Piaget Correct Answer: Cognitive constructivist perspective of learning in
explaining how children build or construct knowledge of their world
-childrens' development must necessarily precede their learning (stages of
development)
children construct knowledge through interactions with others and through their
experience using thought process of assimilation and accommodation
ex: A child seeing a zebra for the first time and calling it a horse. The child
assimilates this information into her schema for a horse.
Piaget: teaching implications Correct Answer: support children to explore their
world and discover their knowledge
Assimilation (piaget) Correct Answer: What are the processes that children used
to construct knowledge they take new information into existing cognitive
structure of score schema
ex: Assimilation is like adding air into a balloon. You just keep blowing it up. It gets
bigger and bigger. For example, a two year old's schema of a tree is "green and
big with bark" -- over time the child adds information (some trees lose their
leaves, some trees have names, we use a tree at Christmas, etc.)
, Accommodation (piaget) Correct Answer: The process children used to construct
knowledge refers to how children can or will change existing understanding to
adopt new knowledge and revise extend or expand their concepts Jones
ex: When a child learns the word for dog, they start to call all four-legged animals
dogs. This is assimilation. People around them will say, no, that's not a dog, it's a
cat. The schema for dog then gets modified to restrict it to only certain four-
legged animals. That is accommodation.
Piaget's stages of cognitive development Correct Answer: 1) Sensorimotor
2) preoperational
3)concrete operational
4)formal operational
Sensorimotor Correct Answer: Birth- 2
-experiencing the world through senses and actions
-object permanence
-stranger anxiety
Preoperational Correct Answer: 2 to 7 years old
- representing things with words and mental images
-pretend play
-egocentrism
-language development
use a symbol or words (painting joint movements) to represent experience and
images in their mind
