looking for a learning activity for preschoolers idenifying the stages of piaget's theory of development?

Answer 1

Preschoolers won't be in any stage but concrete, as children don't generally move from concrete to abstract until about age 8.

However, some simple activities that can be done to test this are:
Fill 2 identical cups with an identical amount of liquid. Transfer the liquid from one cup into a different shaped cup (preferably one that is much taller and thinner) and ask which has more. An abstract child will be able to tell you they're still the same a concrete child will likely pick the tall, thin one as being more.

Place 2 sets of 5 coins, buttons etc. each down in front of the child. Clump group one together and spread the other one out. Ask which group has more coins. A concrete child will tell you the ones spread out are more an abstract child will be able to tell you that they're still the same.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

His theory states that at such a young age, children are not social. They do not know social play or how to interract with each other. Theyc an be in a group, but they will play by themselves. Structure a play activity such as family, or even blocks,. If you structure a fasmily setting in which you assign each child a role, such as mom, dad, etc. you will see that Piaget also states that they will display the role modeling of each gender they have learned, so the will act out what mom does, dad does, etc. however they will not interract with heac other. you can then provide tehm with structured conerstation and phsycial actions,that force them to interract with each other, and documnet the pre and psot data to giving instructions on how to interrracgt. Then you data will either support or negate his theory.

Answer 3

See if you can find copy of this book in library. THE CHILD'S CONSTRUCTION OF KNOWLEDGE, by George E Forman David S Kuschner Published by NAEYC 1983 4th printing 1993 It directly relates activities to Piaget theory.
