Jean Piaget and Lawrence Kohlberg were influential developmental psychologists who studied children's cognitive and moral development. Piaget identified four stages of cognitive development from birth to adulthood, focusing on how children construct knowledge from experiences. Kohlberg built upon Piaget's work and identified three levels and six stages of moral development, suggesting morality progresses through seeking justice. Both theorists viewed development as progressive construction through environmental interactions over time.

Jean Piaget (1896-1980)
OVERVIEW;
Piaget’s theory had a tremendeous influence on the emergence of
developmental psychology as a distinctive subfield within
psychology and contributed greatly to the field of education. He is
also credited as a pioneer of the constructivist theory, which
suggests that people actively construct their knowledge of the world
based on the interactions between their ideas and their experiences.

Jean Piaget was born in Switzerland on August 09, 1896 and he


began showing an interest in the natural sciences at a very early
age. By age 11, he had already started his career as a
researcher by writing a short paper on an albino sparrow. He
continued to study the natural sciences and received his Ph.P in
Zoology from the University of Neuchâtel in 1918.
Piaget identified himself as a genetic epistemologist. “What the
genetic epistemology proposes is discovering the roots of the
different varieties of knowledge, since its elementary forms,
following to the next levels, including also the scientific
knowledge” he explained in his paper GENETIC
EPISTEMOLOGY.
Epistemology is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with
the origin, nature, extent and limits of human knowledge. Piaget
was interested not only in the nature of thought but also in how tit
develops and understanding how genetic impact process

Piaget helped demonstrate that childhood is a unique and


important period of human developments.
GENENITC EPISTEMOLOGY
Piaget’s theories continue to be studied in the areas of
psychology, education, and genetics. His work contributed to
our understanding of the cognitive development of children.
While earlier researchers had often viewed children simpler as
smaller versions of adults.
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT
The theory identifies four stages;
1. The Sensorimotor Stage- The first stage of development lasts from birth to
approximately age two.

2. The Properational Stage- The second stage of development lasts from the
ages of two to seven and is characterized by the development of language and
the emergence of symbolic play.
3. The Concrete Operational Stage- The third stage of cognitive development
lasts from the age of seven to approximately age 11.

4. The Formal Operation Stage – In the fourth and final stage of cognitive
development, lasting from age 12 and into adulthood, children become much
more adept at abstract thought and deductive seasoning.
CONTRIBUTION OF JEAN PIAGET;
He studied the intellectual development of his
theory that describes the stages that children
pass through in the development of intelligence
and formal thought processes.
SIMILARITIES BETWEEN JEAN
PIAGET TO LAWRENCE KOHLBERG
Early stages of moral reasoning are characterized by immediate and
concrete rewards or punishment.
DIFFERENCES OF JEAN PIAGET
BETWEEN LAWRENCE KOHLBERG
Jean Piaget conceptualizes moral development as a
constructivist process, whereby the interplay of action and
thought builds moral concepts.
IN HIS OWN WORDS;

“The principle goal of education in the schools


should be creating men and women who are
capable of doing new things, not simply repeating
what other generations have done”
LAWRENCE KOHLBERG (1927-
1987)
OVERVIEW;
Lawrence Kohlberg was born in Bronxville, New York on
October 25, 1927. Kohlberg enrolled in the University of
Chicago, and with high examination scores. He was excused
from many required courses and received his bachelor’s
degree in just one year. He received his PhD in psychology
from the University of Chicago in 1958. His dissertion was
based on his research into the moral choices of adolescent
boys and led to a life devoted to the exploration of moral and
ethical development in young people.
Major works comprised the theory of moral development. This
theory was developed through an inspiration by the works of
JEAN PIAGET
OVERVIEW;

Lawrence Kohlberg developed his theory on the basis of the


assumption that human beings are internally motivated to learn
and broaden their horizons by experiencing through the
environment they interact with on a daily basis. This
phenomenon is known as social development.
OVERVIEW;
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development is a theory that focuses
on how children develop morality and moral reasoning.
Kohlberg’s theory suggests that moral development occurs in a
series of six stages. The theory also suggests that moral logic is
primarily focused on seeking and maintaining justice.
The term refers to the way people learn what society
considered to be “good” and “bad” which is important for a
smoothly functioning society. Moral developments prevents
people from acting for society and good for others.
Kohlberg identified three distinct levels of
moral reasoning;

1. Pre Conventional
2. Conventional
3. Post-Conventional

DIFFERENCES OF LAWRENCE
KOHLBERG TO JEAN PIAGET
Kohlberg's cognitive‐stage‐developmental theory is often described as
a further development of Piaget's moral theory. In discussing the two
theories, it is shown that Kohlberg attempts to describe the features of
moral thought and not the formation of the independent moral function. 
SIMILARITIES OF LAWRENCE
KOHLBERG TO JEAN PIAGET
By comparison found between the theory of Piaget and Kohlberg
have taken the biggest similarity is that psychological development
perspective to explain the formation of human morality, mainly
reflected in: First, the two are basically the moral concept of
development is a longitudinal dimension in the relationship
CONTRIBUTION OF LAWRENCE
KOHLBERG
Kohlberg’s stages of moral development we’re influenced by
the Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget’s stage based theory of
development.
