Who’s Jean Piaget? Place Of Birth:
Switzerland Date of Birth: August
9th, 1896 First Appearance: at
the age of 11, he wrote a short notice on an albino sparrow – this is considered as the start of a brilliant scientific career.

How did he Start Working in Psychology?
PHD in Natural Science.
Moving to France – Working at a school.
First experiential studies of the growing mind.

Piagetian Glossary Genetic Epistemology: The study of
the origins of knowledge.
– Do we just add more information over time? No!
– Children are not just little adults who have not acquired as much knowledge.
– They think in qualitatively different ways.– Their thinking is not illogical, but employs
a different logic.
Example

Piagetian Glossary Schemas: Simple skills that the
individual possesses and that direct the way this individual is to explore his/her environment and gain more knowledge.
Example

Piagetian Glossary
Example
Assimilation: Incorporation of new material from the environment into a schema.
![Page 10: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
![Page 11: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Piagetian Glossary
Example
Accommodation: Changing a certain schema to fit the environment.
![Page 12: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
![Page 13: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Piagetian Glossary Adaptation: Piaget’s term of what
we call “Learning”; individuals use schemata to understand features of the world.
![Page 14: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Piagetian Glossary Equilibrium: when Assimilation and
Accommodation work in harmony together; it means that adaptation is driven by a biological drive to obtain balance between schemes and the environment.

Piaget’s Theory:Stages of Cognitive Development
Basic Assumption:– Development is children’s attempts to
make sense of the world. Development is the orderly,
qualitative, and adaptive changes in:– Physical– Personal– Social– CognitiveAspects of an individual.

Factors that Influence Development:
– Maturation
– Activity
– Social Transmission

Piaget’s Theory:Stages of Cognitive Development
Two major characteristics to the theory:
– The process of coming to know
– The stages the individual moves through as he/she gradually acquire the ability to know.

Application of Piaget’s Theory in Education
“Learning Comes Through “Doing” – It is an
active process”
![Page 34: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Application of Piaget’s Theory in Education
Learner-Centered Philosophy
Activity is Essential
Individualized Instruction
![Page 35: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Application of Piaget’s Theory in Education
Teaching at all levels of education must be
founded on the activity of the learner. Concepts
CANNOT be taught through verbal instruction.
![Page 36: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Application of Piaget’s Theory in Education
Six Principles
1. The teacher should create an environment and an atmosphere in which children will be active and will initiate and complete their own activities. The teacher should provide time to spare and materials to complete self-initiated activities.
![Page 37: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Application of Piaget’s Theory in Education
Six Principles
2. Teachers should give feedback to their students when dealing with social-arbitrary knowledge, but when it comes to physical and logical-mathematical knowledge feedback should not be given.
![Page 38: Jean Piaget His Life His Theory Applications in Education](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56649e4f5503460f94b45b4e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Application of Piaget’s Theory in Education
Six Principles
3. Teachers should let the preoperational child go through stages of being “wrong”.

Application of Piaget’s Theory in Education
Six Principles
4. Teachers should know that some types of knowledge are best learned and motivated through interaction with other children.

5. View all Aspects of Knowledge as inseparable.

Application of Piaget’s Theory in Education
Six Principles
6. If you want a child to acquire a specific fact or piece of content that is not available to him, teach it directly and reinforce the learning.

Other Teaching Considerations
Teachers are organizers of the learning
process.
Teachers are assessors of the child’s
thinking.
Teachers are initiators of group activities
Materials
Development is not automatic
Accelerations
