Jean Piaget a well-known and first psychologist to make a systemic study of cognitive development. He was a very talented scholar and his first scientific paper, on the Albino Sparrow published at the age of ten. After he received his doctoral degree at the age of twenty-two, Piaget formally began his career that would have a profound impact on psychology and education.
Today, Piaget is best known for his research on children’s cognitive development. He studied the intellectual development of his own three children and created a theory that described the stages that children pass through in the development of intelligence and formal thought processes.
He outlined that there are four stages of cognitive development the sensorimotor …show more content…
Then she was instructed to arrange the numbers orally in ascending order. After she had stated her answer, she then glued her cut out in ascending order onto the worksheet.
Results The child was able to order the numbers correctly. Although the child is at the pre operational stage she was able to perform task at the concrete operational level.
Seriation of numbers
Children A child from the Concrete Operational Stage ( 7- 11 years)
Materials used pencil, index cards
Procedures Firstly the child identified the numbers written on the index cards. She then had to arrange the numbers from the smallest to the largest.
Results The child was able to arrange the numbers correctly. She is in keeping with Piaget’s theory of cognitive development.
Irreversibility
Children A child from the Pre-operational Stage ( 4 – 7 years)
Materials used worksheets and glue
Procedures The child was presented with two number sentences (i) 5 + 2 …show more content…
She then had the task to solve the problem.
Results The child was able to solve the problems correctly. According to Piaget’s theory during the pre-operational stage the child would encounter problems thinking backwards, but the results showed that the child’s rate of development is higher than the pre-operational stage.
