Development VIDEO
The aim of this program is to examine
Piagets theory and to critically evaluate it in light of modern research. The study
of child development in the 20th century has revolved around Jean Piagets theories,
and the program clearly describes their central themes, covering the cognitive stages of
development from birth to twelve years old, giving illustrations of childrens
behavior at each level. Recent research is examined in relation to each stage and
comparisons drawn with the theories of Jerome Bruner. The program concludes that children
are more cognitively capable at an earlier age than Piaget suggested, but it is the ages
rather than the stages that are disputed. Other developments such as metacognition and
theory of mind are outlined, and recent research findings are reported. (58 minutes,
