ECE 332 Week 5 Final Paper
A Classroom Plan
Piaget hypothesized that infants use the schemes called "reflexes" to adapt to the environment. Piaget described two progressions that a person uses to adjust to the environment which are assimilation and accommodation. When these two progressions obtain balance it is called equilibration. Piaget identified four stages of cognitive development
Sensorimotor stage (Birth-2) Knowledge of the world is limited and children do not acquire object permanence until around seven months of age. Physical development allows child to start to develop intellectual abilities. At the end of this stage some language begins to develop.
Pre-operational stage (2-7) during this stage, language use matures, memory and imagination are developed; however, thinking is non-logical and nonreversible.
Concrete operational stage (7-12) Intelligence becomes more logical and is demonstrated through systematic manipulation of symbols related to concrete objects. Operational thinking develops during this stage.
Formal operational stage (11-12) in this last stage, intelligence is demonstrated through the logical use of symbols related to abstract concepts.

For children to develop consistent with Piaget's plan of development they must be given the chance to use various methods and sources that encourage that growth and development.
