Children in stage one cannot think the same as children in stage 2‚ 3 or 4 etc. Transitions from one stage to another are generally very fast‚ and the stages always follow an invariant sequence. Another important characteristic of his stage theory is that they are universal; the stages will work for everyone in the world regardless of their differences (except their

Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematic study of cognitive development. Piaget was interested in how intelligence itself changes as children grow which he called genetic epistemology. Genetic epistemology was based on the 19th century biological concept of recapitulation (Piaget was a biologist first whom later trained as a psychologist). It was thought before piaget’s studies that children were merely less competent thinkers than adults. However‚ through his findings‚ Piaget showed

thought is given about the profound impact their theories have made on child development and learning. It is interesting how they both approached this topic from different perspectives and emphasized different methodologies. Educators‚ scholars‚ and parents have used their philosophies to understand how children learn and to create strategies to teach them. While their theories do share some similarities‚ there are some differences. Piaget’s theory is based on his belief that as a child grows and

In this essay on cognitive development I will compare and contrast the theories of Piaget and Vygotsky‚ who were both influential in forming a more scientific approach to analysing the cognitive development process of the child active construction of knowledge. (Flanagan 1996 P.72). I will then go onto evaluate the usefulness of these theories in understanding a child’s development. Both Piaget and Vygotsky agreed that children’s cognitive development took place in stages. (Jarvis
