Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development implicates that:
(a) Curriculum should be designed keeping children’s agegroup and stage in mind.
(b) Focus of teaching should be the outcome of the activity instead of the process of thinking.
(c) Behaviour should be conditioned using rewards and punishments.
(d) Concepts should be taught in a sequence of complex to simple.
Jean Piaget’s theory of cognitive development emphasizes how children construct knowledge and understanding through their interactions with the environment and through intrinsic processes that become more sophisticated with age. Based on this theory, the most appropriate implication for curriculum design from the given options is:
(a) Curriculum should be designed keeping children’s age group and stage in mind.
This aligns with Piaget's stages of cognitive development (sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational), which suggest that educational experiences should be matched to the appropriate developmental stage to optimize learning.
