Piaget's theory of cognitive development had major implications for education. It emphasized developing curriculum and instruction appropriate for students' cognitive abilities. It also focused on understanding how students think rather than just answers, encouraging active and self-directed learning over direct teaching, and accepting individual differences in pace of development. However, the theory had limitations as some of Piaget's conclusions underestimated children's capabilities and overestimated the influence of biological factors over environment and education on cognitive development.

Cognitive Development (Piaget) and Intelligence
The topic for this week is cognitive development and intelligence from the perspective of Piaget and Vygotsky. Additionally, we will learn definitions of intelligence, the predictive value of intelligence tests, variations in IQ, the role of early intervention in intellectual development, and the development of creativity.
Topics to be covered include:
· Cognitive Development: Piagetian, Core Knowledge, and Vygotskian Perspectives
· Role of Intelligence Testing in the Development of Educational Programs
· Case Studies Related to Intelligence
Cognitive Development
We will begin to examine cognitive development, or how the intellectual capabilities of infants transform into those of the child, adolescent, and adult. First, let us define cognition. Cognition refers to the inner processes and products of the mind that lead to “knowing.” In other words, how do we acquire, comprehend, and apply knowledge? What transformations must occur for individuals to develop increasingly sophisticated mental capacities?
JEAN PIAGET
You have likely heard the name of Swiss cognitive theorist, Jean Piaget. According to Piaget, people are not cognitive beings at birth; instead, they discover, or construct, all knowledge of the world through their own experiences. As they begin to construct knowledge, they refine and organize the information in order to effectively adapt to their environments. This theory of active construction of knowledge is known as the constructivist approach to cognitive development. This approach follows children through four invariant (fixed order) and universal (assumed to characterize all children) stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. Throughout these stages, infants’ investigative behaviors gradually transform into the abstract, rational intelligence of more mature individuals.

FORMAL OPERATIONAL
Piaget identified specific psychological structures called schemes (organized ways of making sense of experiences) that change with age. Initially, schemes are patterns of action involving the senses and motor functions. For example, a baby may simply grab and release an object. As the baby gets older, this scheme becomes more deliberate, and she may begin to throw the object down the stairs, up in the air, or against walls. In other words, she is thinking before she acts. When there evidence of this, Piaget says the child has moved ...
Piaget theory for Cognitive Development by Bidita RahmanBidita Rahman
Cognitive development is the construction of thought processes, including remembering, problem-solving, and decision-making, from childhood through adolescence to adulthood.
Cognitive development refers to how a person perceives, thinks, and gains an understanding of his or her world through the interaction of genetic and learned factors. Among the areas of cognitive development are information processing, intelligence, reasoning, language development, and memory.
Historically, the cognitive development of children has been studied in a variety of ways. The oldest is through intelligence tests, such as the widely used Stanford Binet Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test first adopted for use in the United States by psychologist Lewis Terman (1877–1956) in 1916 from a French model pioneered in 1905. IQ scoring is based on the concept of "mental age," according to which the scores of a child of average intelligence match his or her age, while a gifted child's performance is comparable to that of an older child, and a slow learner's scores are similar to those of a younger child. IQ tests are widely used in the United States, but they have come under increasing criticism for defining intelligence too narrowly and for being biased about race and gender.

Understanding Theories of Child Development
The research and formulation of child development theories have played a major role in the way parents raise their children, understand and nurture their capabilities, and educate them. The theories that have been prominent in the past and current centuries have sought to describe, explain, and predict behaviors, and have had the ultimate goal of trying to improve the welfare of children. Child development theories seek to explain a child’s growth by addressing basic questions or beliefs.

RESEARCH
Child development theories allow both research and application to promote optimal growth and development. A theory is an orderly, integrated set of statements that describes, explains, and endures if based on scientific verification. Theories provide an organizing framework for observations. Once a theory is verified by scientific research, it serves as a basis for practical action. There are many theories in child development and no one theory fully explains all aspects of child development. Today, experts use several different theories as a means of finding the best way to describe, explain and predict children’s behavior.
Child development theories rely upon a few key theoretical questions, including whether development is continuous from birth to adulthood or progresses in distinct stages; whether development is universal or individual; and whether genetics or environment are more critical in child development. These questions have shaped all child development theories, including
psychoanalytic
, psychosocial, behavioral,
social learning
,
cognitive
and
social development
theories.
Research into child development requires experimentation, using a variety of different methods. Different research methodologies, including observations, case studies and clinical studies provide distinct advantages and disadvantages. All research into child development must be conducted with careful attention to ethical considerations.

