Jean Piaget’s

Cognitive
Learning Theory
By: Archjune Aubrey S. Abella
Gwyneth Mae T. Labaro
Learning Objectives:
● Understand cognitive development, including the
concepts of schema, assimilation, accommodation, and
equilibrium.
● Identify Cognitive Developmental Stages and
characteristics
● Analyze the implications of Piaget's theory for teaching
and learning, including the importance of providing
developmentally appropriate activities and experiences.

 What is
Cognitive
Development?

3
 Cognitive Development

● is the emergence of the ability to think and understand.

● the process by which people's thinking changes across
the lifespan.
● Piaget studied Cognitive Development by observing
children in particular, to examine how their thought
processes changed with age.

Stages of
Development

6
 Schema
● refer to the cognitive structures by which
individuals intellectually adapt to and
organized their environment’
● It is an individual's way to understand or create
meaning about a thing or experience
● The assumption is that we store these mental
representations and apply them when needed.

7
 Assimalation
● This is the process of fitting a new
experience into an existing schema.
● Here, the learner fits the new idea into
what he already knows.
● In Assimilation, the schema is not
changed, it is only modified.

12
 Accommodation
● This is the process of creating a new
schema.
● It happens when the existing schema
(does not work and needs to be changed
to deal with a new object or situation.
● In Accommodation, the schema is
altered; a new schema may be
developed.

15
 Equilibrium

● is achieving proper balance between

assimilation and accommodation
● Equilibrium occurs when a child's
schemas can deal with most new
information through assimilation.

 Sensorimotor Stage (Birth - 2 yrs)

● Infants construct an understanding of the world

by coordinating sensory experiences
● Develop Object Permanence
● Infants progress from reflexive, instinctual
actions at birth to the beginning of problem
solving and symbolic abilities toward the end of
this stage.

21
 Preoperational Stage (2-7 yrs)

● Toddler and Early Childhood

● This stage begins when the child starts to use
symbols and language.
● So, the child is capable of more complex mental
representations (i.e, words and images).
● He is still unable to use 'operations', i.e,logical
mental rules, such as rules of arithmetic.
 Concrete Operational Stage (7-12 yrs)

● Childhood and Early Adolescence

● The concrete operational stage is characterized
by the appropriate use of logic.
Important processes during this stage are:
1. Seriation
2. Transitivity
3. Classification
4. Decentering
5. Reversibility
6. Conservation
 Formal Operational Stage (12 yrs & above)

● Adolescence and Adulthood

● The thought becomes increasingly flexible and
abstract.
● The ability to systematically solve a problem in a
logical and methodological way.
● The child's way of thinking is at its most
advanced, although the knowledge it has to work
with, will change.

 Teaching
Implications

02 of Piagets
Learning
Theory

29
 1. To provide Educational Experience
○ Based on the developmental level of children, the
curriculum should provide the required
educational experience
2. Encourage Self Learning Environment
○ Classroom activities that encourage and assist
self-learning must be incorporated.
3. Incorporate Practice Learning
○ Practical learning situations must be included in
the class.
30
 4.Inclination of Co-curricular Activities
○ Co-curricular activities that enhance children's
cognitive development must be given equal
importance as curricular activities
5.Inclusion of the Project Teaching
○ The teaching method must be simple to complex
and the inclusion of the project teaching method
is recommended

31
 6.Development of Mature Thinking
○ Children learn and think differently from adults
therefore, they should taught accordingly
7.Encourage discovery Approach
○ The discovery Approach to learning must be
emphasized

 1. Piaget's theory helped educators, parents and
investigators to comprehend the capacity of children in
their different stages.
2. He made us conscious with the way children and adults
think.
3. A lot of school programs have been redesigned taking as
base Piaget's discoveries.
4. Piaget made a revolution with the developmental
psychology concentrating all his attention to the mental
process and his role with behavior.
