Piaget's Four Stages Of Cognitive Development

When it comes to classroom design layout, it is very important that the classroom is developmentally appropriate.

Piaget trusted that everybody went through constant grouping of four subjectively particular stages. According to Piaget children learn through experiences through the world. Piaget trusted that we take past encounters we have found out going to adjust and develop in new encounters. (Lefrançois, G. R. (2012) Piaget is said to have come up with the cognitive theory by observing his own children. Furthermore, he is known for his four noteworthy stages of cognitive development prompting the capacity with respect to grown-up thought, which are as
The quiet area will encourage reading, and by turning the pages of a book, the children are using their muscles, fingers and hands. It helps the children strengthen their fine motor skills. The circular rug is setup for circle time, there the children will gather together with the teacher for singing, jumping, and dancing. This helps with the children’s gross motor skills, because the whole body is being used it and strengthens their physical development. Follow the leader is another great activity, children get to hop, jump, roll, etc when playing this game. Another activity that I can do with my students is to play with a ball. Children get to throw, kick and catch the ball when playing ball. This aligns with Piaget’s stage theory because children are less dependent on sensorimotor
