Piaget's stages
The Preoperational Stage: Ages: 2 to 7 Years
Children become much more skilled at pretend play during this stage of development, yet continue to think very concretely about the world around them.
That´s why as a teachers we need to consider learner´s abilities and characteristics.
The Concrete Operational Stage Ages: 7 to 11 Years
During this stage, children also become less egocentric and begin to think about how other people might think and feel
Is important take in account the ways how children learn languages.
For example: Context, how teachers beliefs about learning affect their teaching.
Sensorimotor stage: birth to 2 years
During this earliest stage of cognitive development, infants and toddlers acquire knowledge through sensory experiences and manipulating objects.
According to Jayne when children are learning they still making mistakes even if they are learning their first language
Errors give us windows to look through and see what they have discovered about laguage.
The Formal Operational Stage
Ages: 12 and Up
The final stage of Piaget's theory involves an increase in logic, the ability to use deductive reasoning, and an understanding of abstract ideas.
This theory consists on how children acquire knowledge and also understanding the nature of intelligence. :silhouette:
