Jean Piaget 1896 1980 What did Piaget mean

Disequilibrium Constructs initial schema about bunny And this is a bunny. Assimilates information Equilibrium

Disequilibrium Hops and is in a cage? ? Lets go to Queens Park Assimilates

Disequilibrium This does fit within current schema Look over here It’s a Pig Accommodation

0 – 2 years - Infancy SENSORIMOTOR During infancy behaviour is sensory – Touching

2 – 7 years Pre – School, Early Primary School PREOPERATIONAL Children use symbolism

7 – 11 years - Late Primary School CONCRETE OPERATIONS Children acquire mental operations

11 years – Older FORMAL OPERATIONS Adolescents think about thinking. They use mental operations

0 – 2 years - Infancy SENSORIMOTOR During infancy behaviour is sensory – Touching and motor – grasping KEY FEATURE: Object Permanence

2 – 7 years Pre – School, Early Primary School PREOPERATIONAL Children use symbolism – Language, Images – to represent various aspects of their environment KEY FEATURE: Egocentrism

7 – 11 years - Late Primary School CONCRETE OPERATIONS Children acquire mental operations and apply them to solve concrete problems they face KEY FEATURE: Conservation

11 years – Older FORMAL OPERATIONS Adolescents think about thinking. They use mental operations to consider unseen hypotheses and solve abstract problems KEY FEATURE: Abstract Reasoning

Jean Piaget 1896 -1980 Weaknesses • Stages may be more fluid in the ages where they start and finish, some people don’t even reach formal operations • Social and cultural impact was not a focus • Observation and clinical interviews are more open to biased interpretation • Several studies have shown Piaget underestimated the abilities of children because his tests were sometimes confusing or difficult to understand • Piaget carried out his studies with a small sample size and his own children.
