Piaget felt children learned best through?

Question

Piaget felt children learned best through?

Answer 1

The  four development stages are described in Piaget's theory as:

Sensorimotor stage: from birth to age 2 years (children experience the world through movement and senses and learn object permanence)

Preoperational stage: from ages 2 to 7 (acquisition of motor skills)

Concrete operational stage: from ages 7 to 11 (children begin to think logically about concrete events)

Formal operational stage: after age 11 (development of abstract reasoning).

Answer 2

Jean Piaget influenced generations of psychologists and educators through his research and theories on how children develop.  In the last few years "neo-piagetian" writers have focused on CONSTRUCTIVE EDUCATION.  (A child builds knowledge by interacting with the social and physical environment.)  This theory believes that knowledge isn't a comodity bestowed on the learner "ready made", but means the child mentally constructs from experiences.

So, I would say that Piaget felt children learn best through experiencing their physical and social environment themselves.

Hope that helps!  I did a long research paper on Piaget...but that's the quickest and easiest answer! :-D
