Module 1 Activity 8: Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development


The reading of Piaget's theory of cognitive development has rekindled in me the significance of understanding the development of children's thinking during the different stages of development. It is critical for educators to be aware of how a child functions and his capabilities at the various stages of development as this provides a base to plan the instructional, learning and assessment processes of the individual. I am in agreement that learners don’t all learn at the same rate or the same pace and all learning and teaching, therefore, needs to be flexible and learner-centred.
