CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Sensorimotor stage (0–2 years old) Preoperational stage (2–7 years old) Concrete operational stage (7–11 years old) Formal operational stage (11 years old through adulthood)

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Piaget, children have four stages of development which he classified as Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal Operational. In each of these stages, children continually add new knowledge, build upon existing knowledge, and adapt previously held ideas to accept new information.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget proposed four stages to describe the development process of children: sensorimotor stage, pre-operational stage, concrete operational stage, and formal operational stage. Each stage describes a specific age group. In each stage, he described how children develop their cognitive skills.

Detailed explanation-4: -Piaget proposed four major stages of cognitive development, and called them (1) sensorimotor intelligence, (2) preoperational thinking, (3) concrete operational thinking, and (4) formal operational thinking. Each stage is correlated with an age period of childhood, but only approximately.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Theory of Cognitive Development by Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist, suggests that children’s intelligence undergoes changes as they grow. Cognitive development in children is not only related to acquiring knowledge, children need to build or develop a mental model of their surrounding world (Miller, 2011).
