, 1.1 Jean Piaget’s theory and stages of cognitive
development in detail.
-It suggests that children move through four different stages
of learning. This theory focuses not only on understanding
how children acquire knowledge, but also on understanding
the nature of intelligence. According to his observations he
concluded that children were not less intelligent than adults-
they simply think differently
-there are four stages of cognitive development according to
Jean Piaget.
(i) The Sensorimotor stage
-during this stage infants and toddlers acquire knowledge
through sensory experience and manipulating objects
-this stage ranges from birth to 2 years of age. At this stage
children go through a period of dramatic growth and learning
The cognitive development that occurs during this period
takes place over a short time and involves a great deal of
growth.
(ii) The Preoperational stage
-language is the major development during this stage. It
ranges from 2 to 7 years of age.
At this stage children begin to think and learn to use words
and pictures. Children get better with language and thinking,
but still tend to think in very concrete terms.
During the preoperational stage, children also become
increasingly adept at using symbols as evidenced by the
increase in playing and pretending.
(Iii) The Concrete Operational Stage
-children at this stage are still very concrete and literal in
their thinking. It rangers from 7 to 11 years of age.at this
