PIAGET COGNITIVE STAGES OF DEVELOPMENT

SENSORY MOTOR

CHARACTERISTICS:

The child relies on seeing, touching, sucking, feeling, and using their senses to learn things about
themselves and the environment. Piaget calls this the sensorimotor stage because the early
manifestations of intelligence appear from sensory perception sand motor activities

KEY TEACHING STRATEGIES:

Talk to your child frequently. Speaking to your child, even before they can answer, helps them
develop language abilities and increase their vocabulary. ...

Provide environmental stimulation. ...

Provide supervision.

PRE OPERATIONAL STAGE

CHARACTERISTICS:

Egocentrism. You've probably noticed that your child thinks of one thing: themselves. ...

Centration. This is the tendency to focus on only one aspect of a situation at a time. ...
Conservation. ...

Parallel play. ...

Symbolic representation. ...

Let's pretend. ...

Artificialism. ...

Irreversibility.

CONCRETE OPERATIONAL STAGES

CHARACTERISTICS:

The concrete-operational stage depicts an important step in the cognitive development of children
(Piaget, 1947). According to Piaget, thinking in this stage is characterized by logical operations, such as
conservation, reversibility or classification, allowing logical reasoning

KEY TEACHING STRATEGIES

According to Piaget, children in the concrete operational stage begin to make logical connections
between concepts. In the later years of the concrete operational stage, they will begin to think in
abstract terms, using logic. Students can explore their abilities with challenging logic problems and
brainteasers.

FORMAL OPERATIONAL STAGES

CHARACTERISTICS:
The formal operational stage is characterized by the ability to formulate hypotheses and
systematically test them to arrive at an answer to a problem. The individual in the formal stage is also
able to think abstractly and to understand the form or structure of a mathematical problem
