Learning on ScreenConcrete Operations
- Synopsis
- Following from Piaget’s theories on cognitive development, Dr David Elkind uses structured interviews with children aged four to nine to illustrate the development of transitive thinking and reversibility as children move from the pre-operational to the concrete operational stage of cognitive development. He explores children’s construction of the unit concept, which is basic to arithmetic and beginning reading and examines recent criticisms of Piaget’s theories.
