Editor's Notes
- According to Dolgin (2011), Piaget implemented four stages of cognitive development which concerned with the stages of development. These steps represent how the mental operations of human beings are well described in adulthood. Piaget set the foundation for development in adolescents and to utilize steps to determine mental activities in their flexible thinking (Dolgin, 2011).
- During the middle school ages adolescents are in the process of finding personal habits to keep their attention expand with the development and enhancement of current technology. Although Piaget describes this stage Sensorimotor takes place from the age of birth to the age of two. However at this stage children are dealing with more recognition than just identifying objects with the five senses including touch, feel, taste, smell, and see.
- Pre–Operational start around the ages from 2 to 7. These stages allow teachers and students to make accommodations, express emotions, and utilize resources to prepare them for concrete operation stage. However, these students tend to have a lack of conversation skills according to Dolgin (20011).
- During the concrete operational stage also known as the “school age” stage which allows students who are in school and are learning how to reason with different operations skills . These operation skills according to Bee (2002) involved the foundations of subtraction, multiplication, and division. This concept of transactions allows physical reversibility actions and mental activities; which produced gains in their learning environment.
- Formal Operations take place from ages 12 to adulthood; according to Bee (2002), the formal process takes place from ages 12 to 16. Official Operation normally is adolescents can complete problem-solving skills, understand complex situations, and use formal logic. For example, in the middle school environment, these strategies are used to have middle school students approach the problem they are facing in different avenues. The channels can result in different variables that each could face regarding their situation (Bee, 2002).
- Understanding the foundations of cognitive, moral, social, and emotional development in adolescents provide better hope for teachers in the classroom. These developmental concerns allow stakeholders to recognize how teens thinking skills impact their social and emotional ability. Adolescents are an essential reflection of the social learning theory of Albert Bandura. Teens spend more time interacting with others than doing alone. In this process we are more focus on rejection, being popular, fitting in, not being abandoned. In the classroom we are in the process of feeling attached, having hands-on capabilities, and collaborating with peers (Dolgin, 2011).
- In Kohlberg’s stages of development provide there are three levels of moral reasoning with five stages. The three levels of moral reasoning are pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. The three steps represented how hey are ignoble on reward and punishment, desire for social convention and based on adherence to universal principles. Dolgin (2011) also mentioned how effective the stages of moral reasoning has to deal with opening your mind up to higher levels of thought and a mature way of thinking. This process can adapt to middle school students by preparing them for high school and enabling responsibility in logical problem solving (Dolgin, 2011).
- In the influence process, parents can certainly control their teenager's career interests, hobbies, activities by direct encouragement. According to Dolgin (2011), parents are considered role models and can have the most positive influence on their youth during the stages of moral development. Peer pressure is a significant effect on cultures and subculture influences because depending on the type of crowd a youth engage in. However, no matter how much positivity is in youth heart their friends can steer them down the wrong path based on their environment based on barriers that intervened (Dolgin, 2011). In the society we live in today our middle school students are faced with many influences that can be positive or negative; it is critical that our youth have positive role models in their lives such as teachers who can make a difference.
- Throughout this presentation, middle school teachers were exposed to a highly developed training that would help them engaged our adolescents in issues they would encounter on a daily basis in a neutral classroom setting. The presentation included examples and tools that would be beneficial regardless of the child and their circumstances; which can be utilized for motivation and cognitive development.
