CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The concrete operational stage is the third stage in Piaget’s theory of cognitive development. This period lasts around seven to eleven years of age, and is characterized by the development of organized and rational thinking.

Detailed explanation-2: -From ages 7 to 11, children are in what Piaget referred to as the concrete operational stage of cognitive development (Crain, 2005). This involves mastering the use of logic in concrete ways. The word concrete refers to that which is tangible; that which can be seen, touched, or experienced directly.

Detailed explanation-3: -The concrete operational stage usually starts when your child hits 7 years old and lasts till they reach 11. Think of it as a transitional stage between the two earlier stages of development (sensorimotor and preoperational stages) and the fourth stage (formal operational stage).

Detailed explanation-4: -The formal operational stage begins at approximately age twelve and lasts into adulthood. As adolescents enter this stage, they gain the ability to think in an abstract manner by manipulating ideas in their head, without any dependence on concrete manipulation (Inhelder & Piaget, 1958).

Detailed explanation-5: -Another key development at this stage is the understanding that when something changes in shape or appearance it is still the same, a concept known as conservation. 3. Kids at this stage understand that if you break a candy bar up into smaller pieces it is still the same amount as when the candy was whole.
