Piaget: Observing Childrens Thinking Skills

Name: Hessa Ahmed Ali


Date: ..
Piaget designed many tasks to test childrens logical thinking. http://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRF27F2bn-A
For this activity, do each of the following:
1. Select three of Piagets Tasks for Logical thinking (from the handout or from the video we watched).
2. Collect the materials you will need, write the procedure and the
English you will need on the attached forms Preparing for Piagets
Experiments
(one for each experiment=3 forms). Practice giving the tests FIRST.
3. Select two children:
One should be in the pre-operational stage (ages2-7). It is
best if you choose one in the middle about four years old.
The other should be in the concrete operational stage (age 7
-11)
Be sure to get permission from the childs parent before doing
the task!
4. Set up the video and perform the tasks. Use the video later to fill in
your reports. You will fill in 3 reports for each child (attached). 6
reports total!
5. Think about how you will also get some pictures. Maybe you can ask
a member of your family to take a couple of still photos.

Keep in mind: Remember this is a scientific experiment! You must be


scientific and do the experiments properly. If you do not, your results
may not be accurate.
Be sure not to tell the child, You are right! or You are wrong!,
because there is no right or wrong. We are just trying to find out if
Piagets theory about cognitive development is correct.
Take pictures of your set up and of the children performing the tasks. DO
not take a picture of any faces! Just from behind or above.
