Conclusion: -
In conclusion, Piaget emphasized universal cognitive change. Piaget's theory emphasized
the natural line. the results of Piaget's work changed the way that teachers, parents and all
those who work with and around children observe the children's behavior and response to
their environment. Piaget's work specifically had an impact on the teaching of education in
schools. His theory of intellectual or cognitive development, published in 1936, is still used
today in some branches of education and psychology. It focuses on children, from birth
through adolescence, and characterizes different stages of development, including language,
morals. While Kohlberg’s theory concludes that at stage 1 child think of what is right as that
which authority says is right. Doing the right thing is obeying authority and avoiding
punishment. At stage 2, children are no longer so impressed by any single authority. At stages
3 and 4, young people think as members of the conventional society with its values, norms,
and expectations. At stage 3, they emphasize being a good person, which basically means
having helpful motives toward people close to one. At stage 4, the concern shifts toward
obeying laws to maintain society. At stages 5 and 6 people are less concerned with
maintaining society for its own sake, and more concerned with the principles and values that
make for a good society. At stage 5 they emphasize basic rights and the democratic
processes that give everyone a say, and at stage 6 they define the principles by which
agreement will be most just.
