Early Childhood (Primary Schoolers)

-primary children are children at the age

bracket of 7 to 11 years old that undergoes
different cognitive development.
 "There is only one
moment in
childhood when the
doors opens and

Jean Piaget
1896-1980
a swiss psychologist known for his
pioneering work in child development and
cognitive psychology.
According to him, intelligence is the basic
mechanism of ensuring balance in the
relations between the person and the
environment.
CONCRETE OPERAIONAL
During this stage, children begin to develop logical
thinking skills and can perform operations on concrete
objects and events.
Began to think logically about things that are
happening in their lives, but still have difficulty on
understanding abstract or hypothetical concepts, and
problem solving skills are not yet developed.
 Concrete Operations
LOGIC
according to Piaget, primary schoolers can already use
inductive logic but experienced difficulty of using deductive
logic
Begin to understand the concept of conservation; that the
amount of liquid in a short, wide cup is equal to that in a
tall, skinny glass, for example. Thinking becomes more logical
and organized, but still very concrete.

REVERSIBILITY

The child learns that some things that have been changed
can be returned to their original state. Water can be
frozen and then thawed to become liquid again.
