Our educational system prepares engaging, hands on, and intensive education for the students of North Carolina. Every school system has a standard of learning that must be upheld. Teachers provide life guidance to each and every student. They display how to perform material, provide examples, and give students opportunities to develop their knowledge further by attempting material on their own. Also, teachers provide guidance for life. Children develop life skills to benefit socially, economically, and physically in the real world. With this being said, the theorist whose material best matches our school systems, in my opinion, would by Jean Piaget. One sentence could be used to create a vague picture of Piaget’s overall theory, “We should

Children begin learning how to live, play, and interact with people and objects. Learning about objects in the environment allows for children to think differently about their surroundings. For example, children are developing the skills to understand that a ball they once saw under a tree still exists if someone were to kick it into the woods where it would no longer visible. Another contributing skill to the sensorimotor period would be the ability to store new connections to the world based on their experiences. During the preoperational period children begin to develop a sense of knowing what an object is and looks like without having it present. For example, if someone were to say “Look at that deer!” the child would immediately create a mental image of what they were looking for. Children continue to have an egotistical view of the world. They do not understand situations from the point of view of others. Slowly they begin learning to classify, role-play, and place objects in chronological …show more content…
Children no longer have a dependence on the visual aspect of objects. They can begin using the knowledge they have to create reverse operations and use logic to answer questions and solve problems. Throughout this period, children discover the practice of “conservation”. Conservation is understanding the relationship between amount and appearance. If you were to hand a child a bowl with five chips and another with the same amount except they were crushed up the child would be able to realize even though they look very different they are still the same amount. Formal operations period is the last period included in Piaget’s “periods of cognitive development.”. Extending into adolescence, this period ranges from ages eleven to fifteen. Young adults begin to form sophistication, deeper thinking, and the ability to come up with logical answers to physical, social and moral issues. During this stage, individuals are forming themselves as people and sculpting their way into
