Jean Piaget's Early Life:
He was born in Switzerland in 1896.
He began showing an interest in the
natural sciences at a very early age.
By age 11, he had already started his
career as a researcher by writing a
short paper on an albino sparrow.
He continued to study the natural
sciences and received his Ph.D. in
Zoology from University of Neuchâtel
in 1918.
3. Jean Piaget’s Love life
He married Valentine Châtenay
in 1923.
They have three children
His observations of his own
children served as the basis
for many of his later theories.
4. Jean Piaget’s Concrete Operational
Stage
Concrete Operation
It spans from ages 7 – 11years
Is the third stage in Piaget’s theory of cognitive
development.
In this stage, children have better
understanding of their thinking skills. Children begin to
think logically about concrete events, but have difficulty
understanding abstract or hypothetical concepts, thus
most of them still have a hard time in problem- solving.
5. Logic
Inductive Logic
involves thinking from a specific experience to
a general principles.
Deductive Logic
Using a general principle to determine the
outcome of specific event.
6. One of the most important developments
in this stage is an understanding of
reversibility, or awareness that actions can be
reversed. An example of this is being able to
reverse the order of relationships between
mental categories.
8. Cognitive Milestones
Elementary- aged children learns in
sequential manner, meaning they need to
understand numbers before they can
perform a mathematical equation.
Each milestone that develops is
dependent upon the previous milestone they
achieve.
9. Young primary- aged children can do
the following:
can tell left from right
can able to speak and express themselves
in school, they share about themselves and
their families
during play, they practice using the words
and language they learn from school.
10. they start to understand times and days
of the week
they enjoy rhymes, riddles and jokes
their attention span is longer
they can follow more involved stories
they are learning letters and words
by six, most can read words or
combinations of words
11. Information- Processing Skills
Several theorists argue that:
like a computer, the human mind is a system
that can process information through the
application of logical rules and strategies.
they also believe that the minds receives
information, performs operations to change
its form and content, stores and locates it
and generates responses from it.
