COGNITIVE LANDSCAPE: IMPLICATIONS OF PIAGET'S THEORY OF DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development has had a profound impact on psychology, education, and child development. This abstract explores the practical implications of Piaget's theory across different domains, including education, parenting, and clinical practice. Piaget proposed that cognitive development occurs through a series of stages, each characterized by distinct ways of thinking and understanding the world. By understanding these stages and the processes through which children acquire knowledge, educators, parents, and clinicians can better support optimal growth and adaptation. This abstract highlights how Piaget's theory informs teaching practices, parenting strategies, and therapeutic interventions, ultimately promoting holistic development and enhancing learning outcomes for children.
