development Theory
-is a concept or framework that organizes and interprets information interpreting one’s new
experience in terms of one’s existing knowledge.
SCHEMA
What do you call this concept? A young child may first develop a schema for a horse. She knows that a horse
is large, has hair, four legs, and a tail. When the little girl encounters a cow for the first time,
she might initially call it a horse. After all, it fits in with her schema for the characteristics of a
horse; it is a large animal that has hair, four legs, and a tail. Once she is told that this is a
different animal called a cow, she will modify her existing schema for a horse and create a
new schema for a cow.
Schema
What stage refers to “From birth- 2 years”
Sensori-Motor Stage
In the Sensori-Motor Stage. The child learns through _______ experiences.
Sensori-Motor Stage
Knowledge is based on the senses and the child
responds to people and
things through reflex
movements like sucking or grasping.
Sensori-Motor Stage
An important understanding
that should be attained on this stage is the object
permanence.
Sensori-Motor Stage
________________ is when the
object continues to exist even if it is no longer seen.
object permanence
Give an example of Object Permanence.
(ex: peek-a-boo)
What stage refers to 2- 7 years
Pre- Operational Stage
The child continues to
improve using mental images
and begins to use symbols to
represent what he/she knows
_________________,
significantly through
language.
(symbolic
thought/function)
___________ is the child’s tendency to focus on one aspect.
Centration
However,
perceptions are limited and
understanding is based on
concrete objects. The child
may find difficulty
understanding that actions or
thinking can be reversed.
This ability is called ___________________
irreversibility.
The child develops
_____________ where he/she
is limited in understanding or
appreciating others’ point of views
egocentricity
Also, the child develops the ability called ____________ He/she tends to attribute
human characteristics to
inanimate objects (ex: It rains
because the sky is crying; or
a child will put her doll to
sleep).
animism
What stage is the 8-11 years old?
Concrete-Operational Stage
The child begins to be more logical and able to perform
simple operations, begin to
understand classifications
(ex: living things and nonliving things), and can
understand reversibility (ex:
commutative property of
addition;
1 + 2 = 2 + 1
Concrete-Operational Stage
____________is the child’s
ability to know that certain
properties of objects don’t
change even if
Conservation
________________the child’s ability
to order or arrange things in a
series depending on
properties like size, shape,
height, etc
Seriation-
This stage is between 11-15 years?
Formal Operational Stage
At this point, the child is no
longer just dependent on
concrete perceptual
experiences in the present. In
dealing with situations, the
past and the future can be a
reference to know what to do.
He/she is able to analyze
problems, consider different
ways of solving it in a
systematic way.
Formal Operational Stage
- the ability to come up with
different hypotheses about a
problem, gather data to prove
them.
Hypothetical Reasoning
At this stage he/she can deal
with abstract or
hypothetical situations and
generate ideas about it
through logical thinking.
Formal Operational Stage
