Answer to Question 1

Guidelines for applying Piaget's work in classrooms include: (1) Provide concrete experiences that represent abstract concepts and principles, such as using manipulatives to represent math concepts; (2) help students link the concrete representations to the abstract idea, such as linking 10 beans glued to a craft stick to the numeral 10 written on the board; (3) use social interaction to help students verbalize and refine their developing understanding, such as having the students verbalize the relationship between the beans and the numeral; and

Answer to Question 2

Neo-Piagetian theories of development retain Piaget's basic insights into children's construction of knowledge but focus more on the ways people process information to explain movement from one stage to the next than on Piaget's global stages. These views focus more strongly on learners' acquistion of learning strategies, viewing the use of more sophisticated learning strategies as advances in development. These theorists also suggest that advanced executive functioning, such as the ability to maintain attention and suppress intuitive conclusions in favor of more logical processing represents advances in development.
