CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -While thinking becomes much more logical during the concrete operational state, it can also be very rigid. Kids at this point in development tend to struggle with abstract and hypothetical concepts. During this stage, children also become less egocentric and begin to think about how other people might think and feel.

Detailed explanation-2: -On the other hand, children at this age have difficulty using deductive logic, which involves using a general principle to determine the outcome of a specific event. For example, a child might learn that A=B, and B=C, but might still struggle to understand that A=C.

Detailed explanation-3: -Deductive Logic Piaget believed that deductive reasoning becomes necessary during the formal operational stage. Deductive logic requires the ability to use a general principle to determine a particular outcome. Science and mathematics often require this type of thinking about hypothetical situations and concepts.

Detailed explanation-4: -The concrete operational stage (7–11 years) Children also become able to apply logical, concrete rules to physical objects. However, they cannot yet do the same thing for abstract concepts.

Detailed explanation-5: -The concrete operational stage is the third stage in Piaget’s theory of Cognitive Development. In this stage, children gain the abilities of conservation of numbers, area, volume, and orientation. The child begins to think logically about objects and events.
