Analysis Paper 1

When I was 11, my parents were battling in an ugly divorce. I wasn't seen as a kid because for a brief moment I became an adult that could make tough life changing decisions. As a child , I was confused on what was happening. I didn’t understand why my mom was gone one day, returned the next and then  just gone. I couldn't comprehend why police officers would regularly come to my broken home. The gruesome divorce and after period was an emotional roller coaster that never ended until today. It was difficult to adapt to the new lifestyle with a new single mom. I vividly remember having to sleep on the floor for months , having an empty naked white fridge and having to support my single mother every night as she dealt with depression. Although, life was hard I stayed strong, supported my sisters and accepted the new life I  was given.

Psychologist Jean Piaget developed the Piaget’s theory around the late 1920’s and early 1930’s. Piaget’s theory implies that cognitive growth advances in different stages, influenced by an instinctive need to know basis. The four stages of Piaget’s theory are, sensorimotor (birth to about two years old), preoperational (average two to seven years old), concrete operational (seven to eleven years old), and formal operational stage (eleven to undetermined years old).

Piaget’s theory was introduced by Jean Piaget who established four periods of cognitive development. The four stages are; Sensorimotor, Preoperational, Concrete Operational, and Formal operational. The sensorimotor is the first stage and begins when the child is born and proceeds until the age of two years. The second stage is the preoperational stage and begins with the child is two years old and continues until the child reaches six years of age. The concrete stage is the third stage and begins when the child is six years old and proceeds until the age of 11 years old. The formal operational stage is the fourth stage and

Assignment topic as stated in Course Outline: Essay - Jean Piaget proposed a step-wise sequence of mental development during childhood. Provide an overview of Piaget’s core ideas, discussing the evidence for and against these ideas.

Small groups are the proper environment to develop and grow disciples of Jesus. The purpose of a small group is to develop sacrificial, relational, transformed people who can continue the cycle of disciple development. Small groups must be intentional, individual and missional. There are five primary passages that can be used to form a small group ministry philosophy. Each of these passages have accompanying principles that we can apply to our small group ministries.

Piaget’s developmental stages are ways of normal intellectual development. There are four different stages. The stages start at infant age and work all the way up to adulthood. The stages include things like judgment, thought, and knowledge of infants, children, teens, and adults. These four stages were names after Jean Piaget a developmental biologist and psychologist. Piaget recorded intellectual abilities and developments of infants, children, and teens. The four different stages of Piaget’s developmental stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. Sensorimotor is from birth up to twenty- four months of age. Preoperational which is toddlerhood includes from eighteen months old all the

Jean Piaget’s 4 stages of Cognitive Development and Erik Erikson’s 8 stages of Psychosocial Development

I was able to be myself and I felt free. With a few bucks in my pockets, I felt I could buy the clothes I wanted and those skinny jeans I saw at urban outfitters. I came home one day galvanized only to find ambulances outside my aunt's house and my mom on the stretcher bed. My mom has been ill and had an infection that ate her leg. Days I would come home and it smelled like rotting flesh it was her. I spent months with her after her amputation. One of the kids who 've met, she and her mother allowed me to stay at their home, but I was no longer a teen and her daughter who liked me was underage, but they were in need as I was, they had little money and 4 mouths to feed and had just found an advantageous paying job so I figured I help them for helping me. 4 mouths turned into five and I quickly realized I was being played not by the daughter, but by the mother and quickly left them alone and used wisdom, for I cannot help others until I help myself and they were too broken. I saved my money and got an apartment on my own. I take care of my mother who is now disabled and I am taking on the challenges of adulthood. I ride a 2-hour bus to work and back every day. I get up 4 o'clock in the morning and don't make it home until 8pm at night. I feel accomplished an 18-year-old with his own apartment, taking care of his mother, and I might not have a car...yet but it's so close I can taste

At the centre of Piaget's theory is the principle that cognitive development occurs in a series of four distinct, universal stages, each characterized by increasingly sophisticated and

