FOCUS: Individual's reaction to the experience & to
the process through which understandings are formed
PROXIMAL LOCUS: Understanding is to invent. Individual
children construct knowledge through their actions on the world
STAGES: Strong emphasis on stages of development
Child's intellect goes through four stages from birth to
young adulthood: Sensorimotor, preoperational,
concrete operational & formal operational
LANGUAGE ROLE: Minimal
Outward monologues are meaningless &
egocentric speech is incidental to thought.
Language is an outcome of development.
