INTRODUCTION
Piaget was born in Switzerland in the late 1800s and was a precocious
student, publishing his first scientific paper when he was just 11 years
old.
Much of Piaget's interest in the cognitive development of children was
inspired by his observations of his own nephew and daughter. These
observations reinforcedhis budding hypothesis that children's minds were
not merely smaller versions of adult minds.
Instead, he proposed,intelligence is something that grows and develops
through a series of stages.
Based on his observations,he concluded that children were not less
intelligent than adults, they simply think differently.
Piaget's stage theory describesthe cognitive developmentof
children. Cognitive developmentinvolves changes in cognitive process
and abilities.
THE STAGES
Through his observations of his children, Piagetdeveloped astage theory
of intellectual development that included four distinct stages:
1.Sensorimotor Stage
Ages: Birth to 2 Years
Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes:
 The infant knows the world through their movements and sensations
 Children learn about the world through basic actions such as
sucking, grasping, looking, and listening
 Infants learn that things continue to exist even though they cannot
be seen.
 They are separate beings from the people and objects around them
 They realize that their actions can cause things to happen in the
world around them
2.Preoperational Stage
Ages: 2 to 7 Years
Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes:
 Children begin to think symbolically and learn to use words and
pictures to represent objects.
 Children at this stage tend to be egocentric and struggle to see
things from the perspective of others.
 While they are getting better with language and thinking, they still
tend to think about things in very concrete terms.
3.The Concrete Operational Stage
Ages: 7 to 11 Years
Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes
 During this stage,children beginto thinking logically about concrete
events
 They begin to understand the concept of conservation; that the
amount of liquid in a short, wide cup is equal to that in a tall, skinny
glass, for example
 Their thinking becomes more logical and organized, but still very
concrete
 Children begin using inductive logic, or reasoning from specific
information to a general principle
4.The Formal Operational Stage
Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes:
 At this stage, the adolescent or young adult begins to think
abstractly and reason about hypothetical problems
 Abstract thought emerges
 Teens begin to think more about moral, philosophical, ethical,
social, and political issues that require theoretical and abstract
reasoning
 Begin to use deductive logic, or reasoning from a general principle
to specific information
 Important Concepts of piaget’s Theory
 To better understand some of the things that happen during
cognitive development, it is important first to examine a few of the
important ideas and concepts introduced by Piaget.
 The following are some of the factors that influence how children
learn and grow:
 Schemas
 A schema describes both the mental and physical actions involved
in understanding and knowing. Schemas are categories of
knowledge that help us to interpret and understand the world.
 Assimilation
 The process of taking in new information into our already existing
schemas is known as assimilation.
 Accommodation
 Another part of adaptation involves changing or altering our existing
schemas in light of new information, a process known as
accommodation. Accommodation involves modifying existing
schemas, or ideas, as a result of new information or new
experiences. New schemas may also be developed during this
process.
 Equilibration
 Piaget believed that all children try to strike a balance between
assimilation and accommodation, which is achieved through a
mechanism Piaget called equilibration.

  • 1. INTRODUCTION Piaget was born in Switzerland in the late 1800s and was a precocious student, publishing his first scientific paper when he was just 11 years old. Much of Piaget's interest in the cognitive development of children was inspired by his observations of his own nephew and daughter. These observations reinforcedhis budding hypothesis that children's minds were not merely smaller versions of adult minds. Instead, he proposed,intelligence is something that grows and develops through a series of stages. Based on his observations,he concluded that children were not less intelligent than adults, they simply think differently. Piaget's stage theory describesthe cognitive developmentof children. Cognitive developmentinvolves changes in cognitive process and abilities. THE STAGES Through his observations of his children, Piagetdeveloped astage theory of intellectual development that included four distinct stages: 1.Sensorimotor Stage Ages: Birth to 2 Years Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes:  The infant knows the world through their movements and sensations  Children learn about the world through basic actions such as sucking, grasping, looking, and listening  Infants learn that things continue to exist even though they cannot be seen.  They are separate beings from the people and objects around them  They realize that their actions can cause things to happen in the world around them 2.Preoperational Stage
  • 2. Ages: 2 to 7 Years Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes:  Children begin to think symbolically and learn to use words and pictures to represent objects.  Children at this stage tend to be egocentric and struggle to see things from the perspective of others.  While they are getting better with language and thinking, they still tend to think about things in very concrete terms. 3.The Concrete Operational Stage Ages: 7 to 11 Years Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes  During this stage,children beginto thinking logically about concrete events  They begin to understand the concept of conservation; that the amount of liquid in a short, wide cup is equal to that in a tall, skinny glass, for example  Their thinking becomes more logical and organized, but still very concrete  Children begin using inductive logic, or reasoning from specific information to a general principle 4.The Formal Operational Stage Major Characteristics and Developmental Changes:  At this stage, the adolescent or young adult begins to think abstractly and reason about hypothetical problems  Abstract thought emerges  Teens begin to think more about moral, philosophical, ethical, social, and political issues that require theoretical and abstract reasoning  Begin to use deductive logic, or reasoning from a general principle to specific information  Important Concepts of piaget’s Theory
  • 3.  To better understand some of the things that happen during cognitive development, it is important first to examine a few of the important ideas and concepts introduced by Piaget.  The following are some of the factors that influence how children learn and grow:  Schemas  A schema describes both the mental and physical actions involved in understanding and knowing. Schemas are categories of knowledge that help us to interpret and understand the world.  Assimilation  The process of taking in new information into our already existing schemas is known as assimilation.  Accommodation  Another part of adaptation involves changing or altering our existing schemas in light of new information, a process known as accommodation. Accommodation involves modifying existing schemas, or ideas, as a result of new information or new experiences. New schemas may also be developed during this process.  Equilibration  Piaget believed that all children try to strike a balance between assimilation and accommodation, which is achieved through a mechanism Piaget called equilibration.
