1, cognitive development theory: Piaget believes that children's cognitive development is a phased process, which is divided into four stages: perceptual movement period, pre-operation period, specific operation period and formal operation period. Each stage has its specific cognitive characteristics and development tasks.

2. Balance process: Piaget emphasized that children achieve cognitive balance through constant trial and adjustment in cognitive development. When children encounter new information or problems, they will try to solve them with the existing cognitive structure, and if they succeed, they will consolidate this cognitive structure; If it fails, it will adjust its cognitive structure until it reaches a balance.

3. Importance of social communication: Piaget believes that children's social communication plays an important role in their cognitive development. Through interaction with others, children can learn new knowledge, skills and behavior norms, thus promoting cognitive development.

4. Individual differences: Piaget emphasized that each child's cognitive development speed and path are unique. Therefore, educators and parents should respect children's personality differences and teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

5. Autonomy: Piaget believes that children have autonomy in cognitive development. They can not only actively explore and solve problems, but also reflect and evaluate their own cognitive process.

Knowledge about Piaget

1, Piaget (jean piaget,1August 9, 896-65438+September16,0980) is a Swiss psychologist and philosopher, and is known as the father of child psychology. He was born in Nachaat. His father is a professor and his mother is a music teacher.

Piaget was educated in Paris, and later became a professor at the University of Nachate, and founded the Geneva Cognitive Development Association. His research focuses on the development of children's cognition and thinking, especially how children learn through experience and interaction.

3. Piaget put forward many important theories and methods, including cognitive development stage theory, genetic epistemology and clinical methods. His theory has a far-reaching impact on children's psychology, pedagogy and other disciplines.

4. Piaget believes that children's cognitive development has gone through perceptual motor stage (0-2 years old), pre-operation stage (2-7 years old), concrete operation stage (7- 1 1 year old) and formal operation stage (1/after the age of 0/year old). Each stage has specific characteristics and development tasks, and children need to complete the tasks of each stage before entering the next stage.

5. Another important theory of Piaget is genetic epistemology, who believes that the essence of cognitive development is the process of adaptation and organization, which is realized through interaction with the environment. He also put forward the clinical method, which is a method to observe and explain children's behavior, and is used to understand children's thinking and cognitive ability.
