PIAGET: Information Processing Theories
CHAPTER 2: MODULE 4:PAGES 45-57
Jean Piaget (1896-1980) A Swiss psychologist who was greatly interested in the education of children. He was the first to develop a Cognitive theory, in 1972, of how children think, from infancy to adulthood. Piaget believed that children move from one stage to the next, sequentially, although some children move faster than others.
“Basic Tendencies in Thinking”(pages 46-47)
You are going to condense your notes from the textbook reading, on to one of the graphic organizers. (Partners/trios.)
3 MAIN TOPICS: •ORGANIZATION •ADAPTATION•EQUILIBRATION
“Basic Tendencies in Thinking”(pages 46-47)
4 MAIN CONCEPTS: •schema•assimilation•accommodation•disequilibrium
Give clear descriptions and examples of these from textbook p.46-47 .

4 MAIN CONCEPTS:
•Schema3 MAIN TOPICS: •ORGANIZATION
Piaget’s: SCHEMA•Basic building
blocks of knowledge.•How you organize
information tounderstand the
world around you.•Objects that are important to you as you learn in
your“ages and stages.”
Piaget’s: SCHEMA
What is an important
object that a baby
would have in her mental schema?
SCHEMA
THINK about your SCHEMA
•What is an object that you
know right now that it is important
to you?

THINK about your family’s SCHEMA
•What are objects that are
important to your parents, your siblings? •Especially as
they are developing
through different ages and stages?
SCHEMA As you develop and grow throughout your life, you keep adding to your Schemata.
Your brain stores all new and old schemata in mental patterns and categories.
On another graphic organizer, give examples of the next main topic and concepts:
MAIN CONCEPTS: •Assimilation•Accommodation
TOPIC: •ADAPTATION
Piaget’s: ASSIMILATION•Drawing on what you already know to make sense
of new schema.
•Organizing new information into
patterns and categories you
know.

MAIN CONCEPTS: •Assimilation•Accommodation
TOPIC: •ADAPTATION
WRITE YOUR OWN EXAMPLES….
Both Assimilation and Accomodation are required to adapt to increasingly complex environments.
Give clear descriptions and examples of these from textbook p.46-47 .
MAIN CONCEPTS: •equilibrium•disequilibrium
MAIN TOPIC:
•EQUILIBRATIONTesting our thinking by searching for a balance between Assimilation and Accommodation until it fits with what we understand.
Piaget’s: EQUILIBRATION•Trying to find a balance between assimilation and
accommodation to make sense of new
schema. DISEQUILIBRIUM
•Cannot find a “fit”.•Hearing a
conversation spoken in a foreign language.
•Making sense of a complex math
problem?
Give clear descriptions and examples of these from textbook p.46-47 .
MAIN CONCEPTS: •equilibrium•disequilibrium
MAIN TOPIC:
•EQUILIBRATIONDISEQUILIBRIUM: When we are
uncomfortable because we can’t find a balance with the new schema. We must re-think it, find a new solution or way to adjust, or not change our thinking, or ignore it.
SCHEMA …Sept. 11, Twin Towers
ASSIMILATION …it must be a terrible accident of some kind?
ACCOMMODATION …the news is reporting it’s a terrorist act.
DISEQUILIBRIUM …NO, not a terrorist attack on American soil…(disbelief, does not fit in my brain)
