term | definition |
---|---|
Constructivist Approach | 1. children are active in their learning 2. construct their knowledge |
Piaget's Theoretical Basics | 1. All aspects of cognition 2. stages are invarient 3. stages are universal; with individual dif. in rate 4. maturation |
Schemas | 1. psychological structures 2. shift from motor based to mentally 3. mental representations; images and concepts |
Adaptation (3 componanats) | 1. dissimilation 2. accomodation 3. equilibrium |
organization | 1. rearranging of schemas 2. not influenced by environment |
sensorimotor | 1. birth- 2 years 2. achievements: motor behavior leading to first 3. schemas 4. body-centered to object-centered 5. circular reaction (accidental) |
sensorimotor substages | 1. object permanance 2. a not b error 3. trend: unintentional behavior to think before you act |
mental representations | 1. first of objects, then experiences 2. deferred imitation 3. make-believe play is possible |
Preoperational period | 2-7 yrs |
achievements of preoperational | 1. gains in mental representation 2. language 3. make believe play 4. drawing 5. dual representation (example: map or paper) |
limitations of preoperational | 1. can't perform mental operations 2. egocentrism 3. cannot conserve (centration, irreversability) 4. lack hierarchial classification |
conservation | although apperance has changed physical characteristics remain the same |
Concrete Operational Period | 7 - 11 years |
achievments of operational | 1. conservations (decentration and reversability) 2. heirarhcial classification 3. spatial reasoning 4.seriation-biggest to smallest 5.spatial reasoning |
limitations of operational | 1. operate only on concrete objects 2. horizontal dealcage |
formal operational | 11 plus years |
achievments of formal operational | 1. abstract thought a) hypothetico-deductive reasoning b)propostional thinking (abstract) |
consequences of abstract thinking | 1. self conciousness a)imaginary audience b)peronal fable 2. idealismo and criticism 3. problems with decision making |
