LET’S DO THIS
ESSAY

1.   As a future teacher in elementary or secondary school, how will you

apply your knowledge of the process of equilibration and Piaget’s stages of
development in your classroom? How does this knowledge influence your selection
of what to teach and how to teach it?
 Piaget's theory of cognitive development provides a framework for understanding how
cognition or thinking develops. He talks about getting information through assimilation
and modifying our existing world knowledge through accommodation. This is important
because it shows the importance of exposing children to new information so that they
can absorb new information. Challenging children's beliefs about the world is
important to help children create accurate models of how it works. Additionally,
knowing the specific stages of the development helps parents and teachers create an
the most supportive environment for children. Parents and teachers provide children
with many opportunities to interact with different types of textures, create objects, play
music, introduce different scents, and taste different foods. His theory has influenced
the concepts of individual and student-centric learning, formative assessment, active
learning, discovery learning, and peer interaction.

2.   Why does a teacher prefer the use of more concrete instructional

methods in teaching to encourage students to think more formally?
 Teacher prefer the use of more concrete instructional methods in teaching because
makes the learning experience more enjoyable and practical, and can also encourage
students to play a more active role in education. The purpose of using teaching
strategies that go beyond understanding the subject is to develop students who are
independent strategic learners.

3.   “Playing house” is part of kids' childhood experiences. How

beneficial is it in cognitive development?
 When children play and socialize at home, it greatly helps them develop their
thinking and reasoning skills. Also, playing with children is always about solving
problems, creating, experimenting, thinking, and learning. Time to play with your
child is especially helpful for your child's cognitive development. That's because
playing together builds your relationship and sends you a simple yet powerful
message.
