Explain Jean Piaget's Theory Of The Development Of Children
Piaget’s Theory of the development of children
Have you ever thought of how a child’ mind works and how they learn? Well Jean Piaget has, he developed the theory that all children learn through four different stages of development. The stages he unveiled are; sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operations, and formal operations. He believes that each stage is just built on the previous, and I highly agree with this theory of development. Each stage he developed is also arranged into an age sequence according to their cognitive development. It is all mostly arranged according to the child’s growth. The human body can only grow at a certain rate and we only develop so much at a time.
Sensorimotor is arranged for birth to two years old. Children are beginning to use their senses and move more, so they’re starting to learn about their bodily functions. If you have ever had a child and they are peacefully resting in their crib or in their play area and they start crying. Your instinct is to check their diaper. The child has figured out …show more content…
There are many more examples on how these stages are easily to be proved. I believe that children need to know something before trying to develop into something else. This has influenced me to be more individual with the children I will teach because not all children are on the same developing level. It’s not all about getting the kids out of your room and moving onto the next set, but about helping them grow and develop into the people they will become. It’s about teaching them how to be successful; you’re responsible for that child’s future. I will have a system of stations set up to where each child according to their learning abilities, will get the education they will need. They all deserve the opportunity to learn everything they can while they have the chance, and we should not take that away from the
