CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mental action or process of acquiring knowledge and understanding via thought, experience, and the senses. Janie knows that a bird has wings and can fly. While camping she finds a bat and thinks it’s a bird, but realizes that it doesn’t act the same way as a bird. She is confused.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Concrete Operational Stage. The next phase is the concrete operational stage, which begins around the age of seven. During this stage, children are more capable of solving problems because they can consider numerous outcomes and perspectives. All of their cognitive abilities are better developed in this stage.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, by playing continuously with a toy animal, an infant begins to understand what the object is and recall their experiences associated with that toy. Piaget labeled this understanding as object permanence, which indicates the knowledge of the toy even if it is out of sight.

Detailed explanation-4: -Piaget’s classic experiment on egocentrism involved showing children a 3-dimensional model of a mountain and asking them to describe what a doll that is looking at the mountain from a different angle might see. Children tend to choose a picture that represents their own view, rather than that of the doll.

Detailed explanation-5: -Some examples a child is at the preoperational stage include: imitating the way someone talks or moves even when they are not in the room. drawing people and objects from their own life but understanding they are only representations. pretending a stick is a sword or that a broom is a horse during play.
