READING COMPREHENSION

SELECTION I

            Jean Piaget, the word famous Swiss Development psychologist and epistemologist is the researcher who has done most for our understanding of children’s thinking. His work and research suggests that the ability to think develops in several noticeable stages. All children go through these stages in the same fixed order but not everyone moves through the stage at the same time. Also, depending upon a child’s exposure and life experience, some children may think in one stage in certain situations and think in a different stage for other things.

            Elementary school teachers in multi-grade classroom work with children who are in the broad overlapping stages. Intuitive though from 4 to 7 years old; concrete operations, from about 7 to 12 years old; formal operation, from about 12 years on.

            Intuitive thought describes how four to seven years old operate mentally, they typically use their sense impressions or intuition earlier than logic in forming judgements. They also find it hard to remember more than one thing at a time.

            Concrete operational children, on the other hand can do much logical thinking. Their handicap is that the ideas they consider must be tried to concrete materials they can manipulate. Or, at the very least, they must have such first-hand experience with the materials to think about them.

            In the stage of formal operations, children are able to think much more abstractly, there is far less need to refer to concrete objects. With experience similar to adults, they can handle formal logic, that, is the use of the same mental operational as adults.
