3. JEAN WILLIAM FRITZ PIAGET(1896-1990)
Jean William Fritz Piaget was born in Neuchatel on 9
August 1896,the first child of Arthur and Rebecca-Suzanne
Piaget. Neuchatel, where Piaget grew up with his two
sisters Madeleine(1899-1976)and Marthe (1903-1985),is
the capital of the canton of the same name in west
Switzerland. Piaget was to pursue his career as a
developmental psychologist and cognitive theorist 120km
away in geneva.
4. PIAGET’S BACKGROUND
Swiss Psychologist, worked for several decades on
understanding children’s cognitive development.
Most widely known theory of cognitive development.
He was intrigued by kid’s thoughts and behavior, and
worked to understand their cognitive development.
First appearance: At the age of 11,he wrote short notice
on an albino sparrow-this is considered as the start of
brilliant scientific career.
5. PIAGET’S BACKGROUND
PHD in Natural Science.
Moving to France- Working at school.
First Experiential studies of the growing mind.
6.
7. BASIC CONCEPT IN PIAGET’S THEORY
SCHEMA: Schema is previous knowledge or behaviour
pattern in the mind of learner. Schema help to understand
and respond to physical world.
8.
9. BASIC CONCEPT IN PIAGET’S THEORY
ADAPTATION PROCESS: The adaptation is
fundamental process of building
schemes/schemata through direct interaction
with the physical environment/world.
adaptation involves two contemporary
activities or dual mechanism i.e. assimilation
and accommodation.
11. BASIC CONCEPT IN PIAGET’S THEORY
ASSIMILATION: adaptation is a total process and
assimilation is one of this process. It is an activity in
which learner uses current/existing schemas to interpret
to know/to recognize/to respond/to perceive/to add/to
incorporate external event or environment in the mind.
12. BASIC CONCEPT IN PIAGET’S THEORY
ACCOMODATION: It is part of adaptation process in which
learner either change/adjust/modify old schema or create
new schema in the mind to make balance between self
and environment.
13.
14. BASIC CONCEPT IN PIAGET’S THEORY
Equilibration: When Assimilation and accommodation work
in harmony together, it means that adaptation is driven by
biological drive to obtain balance between schemas and
the environment.
15. PIAGET’S THEORY:
STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
1.SENSORYMOTOR STAGE(0-2YERS)
2.PREOPERATIONAL STAGE(2-6/7YERS)
3.CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE(6/7-11YERS)
4.FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE(11-15YERS)
16. 1.SENSORIMOTOR STAGE(0-2YEARS)
In this stage infant uses senses and motor abilities to
understand the world.
PERIOD: 0-1months
CHARACTERISTICS: Reflex activity only
No differentiation
PERIOD: 1-4 months
CHARACTERISTICS: Hand-mouth coordination
Differentiation by sucking
18. 1.SENSORIMOTOR STAGE(0-2YEARS)
PERIOD: 12-18months
CHARACTERISTICS: New means through experimentation
follow sequential displacements
PERIOD: 18-24months
CHARACTERISTICS: Internal representations
New means through mental
combination
19. 2.PREOPERATIONAL STAGE:(2-6/7YEARS)
OBJECT PERMANENCE:
The development of internal representation permits the
young child to begin to use symbols to represent objects.
EGO CENTRIC STAGE(2-4YEARS)
Problems are solved through representation
Language develops
Thought and logic are both EGOCENTRIC
21. 3.CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGE
(7-11YEARS)
CONSERVATIVE TASKS:
Child attains reversibility
Child can solve conservative problems
Logical operations developed and applied to concrete
problems
Child cannot solve complex verbal problems
22. 4.FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGE
(11-15YEARS)
LOGICAL OPERATIONS:
Child can logically solve all types of problems
Child can think scientifically
Child can solve complex verbal problems
Cognitive structures attained
23. APPLICATION OF PIAGET’S THEORY IN
EDUCATION
“Learning Comes Through “Doing”- It is an
active process”
24. EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF PIAGET’S
THEORY
Within the classroom, learning should be student-centered and
accomplished through active discovery learning.
The role of teachers is to facilitate learning, rather than direct
tuition.
Therefore, teacher should encourage the following within the
classroom:-
Using active methods that require rediscovering or
reconstructing truth.
25. EDUCATIONAL IMPLICATIONS OF PIAGET’S
THEORY
Using collaborative as well as individual activities
Devising situations that present useful problems, and create
euilibrium in the child
Evaluate the level of the child’s development so suitable tasks
can be set
Emphasis on practices aimed at making children think like
adults.
The cognitive theory states that the child has to be actively
involved in the teaching-learning process for his or her
intellectual growth.
