4. Developmental Theorists & Implications

Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental Theory• Name

• Jean Piaget

• The “breakthrough” of Stage Theory• Children proceed at different rates of development, but

there is an order or a sequence to the progression• Each stage is qualitatively different• Stages are based on patterns of development• Stages build on each other• Stages have the same pattern/progression throughout all

cultures

4. Developmental Theorists & Implications

Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental Theory

Period I – Sensorimotor Sensorimotor Intelligence (birth to 2 years). Babies organize their physical action schemes, such as sucking, grasping, and hitting, for dealing with the immediate world.

Period II – Preoperational Preoperational Thought (2 to 7 years). Children learn to think – to use symbols and internal images – but their thinking is unsystematic and illogical. It is very different from that of adults.

Period III – Concrete Concrete Operations (7 to 11 years). Children develop the capacity to think systemically, but only when they can refer to concrete objects and activities.

Period IV – Formal Formal Operations (11 to adulthood). Young people develop the capacity to think systemically on a purely abstract and hypothetical place.

4. Developmental Theorists & Implications

Piaget’s Cognitive Developmental Theory• Constructivist• Child makes their own meaning…

• Importance of curiosity/interest• Teacher observing/learning child

• Learning takes time• Term “developmentally appropriate”• Curriculum, lesson plans, etc. based on

developmental theory (i.e. no calculus in Kindergarten)

Assignment #2: Child Abuse/Neglect Book Review Considerations: Non-Fiction or Fiction are acceptable

Non-Fiction: More directly addressing you as the educator and your responsibilities, ideas for response/help, etc. Does it help you?

Fiction: More directed toward your students and what they’re dealing with. Is it appropriate for them? How do you know?

SPU Library: 4th floor in the Juvenile section. Lots of options but not necessarily what you’re looking for in terms of level, course taught, etc.

Amazon or Other: Infinite options, but you’re most likely going to have to buy and you’ll really want to do your research before committing.
