Piaget Theory Of Children

After Piaget came along, he discovered that children understand quite different from adults. As, then, their body grows their brain grows too. After figuring all that out, he; then, thought these theories happened in different four stages such as; sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and the last stage was formal operations. Now, I understand more about Piaget theories when I think about one of my nephew who is now 14 years old. Whenever I was on holidays back at home, I used to love babysitting my favorite nephew Dave, but I couldn’t understand his behavior and just assumed he was weird and sometimes unique. However, thanks to this genius theory, I know understand Dave’s behavior from back then. The first theory was …show more content…

It’s a stage where imaging things happen or reversing actions. It's where children develop and engage in pretend play, some children learn how to talk like the word “mama” or play a game called “combolela,” that translates to hide and seek. I remember Dave favorite games were pretending he was a driver and loved playing combolela. I also enjoyed the game because I liked playing it too when I was a kid. Most of the kids in the U.S. play hide and sick mostly indoors, but back home, we would play outdoors in the nearest garden by inviting the kids in the neighborhood (cohort) to make it more interesting and fun. Ooh, how I miss those joyful and stress-free …show more content…

When Dave was 13 years old, he kept on surprise me and his mother with his intelligence. He would pick a topic and start explaining in detail just like how a grown person would explain. From that day onwards, I knew Dave was really growing and for sure would became not only a gentleman and but also a smart adult in the future. Unfortunately, I came to the states after one year, but the physical distance wouldn’t stop us from communicating. We are still in touch, chatting just like before, nothing really changed between us. Being a child is such a wonderful stage where no fake smiles are created, but joyful, enjoying and having a carefree life. I can only conclude by stating that we should let our little angels have and enjoy life as kids so they may not regret by the time they are all grown

In Piaget’s cognitive stage, children from birth to the age of two go through this stage. In this stage, infants are developing the ability to coordinate their sensory input with there motor skills. An example would be, when kids are playing with toys and put the toys in their month and feel with their mouth. Infants also develop object Permanence. The object Permanence is when a child recognizes that objects continue to exist even when they are no longer visible.

Piaget’s theory of cognitive development Piaget asserts, children are born with inherited scripts, called schema, these schema are building blocks for cognitive development. As a child grows, he acquires more of these building blocks; moreover, these building blocks become more complex as the child progresses through different stages in development (Huitt, Hummel 2003). Piaget’s 4 stages of cognitive development are as follows. First, The sensorimotor stage where an infant has rudimentary motor skills, and can eventually

This learning story portfolio is focused on a thirty five months old male child in a Montessori setting. The portfolio consists of four weeks of observations on the child participating in weekly planned creative activities which I planned out. All activities were weekly evaluated in order to establish the effectiveness of each and which key factors are being drawn out from creative play and how the relationships and the environment made an impact on the child’s development. In completion of the four weeks observation an overall evaluation focused on the extent of these activi-ties supporting the representation of children’s creative thought s, expressions, and the cognitive representation of learning.

When it comes to the Piaget and Vygotsky theory, which theory is most applicable to children today? Well after doing all of my research from both sides, I learned that Piaget theory is more applicable to children today then the Vygotsky theory because Piaget’s explanation about children is very accurate to how most children develop in today’s society. Piaget believed that children took at active role in the learning process, acting much like little scientists as they perform experiments, make observations, and learn about the world. Piaget developed a stage theory of intellectual development that included four distinct stages: Sensorimotor Stage, Preoperational Stage, Concrete Operational Stage, and Formal Operational Stage (Cherry, 2017).

Introduction Developmental psychology makes an attempt to comprehend the types and sources of advancement in children’s cognitive, social, and language acquisition skills. The child development theories put forward by both Jean Piaget and Erik Erikson have had substantial impacts on contemporary play therapy. In this essay, I aim to highlight the contribution of these two theorists in their study of various developmental stages, the differences and similarities in their theories, and their contributions to the theory and practice of play therapy.

If a professional is assisting children with SAD, it is important for a professional to examine the child’s cognitive, emotional, behaviors, and social processes that are interconnected to the child’s anxiety. A theory that assists a professional treating a child with SAD is Piaget’s constructivist theory. This theory studies the child’s knowing, understanding, and learning in which constructs their knowledge. What enhances the child’s knowledge is adaption, assimilation, and accommodation (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015, p. 79). How this can assist a therapist counseling a child, is by investigating what anxiety stimulations are being experienced during social interactions and what activities are the children performing that are contributing to

My play observation took place at Mill 180 Park in Easthampton, Massachusetts on February 17, 2018 between the hours of 12:15 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. This is an indoor urban hydroponic park where children can enjoy a variety of different games, food, and an open play area to interact with others. While I was at the park, I observed two school-aged Caucasians engaging in unstructured play. The children were siblings, with the boy being ten years old and his sister eight years old. When I first observed these children, they were not interacting with one another.

The first stage is the sensory motor stage ( birth-2 yrs.) , in this stage child does not know the physical object in existence when out of stage. Second stage is called the preoperational stage (age2-7), no abstract conceptualisation is possible where it needs concrete physical situation. In the stage is concrete operational stage (age7-11), starts to conceptualize with experience that accumulates. The fourth stage is formal operation (11-15), cognitive structures resembles like adults and includes conceptual reasoning.

Piaget’s theory places an emphasis on how children actively “construct their own cognitive worlds” (Santrock, 2011, p. 172). The first stage in Piaget’s theory, known as the sensorimotor stage, starts from birth to about two years (Santrock, 2011). In this stage, infants use their senses in conjunction with their motoric actions (Santrock, 2011). The sensorimotor stage is divided into six sub stages, the first substage namely being simple reflexes.

His approach of studying the development of the human mind was a synthesis of ideas drawn from biology and philosophy. He looked at human beings as biological organisms who must adapt successively to their environment. Piaget’s theory of cognitive development revolutionized the study of children’s cognitive development and it has undergone some revisions over the years. It also provides a set of basic principles to guide our understanding of cognitive development that are found in most recent theories.

Brief History Jean Piaget was a Twentieth century Swiss psychologist and was the first psychologist to systematically study the cognitive development of children. Thomas (2005) wrote that early in Piaget’s career he worked with children and his observations and interactions with the students led him to the theory that a young person's cognitive processes are inherently different from those of adults (pp. 188-9). According to Ahmad, et al. (2005) , Piaget showed that when compared to adults, young children think in differently and he then came to the conclusion that cognitive development was an ongoing process which occurred due to maturation and interaction with the environment (p. 72).

One of the most well known theories in cognitive development is Piaget 's theory. The psychologist Jean Piaget theorized that as children 's minds development, they pass through distinct stages marked by transitions in understanding followed by stability. Piaget describes four different stages of development: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operation, and formal operations. Each stage describes the thinking patterns of a child depending on his or her age. In order to compare the thinking processes of a three-year old and a nine-year old using Piaget 's theory, you must compare two sequential stages of cognitive development: preoperational and concrete operations.

and it begins with the sensorimotor stage, a child from birth to the age of 2 years old learns and thinks by doing and figuring out how something works. The second stage is the preoperational stage and in this stage children from ages 2 through 7 years are developing their language and they do pretend play (Berk, 2005, p.20). Concrete operational is the third stage and children ages 7 to 11 years old lack abstract but have more logic than they did when they were younger. The last stage is formal