It has been studied as well as observed that Piaget's theory has had a most important influence on the assumption along with practice of schooling. Actually this has supported us to generate an outlook where the center of attention is on the thought of developmentally suitable schooling. It gives indication towards an educational by means of environments, set of courses, equipment as well as coaching that are consistent with student's bodily and cognitive capabilities as well as their societal and emotional requirements or desires. A theme-based developmentally suitable curriculum particularly targeted to early childhood program serving toddlers ranging in age from 14 to 26 months that is based on Piaget’s theory.
Piaget’s stages of cognitive development aspect of his theory will be the most useful to us in our future career. Piaget’s sight of how children's minds work as well as develop has been very much powerful, above all in educational supposition. In addition to this, Piaget’s particular approaching was the job of maturation that is simply growing up in children rising capability to be aware of their humankind: children cannot undertake a number of tasks until they are sensitively mature sufficient to carry out so. However, his study has spawned a great deal further, much of which has destabilized the aspect of his own, however like a lot of other innovative researchers, he anticipated that children's philosophy does not build up completely easily: in its place, there are a number of points at which it "takes off" and moves into totally innovative areas along with some abilities. If we understand his theory completely than his theory would be very helpful for us in our future. After understanding his theory we can brought up our children more effectively and more successfully. In this way we can make our child philosophy. In short we can say that Piaget’s theory has contacted more the physical and psychological traits that change among each stage, despite the fact that this is obvious the growth of theoretical thinking and the acknowledgment of future results are of course a significant aspect in any ethical arbitration. I would like to at the present look at particularly how goodness develops according to Piaget’s theory, although recognizing, like Bee observes, that Piaget is better known for his job on “the early stages of moral reasoning in pre-school and elementary-school-age children”. Yes, definitely Piaget’s theory of cognitive development changed expectation for children now I can deal more effectively with my children. His theory is also very useful in our everyday work with children by understanding his theory being a parent I can make my children more successful or competent.

Learning
Learning can be defined in many ways, but most psychologists would agree that it is a relatively permanent change in behavior that results from experience. During the first half of the twentieth century, the school of thought known as behaviorism rose to dominate psychology and sought to explain the learning process.
The three major types of learning described by behavioral psychology are classical conditioning, operant conditioning, and observational learning.
Behaviorism
Behaviorism was the school of thought in psychology that sought to measure only observable behaviors.
Founded by John B. Watson and outlined in his seminal 1913 paper Psychology as the Behaviorist Views It, the behaviorist standpoint held that psychology was an experimental and objective science and that internal mental processes should not be considered because they could not be directly observed and measured.
Watson's work included the famous Little Albert experiment in which he conditioned a small child to fear a white rat. Behaviorism dominated psychology for much of the early twentieth century. While behavioral approaches remain important today, the latter part of the century was marked by the emergence of humanistic psychology, biological psychology, and cognitive psychology.Classical Conditioning
Classical conditioning is a learning process in which an association is made between a previously neutral stimulus and a stimulus that naturally evokes a response.
For example, in Pavlov's classic experiment, the smell of food was the naturally occurring stimulus that was paired with the previously neutral ringing of the bell. Once an association had been made between the two, the sound of the bell alone could lead to a response.
How Classical Conditioning Works
Operant Conditioning
Operant conditioning is a learning process in which the probability of a response occurring is increased or decreased due to reinforcement or punishment. First studied by Edward Thorndike and later by B.F. Skinner, the underlying idea behind operant conditioning is that the consequences of our actions shape voluntary behavior.
Skinner described how reinforcement could lead to increases in behaviors where punishment would result in decreases. He also found that the timing of when reinforcements were delivered influenced how quickly a behavior was learned and how strong the response would be. The timing and rate of reinforcement are known as schedules of reinforcement.
How Operant Conditioning Works
Observational Learning
Observational learning is a process in which learning occurs through observing and imitating others. Albert Bandura's social learning theory suggests that in addition to learning through conditioning, people also learn through observing and imitating the actions of others.As demonstrated in his classic "Bobo Doll" experiments, people will imitate the actions of others without direct reinforcement. Four important elements are essential for effective observational

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Educational Implications of Piaget's Theory 1/7
• Piaget’s theories have had a major impact on
the theory and practice of education.
• First, the theories focused attention on the
idea of developmentally appropriate
education—an education with environments,
curriculum, materials, and instruction that are
suitable for students in terms of their physical
and cognitive abilities and their social and
emotional needs.
Educational Implications of Piaget's Theory 2/7
• In addition, several major approaches to
curriculum and instruction are explicitly based
on Piagetian theory, and this theory has been
influential in constructivist models of learning.
• Berk (2001) summarizes the main teaching
implications drawn from Piaget as follows:
1
2. 31/01/2012
Educational Implications of Piaget's Theory 3/7
1. A focus on the process of children’s thinking,
not just its products.
In addition to checking the correctness of
children’s answers, teachers must understand
the processes children use to get to the answer.
Appropriate learning experiences build on
children’s current level of cognitive functioning,
and only when teachers appreciate children’s
methods of arriving at particular conclusions
are they in a position to provide such
experiences.
Educational Implications of Piaget's Theory 4/7
2. Recognition of the crucial role of children’s
self-initiated, active involvement in learning
activities.
In a Piagetian classroom the presentation of
ready-made knowledge is deemphasized, and
children are encouraged to discover for
themselves through spontaneous interaction
with the environment. Therefore, instead of
teaching didactically, teachers provide a rich
variety of activities that permit children to act
directly on the physical world.

