theory. Piaget suggested that there were four major cognitive stages in logical development‚ corresponding to four successive forms of knowledge. During each of these stages‚ children were hypothesized to think and reason in a different way. These stages‚ and their approximate ages of occurrence‚ were: the sensory-motor period (0-2 years)‚ the period of pre-operations (2-7 years)‚ the period of concrete operations (7-11 years) and the period of formal operations (11-12 years on).

The spinoff play made by Tom Stoppard‚ Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead‚ has the readers(audience) follow along the two supporting characters from Shakespeare’s classic Hamlet.

three theorists’ thoughts on this matter. One of the most well-known early childhood theorists is‚ Jean Piaget with his theory of cognitive development. Next is Howard Gardner who first took his theory from Piaget’s basis but developed it further into the theory of multiple intelligences. The final theorist to be covered is Lev Vygotsky and his theory of language development. Jean Piaget worked with Alfred Binet in an experimental laboratory on intelligence tests; through this experience‚ he

theorists have differing opinions about. (Slavin‚ 2009) Two theorists that display the basic premises of cognitive development are Jean Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. Both theorists have similarities and differences when it comes to their views on cognitive development. We will first begin with the views of the two on the nature or development of intelligence. Piaget believed that children are naturally born with the ability to both interact with and make sense of their environment. Children as well as

teachers are offering opportunities to widen their creativity and enhance their learning (Berk‚ 2010). Through their exploring and thinking students are taking on an active role in their learning and knowledge building. According to Castronova (n.d)‚ “Piaget was the first to show that children were not “empty vessels” to be filled with knowledge‚ but active builders of knowledge.” With our current access to so much on the internet and through technology‚ there are many more opportunities for teachers

According to Piaget‚ children actively seek out information and adapt it to the knowledge and conceptions of the world that they already have. Piaget thinks that his stages represent broad ways of thinking. Piaget described four distinct periods of cognitive development (sensorimotor intelligence‚ preoperational thought‚ concrete operations‚ and formal operations). The sensorimotor intelligence period begins at birth and ends at about 24 months. Piaget called it sensorimotor intelligence because

of learning at the child ’s own pace. Jean Piaget was a pioneer in the field of early childhood education. The legacy of Jean Piaget to the world of early childhood education is that he fundamentally altered the view of how a child learns. In addition‚ a teacher‚ he believed‚ was more than a transmitter of knowledge she was also an essential observer and guide to helping children build their own knowledge.
