READING COMPREHENSION
SELECTION I
Jean Piaget, the word famous Swiss Development psychologist and
epistemologist is the researcher who has done most for our understanding of childrens
thinking. His work and research suggests that the ability to think develops in several
noticeable stages. All children go through these stages in the same fixed order but not
everyone moves through the stage at the same time. Also, depending upon a childs
exposure and life experience, some children may think in one stage in certain situations
and think in a different stage for other things.
Elementary school teachers in multi-grade classroom work with children who are
in the broad overlapping stages. Intuitive though from 4 to 7 years old; concrete
operations, from about 7 to 12 years old; formal operation, from about 12 years on.
Intuitive thought describes how four to seven years old operate mentally, they
typically use their sense impressions or intuition earlier than logic in forming
judgements. They also find it hard to remember more than one thing at a time.
Concrete operational children, on the other hand can do much logical thinking.
Their handicap is that the ideas they consider must be tried to concrete materials they
can manipulate. Or, at the very least, they must have such first-hand experience with
the materials to think about them.
In the stage of formal operations, children are able to think much more
abstractly, there is far less need to refer to concrete objects. With experience similar to
adults, they can handle formal logic, that, is the use of the same mental operational as
adults.