Educational Implications of Piaget's Theory 5/7
3. A deemphasis on practices aimed at making children
adultlike in their thinking.
Piaget referred to the question “How can we speed up
development?” as “the American question.” Among
the many countries he visited, psychologists and
educators in the United States seemed most interested
in what techniques could be used to accelerate
children’s progress through the stages. Piagetian-based
educational programs accept his firm belief that
premature teaching could be worse than no teaching
at all, because it leads to superficial acceptance of
adult formulas rather than true cognitive
understanding.
Educational Implications of Piaget's Theory 6/7
4. Acceptance of individual differences in
developmental progress.
Piaget’s theory assumes that all children go through
the same developmental sequence but that they do so
at different rates. Therefore, teachers must make a
special effort to arrange classroom activities for
individuals and small groups of children rather than for
the total class group. In addition, because individual
differences are expected, assessment of children’s
educational progress should be made in terms of each
child’s own previous course of development, not in
terms of normative standards provided by the
performances of same-age peers.

Educational Implications of Piaget's Theory 7/7
5. Piaget emphasized the role of two types of
relationships: constraint and cooperation in moral
development.
Relationships of constraint involve unilateral respect
and the imposition of views from authority. In
contrast, relationships of cooperation are best
suited for the development of knowledge because
they involve mutual respect, and each person is
obliged to listen to the other and to fully explain
themselves. This situation is most likely to lead to
mutual understanding, which is essential in the
development of all forms of knowledge.
Limitations on Piaget’s Theory 1/7
• Although Piaget’s influence on Developmental
and Educational Psychology has been
enormous, recent research do not support all
of his ideas.
• Almost all psychologists agree with his
descriptions on the way children think, but
many of them disagree with his explanations
on why thinking develops the way it does.

5. 31/01/2012
Limitations on Piaget’s Theory 2/7
• Problems With Research Methods
• Much of the criticism of Piaget's work is in
regards to his research methods. A major source
of inspiration for the theory was Piaget's
observations of his own three children. In
addition to this, the other children in Piaget's
small research sample were all from well-
educated professionals of high socio-economic
status. Because of this unrepresentative sample,
it is difficult to generalize his findings to a larger
population.
Limitations on Piaget’s Theory 3/7
• Problems With Formal Operations
• Research has disputed Piaget's argument that
all children will automatically move to the
next stage of development as they mature.
Some data suggests that environmental
factors may play a role in the development of
formal operations.

6. 31/01/2012
Limitations on Piaget’s Theory 4/7
• Underestimates Children's Abilities
• Most researchers agree that children posses
many of the abilities at an earlier age than Piaget
suspected. Recent research on theory of mind
has found that children of 4- or 5-years old have a
rather sophisticated understanding of their own
mental processes as well as those of other
people. For example, children of this age have
some ability to take the perspective of another
person, meaning they are far less egocentric than
Piaget believed.
Limitations on Piaget’s Theory 5/7
The model underestimates young children's abilities
and overestimates older children's abilities.
In Piaget's model, children have limitations in logical
thinking until the age of seven due to "perceptual
centration," "irreversibility" and "egocentrism."
However, critics say many children are able to
overcome these limitations at the age of five or six. So
this generalization may not fit all children. Again critics
say there are many children who are not able to think
abstractly and hypothetically during the period of 11-
15. Particularly, the age of 11 is too early to start
complex mental operations.
6
7. 31/01/2012
Limitations on Piaget’s Theory 6/7
The model overemphasizes biological influence
on cognitive development.
According to the model, every child goes through
similar stages of cognitive development and
environment and education have little influence
on these stages. An important implication of this
assumption is that education's contribution is
not so powerful on cognitive development.
Limitations on Piaget’s Theory 7/7
Piaget's model implicates that the teaching process should be
student-centered, that is, the student should be main source of
information in the educational process.
The major task of the teacher is to design an environment that is
conducive to active involvement and learning, but not transmitting
knowledge to the student directly. The teacher is a facilitator only.
The child will actively explore the outside world and try to make
sense based on his/her cognitive level of operation. An imposition
on him/her will confuse the child especially if that impositions is not
parallel to his level. This position brings out an implication about the
role of schools and teachers in child's learning a passive one. This
implication is criticized by many educators since it underestimates
children's learning abilities and the influence of schooling on child's
cognitive development.
