Secondary title: |
Transition from the preoperational stage of thinking to the concrete logical stage |
Secondary abstract: |
In the theoretical part, I focused on the method and cognitive development theory of Jean Piaget, I presented the factors of cognitive development and described the course of development based on four specific stages of the development of thinking. I compared the mental operations (conservation, serration and egocentrism) and the differences between the answers that children provided, according to the level of thinking at which the child is. I also listed some critiques of Piaget's theory.
The empirical part of the dissertation consists of a research that I conducted in kindergarten and the first and second grades of primary school. With these tests I tried to assess the stage according to Piaget's theory the children were at the time. I found out that most of the children were at a preoperational stage, which is reasonable for their age. The average age of the children who had reached the concrete operational stage was 7 years old, which is also appropriate according to Piaget's theory. However, some children had reached this stage already in the first grade of primary school, at the average age of 6 years and 3 months. I noticed some trivial differences between girls and boys, girls having had slightly better results in the tests. |

Abstract (ePrints): |
V teoretičnem delu sem se posvetila metodi in teoriji Jeana Piageta o kognitivnem razvoju, predstavila sem dejavnike kognitivnega razvoja in opisala potek razvoja po štirih značilnih fazah razvoja mišljenja. Opisala sem miselne operacije (konzervacija, seriacija in egocentričnost) in razlike med odgovori otrok glede na stopnjo mišljenja, na kateri se nahaja otrok. Navedla sem tudi nekaj kritik Piagetove teorije kognitivnega razvoja.
V empiričnem delu je predstavljena raziskava, ki sem jo izvedla z otroki v vrtcu ter prvem in drugem razredu osnovne šole. S testnimi nalogami sem skušala ugotoviti, na kateri stopnji Piagetove teorije so otroci. Ugotovila sem, da se večina otrok nahaja na predoperativni stopnji mišljenja, kar se starostno ujema s Piagetovo teorijo. Povprečna starost otrok, ki so dosegli konkretnologično stopnjo mišljenja, znaša 7 let, kar se prav tako ujema z ugotovitvami Piageta, nekaj otrok pa je to stopnjo doseglo že v prvem razredu, pri povprečni starosti 6 let in 3 mesece. Opazila sem majhne razlike v uspešnosti reševanja nalog med deklicami in dečki, saj so bile deklice nekoliko uspešnejše pri reševanju. |
