Piaget's Preoperational Stage
[ send me this essay ]
3 pages in length. Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget's second of four developmental stages - preoperational - incorporates three primary growth indicators that include mental representation, language and symbol usage. Major limitations of this stage reflect that of ridged thinking, egocentrism and principle of conservation, a notion of how "quantity is unrelated to the arrangement and physical appearance of objects" (Feldman, 2006). The extent to which Piaget's second stage serves to lay the groundwork for speech, increased mental clarity and incorporation of symbolic gestures is both grand and far-reaching; that the corresponding limitations are soon rectified in the third stage speaks to the manner by which a child's progression is a palpable conduit from one stage to the next. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Piaget, Bandura & Erikson: Adolescent Psychology
[ send me this essay ]
10 pages in length. Adolescence is a period of struggle through the painful steps of self-discovery. Hormonal changes, social mores and parental discord all spell a very challenging time for teenagers on the path toward learning about life and themselves. Theorists like Piaget, Bandura and Erikson have contributed significant understanding about how this development phase is fraught with trial-and-error learning as youth become adamant about the freedom to conduct their lives as they see fit. Of course, such quest for independence coupled with vulnerability, immaturity and naïveté does not always make for the most responsible choices, all of which serves as the real life learning curve virtually all adolescents experience on their way to adulthood. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Piaget/Preschoolers' Capacity for Reading and Math
[ send me this essay ]
A 10 page research paper that includes a 136 word abstract that discusses Jean Piaget, the Swiss child psychologist, who is one of the most influential theorist of the twentieth century. This summary and investigation of his work, with a particular focus on his text, The Origins of Intelligence in Children, first of all, offers a broad overview of Piagetian theory and its constructive nature. This writer begins by considering the current trend to introduce academics, i.e., reading and math, to preschoolers and then sets this trend against the context of Piagetian theory in order to evaluate its efficacy. The conclusion that this leads to is that direct early academic instruction will not be successful and could very well be detrimental to the child. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
