Cognitive development

Dear students,

    in your future teaching practice you will be passing on knowledge and skills to your students on a daily basis. To do so adequately you need to know developmental specifics of your student´s cognitive skills. A very good theoretical support in this field is theory of Cognitive development proposed by Jean Piaget. Piaget´s theory was a turning point in the upbringing and education of children and adolescents and is still relevant.
