in their curriculum because it is
vital in handling academic and
emotional problems among

Freud’s theory will help teachers
to understand the importance of
deep-seated feelings and drives
that motivate student behaviour.
B. Jean Piaget’s
Stages of Cognitive Development
Piaget's theory assumes that all children
go through the same developmental
sequence but that they do so at different
rates. Therefore, teachers must make a
special effort to arrange classroom
activities for individuals and small groups
of children rather than for the total class
group
In the classroom, teachers can apply
Piaget's notions of assimilation and
accommodation when introducing new
material. Teachers can thus put their
lessons and student interactions in this
context. Later in the stage, educators can
integrate more abstract thinking, non-
egocentric concepts, and advanced
language skills
An important implication of Piaget's
theory is adaptation of instruction to the
learner's developmental level. The content concrete operational stage, which Piaget
of instruction needs to be consistent with
the developmental level of the learner.
The teacher's role is to facilitate learning The last stage is the formal operational
by providing a variety of experiences.
"Discovery learning" provides
opportunities for learners to explore and
experiment, thereby encouraging new
understandings. Opportunities that allow
students of differing cognitive levels to
work together often encourage less mature given me language to describe and
students to advance to a more mature
Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive
development suggests that children move
through four different stages of mental
development. His theory focuses not only
on understanding how children acquire
knowledge, but also on understanding the
nature of intelligence.
I’ve learned about in this class is Piaget’s
Four Stages of Cognitive Development.
Piaget asserted that from around birth to
age two, children are in the sensorimotor
stage, in which they lack object
permanence and goal-directed action,
relying on reflexes to survive. The
Preoperational stage spans from about age
two to six, and comes with a new set of
developments. During this time, children
develop semiotic (symbolic) function,
have an egocentric understanding of the
world, and lack conservation. In the
estimated to last from about age seven to
12, children gain that skill of
conservation, and become less egocentric.
stage, in which adolescents, about 11-13,
develop hypothetico-deductive reasoning,
and become capable of abstract thought.

thinking as a teacher about what to expect

instruction is the use of concrete "hands
on" experiences to help children learn.
Additional suggestions include:
1. Provide concrete props and visual
aids, such as models and/or time
line
2. Use familiar examples to facilitate
learning more complex ideas, such
as story problems in math.
3. Allow opportunities to classify and
group information with increasing
complexity; use outlines and
hierarchies to facilitate
assimilating new information with
previous knowledge.
4. Present problems that require
logical analytic thinking; the use
of tools such as "brain teasers" is
encouraged.

2. The learners consider what is best

however, they also begin to see the
need for mutual benefit.
3. Allowing students in this stage to
have a hand in creating the code of
conduct by discussing how
different behaviors affect other
students, students will be more
willing to follow the rules.
4. Students at different stages of
development have the opportunity
to work together and to learn how
their behaviors affects others in a

confidence in their ability.
As an educator giving clear, concrete and
concise classroom rules to students has a
vital role in developing the child’s moral
development. Through this, the child’s
behaviour will be properly reinforced.
Giving these insights the learners can
weigh the difference between good and
bad. Students should also be engage to
activities that will help them develop
skills necessary in building a good

to sacrifice for the common good. Along
with it the children will be developing the
sense of sensitiveness towards other
people’s emotion and behaviour.
As a teacher I realized how important my
role is in the child’s cognitive
development. I served as a one of their
MKOs which means my contribution has
a big impact in child’s learning. With that,
I should help them to the best of my
capability and provide them as much

4. Teachers should not spoon feed
the learning to the child. Instead,
they should guide the child in
learning how to learn.

I learned new things about human
development from Bronfenbrenner’s
bioecological model. Every single thing in
a child’s life either directly or indirectly
influences their human development. It is
important as a teacher to be aware of this
because there is more going on in a
child’s life outside of your classroom that
could be affecting the child’s development
that is out of your control. You could be
doing the best that you can to give the
child the right tools to succeed in your

system of four that affects the child’s
development. It is important to keep this
in mind when developing a relationship
with your students. Building a positive
relationship with your students could
influence other relationships they have. If
a student acts out in your class, it is more
than likely that something is going on in
the home. If you build a positive
environment in your classroom for the
student, he could bring that positive
energy home and change that environment
for the better.
