CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Preoperational Stage During this stage (toddler through age 7), young children are able to think about things symbolically. Their language use becomes more mature. They also develop memory and imagination, which allows them to understand the difference between past and future, and engage in make-believe.

Detailed explanation-2: -Through trial and error, children discover more about the world around them. Piaget chose to call this stage the ‘sensorimotor’ stage because it is through the senses and motor abilities that infants gain a basic understanding of the world around them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Piaget divided children’s cognitive development in four stages, each of the stages represent a new way of thinking and understanding the world. He called them (1) sensorimotor intelligence, (2) preoperational thinking, (3) concrete operational thinking, and (4) formal operational thinking.

Detailed explanation-4: -Substage 4: Coordination of Secondary Circular Reactions. The infant combines these basic reflexes and uses planning and coordination to achieve a specific goal.
