Piaget’s theory of cognitive development is a maturational theory which claims that children use their physical environment to explore, which in turn develops their cognitive skills.
Children learn via action and reflection, constructing meaning from what they discover around them.
Jim comments that Roji is constantly exploring her world, like Piaget’s idea of children as ‘little scientists’.
Rosie acknowledges that Roji is engaged in discovery learning - she is using the physical world to build up schema as Piaget suggested.
The concept of discovery learning is now used widely in educational settings hence the theory has good validity.
Piaget originally developed his theory by observing his own children at home which lacks both reliability and validity.
Piaget’s theory has been supported by many research studies e.g. Samuel & Bryant, McGarrigle & Donaldson.
