2. Two preocess underlie an individual’s construction of
the world:
Organization
Adaptation
Four stage of cognitive development :
The sensorimotor stage
an understandgin of the world by coordinating
sensory experiences.
The preoperational
begin to represent the world with words,
images,and drawings.

3. The constrete operational
children can perform operation,and logical
reasoning replace intuitive. The child is
capable consrete problem solving.
 The formal operation
beyond the world of actual,constrete
experience and thing in abstract and more
logical term. Thinking becomes less tied to
concrete reality.

4. Sensory Motor Period ( 0-4 month)
Stage -age Caracteristic behaviour
1.Reflexsive stage ( 0-2 month )
2.Primary Circular (2-4 month)
3.Secondary Circular (4-8
month).
4.Coordinating Of Secondary
Reaction (8-12 month)
5.Tertiary Circular Reaction (12-
18 month)
6.Invention of New Means
Through Mental Combination
(18-24 month)
simple reflex activity such as grasping,sucking
Reflexsive behaviour in repetition such as open&close
finger.
Repetition of change action to reproduce interesting
consequences such as kicking one’s feet.
Action take on an “intentional” character.
Pull a pillow toward himin an attempt to get toy resting
on it.
Evidence of an internalrepresentational system.

5. The Preoperational Period
Stage Age Characteristic Behavior
Preoprasional phase 2-4 years
Intuitive phase (4-7 years)
Can think about somethingwithout the
object being present by use of language.
Speech becomes more social,less egocentric.
The child has an tuitive grasp of logical
concept

6. Application of Piaget’s Ideas to Education :
The foremost issue in education is education.
Adult must learn to comprehend what children
are that childre saying and to respond in same
mode of discourse that children use.
Children come to school with their own ideas
about space,time,causality,quantity and
number.
Child is knowing creature, motivated to acqure
knowledge.
