Now can anyone describe and evaluate Piagets' theory of cognitive development?

I've got a big ong essay to do along with 2 other essays for english!

It usually tells you whatever you need here.

ooooo i did that in health and social care 2 years ago

What did you think of him steph? He had some pretty outlandish ideas but so good at the same time!

From what i remember Piaget argued that childrens cognitive development goes through four stages.

Go to the library and take out this book.

Wadsworth, B.J. (1989). Piagets theory of cognitive and affective development (4th ed.). New York: Longman.

this shows the stages

what did i think of it ermmm....well that wud be a good question if i cud rememeber what it was about lol....

nope realy it was 4 stages he had i think and in order to develop properly you had to pass through all of these stages right?? or am i completely wrong?? lmao

this was 2 years ago when i did it

I aint got a cluegulls wot dat means

NO!

Absolutely no way

Some systems of primary and secondary school education are based on Piaget's theory, but theories of cognitive development in the main deemphasize the role of culture in cognitive development.

That is very true ^^, Piaget didn't take into account the social influence towards a childs development, on the other hand of the scale there was a russian psychologist (forget his name) who believed it was all social influence that aided a childs cognitive development, we now know it's both biological and social! It was for stages i won't go into them as you will be very board unless you really like this kind of stuff!

1984, are you studying psychology?

No, m in my third year of an Anthropology degree, we don't study the mind and how it works we look at societies and cultures and how they affect social behaviour, but i have read Piaget when i did a GCSE in Psychology. I agree with you that most scientists now understand that nature and nurture play a part.

Man im like...........c.......o......n......f.....u....s....e.....d guess i neva heard that word b4 in my life!

Apart frm now of course

It's actually quite simple when you get into it, just like anything rudder's, if you ain't learnt it, you won't know nowt about it! However it is extremley interesting!

Good stuff 1984, what do you want to do after your degree?

Intresting, the last thing i found interesting was like, 18 years ago!

Im planning to work for my local authority, there are a lot of projects running in this area for teenage parents and families that are affected by drug abuse, so hopefully some insane person will give me a job!

thats a good job 1984. helping the mental

We generally try not to refer to unfortunate people as mental rudders!
This country has a real problem with society and drug use and i think 1984's job will be very tough, but hopefully very fulfilling!

Its a good job to full-take

Hello, thought i'd use this thread rather making a new one.
