Learning Log

Piaget's Theory- Learn better by doing. Equilibrium process.


Formal Operations Stage (11-though adulthood)

1.Ability to reason about abstract, hypothetical and contrary-to-fact ideas
2. Formulation ans testing of multiple hypotheses
3.Separation and control of variables
4. Proportional reasoning


Concrete operations Stage (6-7 or until 11or 12)

1. Differentiation of one's own perspective from the perspective of others
2. Class inclusion
3. conservation
4. reversibility.


Preoperational Stage ( 2 or until 6 or 7)

1. Egocentric Perspective
2. Lack of class inclusion
3. Lack of conservation
4. Irreversibility.


So What?
I think that this theory helps us understand where some kids may be at in learning. It gives us a little heads up on where are students are and what they can learn at the age they are. Though some of the ages might me off it still lets us see where a child should be at learning wise. It also helps us to encourage our students to progress to the next levels of learning.

Now What?
I feel like now I can pick the age groups I want to teach and go into more depth on where those students should be or where it would be good for them to be learning wise and then act on it. Help the students I have achieve more and help them climb up and learn how to better understand and learn things
