Question

In Ms. Allison’s Piagetian kindergarten classroom, teachers introduce activities that build on children’s current thinking, challenging their incorrect ways of viewing the work. But they do not try to speed up development by imposing new skills before children indicate that they are interested and ready. This kindergarten emphasizes the Piagetian principle of(A) sensitivity to children’s readiness to learn.(B) scaffolding.(C) discovery learning.(D) acceptance of individual differences.

Answer 1

Answer:

A) sensitivity to children’s readiness to learn.

Explanation:

Ms. Allison’s Piagetian kindergarten emphasizes the Piagetian principle of sensitivity to children’s readiness to learn. Piaget's theory of cognitive development considers cognitive development as a process. The child eventually constructs a model of the world when he is mature for doing it. Every child goes through four stages: the sensorimotor stage, the preoperational stage, the concrete operational stage, and the formal operational stage. Each stage differs qualitatively from the other. There is no use in imposing new skills on a child because he or she won't learn if they are not ready.
