Applications of Piaget in Education Flashcards

1️⃣ Familiarise yourself with the flashcards:

Look through all the flashcards to see what's on both sides.
Make sure you understand the information on each card. If something's unclear, click the link to the revision notes at the bottom of the page for more details.

2️⃣ Test yourself:

Look at the question or prompt on each card and try to remember the answer before flipping it over.
Check the answer and make a note of any cards you find challenging and need to go over more.

3️⃣ Consistently Review and Practice:

Use spaced repetition: spend more time on the cards you struggle with and go over them more often.
Regularly review all the flashcards to help you better understand and retain the information over time.

Note: We may include questions that have multiple correct answers. It's useful to remember specific examples to understand these concepts better.

What does readiness to learn mean in Piaget's view?

A child learns a new idea only when they have reached the right stage.

Pupils learn by exploring, trying things out, and finding answers themselves.

Be a guide who sets tasks and asks questions, not just tells facts.

Many pupils think best with real objects before they can use symbols.

When pupils can think about ideas, not just objects, often from about 11 years.

Children move through stages at different rates, so work should fit their level.

It lets pupils hear other views and rethink their own ideas.

Start from current ideas, then set tasks that add to or change them.

They make pupils explain their thinking and work things out themselves.

Mistakes show current thinking and help plan the next step.

Provide spaces and materials for practical tasks, exploration, and group work.

Understanding grows from active thinking, not just memorising words.