At the age of thirteen, my life was in a huge rough patch, to say the least. My parents were divorcing, which alone is a lot, but there was more on top of it as my family was in huge debt, my mother wasn't working so she could take care of my brother with special needs, and our house ended up in foreclosure. We were financially in dire straights, I can recall a night while during a heavy downpour my mother attempted to sell old clothes at a consignment store so we could at least have some money for groceries, we only could muster up twenty dollars for that whole week. As my parents split up, and we moved in with my grandmother, I began to learn to not take things for granted, and while I did lots of volunteering and such in the past to feed

Though studies of children are most prevalent in this branch, adult psychology promotes knowledge of biology, social interactions, and mental processes that influence us as we age. Erik Erikson began an integral study in the 1940’s that was edited and updated over the next fifty years (Adult Development, 2015). Erikson’s theory asserts that growth and development will not be achieved unless eight stages of social influence are surpassed through adolescence and adulthood (Adult Development, 2015). On the opposite side of the spectrum, Jean Piaget is associated with internal affairs that are mental versus psychosocial. According to Piaget, daily activities and responsibilities may not be completed or processed the way they were intended until an individual has reached a certain point of maturity. Although actions and verbalization may imply intelligence, intelligence does not define the maturation required to be a functioning adult. Piaget suggests our thoughts and development are shaped by our incorporation into social settings (school, home, and the community) and the environment in which those interactions occur (Adult Development,

I did things unintentionally that they didn’t think I would do, that happens even today just not as much. I’ve had five homes so far in my life which made me not very attached to one place, I feel good anywhere I can call home, specially if it’s mine. The way I was raised made me very fond of home, not because it’s home or the memories, but, because I feel I can be in peace there and that’s something I need sometimes to be by myself and reflect on the current events of my life. As I grew up things changed by the time I got to middle school things I became more social, It’s unclear to me why that happen since there was a lot of things that could’ve make me want to be more open to people.Our economic situation improved during that time too and I was being more exposed to the world, it was confusing at first because there was things I didn’t understand like violence, economic struggles, how the world works, things of that nature. It was overwhelming sometimes but with time i started to get it. I would say I’m lucky that I had good people around me, in the environment that I was raised I had good examples that I could look up to I think that’s one of the reasons why, I still try to do good at school, I see my dad, my uncles, my cousins, grandparents, some of my friends and I want them to see me the way I see

Jean Piaget is one of the pioneers to child development, he was an important factor in the growth, development and one of the most exciting research theorists in child development. A major force in child psychology, he studied both thought processes and how they change with age. He believed that children think in fundamentally different ways from adults.. Piaget’s belief is that all species inherit the basic tendency to organize their lives and adapt to the world that’s around them, no matter the age. Children develop schemas as a general way of thinking or interacting with ideas and objects in the environment. Children create and develop new schemas as they grow and experience new things. Piaget has identified four major stages of cognitive development which are: sensorimotor stage, preoperational stage, concrete operations, and formal operations. According to the text here are brief descriptions of each of Piaget’s stages:

Several years ago, an insightful and profound man, Jean Piaget, established a theory of cognitive growth during childhood. This theory was viewed as a major model for understanding the intricate steps of mental development from the thinking to understanding for a child. This theory also gave rise to the mentality that cognitive processes during childhood are not minuscule versions of adults but rather an irrational yet unique process with its own rules. Even though Piaget’s theory seems quite reasonable and logical, under the light of recent speculation his theory has been widely challenged. However, Piaget’s theory holds great impact in today’s psychology.

For this paper I will be exploring Piaget's theory of cognitive development. Swiss Psychologist Jean Piaget, theorized that children progress through four key stages of cognitive development that change their understanding of the world. By observing his own children, Piaget came up with four different stages of intellectual development that included: the sensorimotor stage, which starts from birth to age two; the preoperational stage, starts from age two to about age seven; the concrete operational stage, starts from age seven to eleven; and final stage, the formal operational stage, which begins in adolescence and continues into adulthood. In this paper I will only be focusing on the
