1 Applying Theory to Education Nautica Peden Southern New Hampshire University PSY 632 Developmental Psychology Dr. Sal October 9, 2023

2 Piaget’s Theory When engaging in certain activities throughout education and everyday life, a child’s learning and development can be improved. “Piaget (1952) viewed infants and children as active explorers who learn by interacting with the world, building their own understanding of everyday phenomena, and applying their understanding to adapt to the world around them” (Kuther 2023). This can be done through schemes. Schemes are known as ideas or ways to interact with the world, and they often change as children are in their different developmental stages. For infants, there are motor schemes that transform into cognitive schemes. For older children, they are working on a cognitive scheme that involves their knowledge, strategies, and ways to solve problems. Activity and Theoretical Concept A classroom activity that can relate to Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory can be a hands-on activity involving measuring. Students can experiment with the objects to make observations on how they may work. “ For example, a student uses a glass liquid measuring cup to measure one cup of water, then pours the cup into two half-cup measures; at this stage, students will begin to make the connection that the same amount of water can be measured in two different ways” (Mooney, 2020). This can be helpful if a student is interested in cooking or baking. Another activity could be children working in a store. Children can learn how a store operated in the real world in terms of inventory, ordering supplies, and taking care of the funds. The supplies would consist of daily items used every day in school. This targets the child’s concrete operational stage of development. Concrete operational stage of development happens during the ages of six to ten. In the concrete-operational stage, children are able to use operations and reversible mental actions to solve problems.

3 Impact on Cognitive Development These activities have an impact on cognitive development because during these ages’ children are curious. They want to know how to do stuff, when it should be done, and most of all they enjoy being helpful and feeling like they contributed to whatever activity that is being engaged, while also having a sense of independence. Since these types of activities happen in the concrete operational stage, children are able to learn how to think logically and put their knowledge to the test. “They are able to reason about physical quantities and evident in their skills in classification and conservation.” (Kuther, 2023).
