assignment 5
Regarding the impact of Piaget’s theory upon parenting, as well as education, there seems to be an obvious disconnect between my perception of reality and Piaget’s perspectives. Piaget seems to paint a picture that is very black and white. By that I mean, his theory does not take into account any extenuating factors such as cultural, personality, socio-economic background or other influencers which could either speed up or slow down the maturation and learning process. Piaget also does not take into account the learning concepts or approaches that differ between science, math, language or logic, for example. I do believe that Piaget’s theory is a valid guideline, but should not be considered as a rule.

I agree with you about the cultural and socio-economic issues that could have a role in developmental problems. While he still does have a steady theory he does not take outside issues into consideration.
agreed! every kid is different. they all go through sort of the same stuff but they dont have to go through it at any particular time. and parenting doesnt change that process
