CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The sensorimotor stage is the first of the four stages of Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. It is marked by a child’s knowledge that the outside world exists separately from themselves. Once the child has fully realized this, they will move on to the next stage within Piaget’s stages of development.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of events that occur during the sensorimotor stage include the reflexes of rooting and sucking in infancy, learning to sick and wiggle fingers, repeating simple actions like shaking a rattle, taking interest in objects in the environment, and learning that objects they cannot see continue to exist.

Detailed explanation-3: -The main development during the sensorimotor stage is the understanding that objects exist and events occur in the world independently of one’s own actions (’the object concept’, or ‘object permanence’).

Detailed explanation-4: -Early representational thought is the final part of the sensorimotor stage of development. Children in this stage will begin to make links between symbols and objects and will start to make their own representations of objects. For example, they will use their fingers as a phone.
