JEAN WILLIAM FRITZ PIAGET(1896-1990)
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.
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.
PIAGET’S BACKGROUND PHD in Natural Science. Moving to France- Working at school. First Experiential studies of the growing mind.
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.
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.
ASSIMILATION
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.
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.
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.
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 )
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
1.SENSORIMOTOR STAGE(0-2YEARS) PERIOD: 4-8months CHARACTERISTICS: Hand-eye coordination Repeats unusual events PERIOD: 8-12months CHARACTERISTICS: Coordination of two schemata Object permanence attained
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
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
2.PREOPERATIONAL STAGE(2-6/7YEARS) INTUITIVE STAGE(5-7YEARS) Child cannot solve conservation problems Judgments are based on perception rather than logic
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
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
APPLICATION OF PIAGET’S THEORY IN EDUCATION “Learning Comes Through “Doing”- It is an active process”
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.
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.
