What can teachers learn from Piagetian theory? Include in your answer something about materials, scheduling, and the role of the teacher

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER:
From Piaget’s theory we learn that:
Materials: Children need many objects to explore, balanced between open-ended, guided, and self-correcting ones.
Scheduling: Children need lots of time to explore materials and engage in play, as well as some time for adult-given ideas and questions.
Teacher’s role:
The teacher should know ages and stages of typical development, understand the egocentric way of thinking, ask questions rather than always telling or giving answers, and provide opportunities for children to make decisions and exchange viewpoints.
