Children are the most precious thing in the world. They always fulfilled our dream. However, each child is unique and special on their own way. As they grow up they would learn on their own space. Children are learning new things and skills throughout their lives but, as they are developing they will have much better understanding and will be able to adapt with their process of childhood. This kind of development would fall onto the stage of pre-operational which was created by Piaget.
Woolfolk-Hoy (2004) suggested strategies for effective teaching appropriate for Piaget 's stages of cognitive development. In the preoperational stage, the teacher uses actions and lower level teaching strategies. Teaching in the concrete and formal operations stages requires higher-level teaching strategies. For example, concrete operations strategies involve hands-on learning, performing experiments and testing of objects while teaching in the formal operations stage involves giving students the opportunity to advance their skills in scientific reasoning and problem solving by offering open-ended …show more content…
