Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
From Piagets theory we learn that:
Materials: Children need many objects to explore, balanced between open-ended, guided, and self-correcting ones.
Scheduling: Children need lots of time to explore materials and engage in play, as well as some time for adult-given ideas and questions.
Teachers role:
The teacher should know ages and stages of typical development, understand the egocentric way of thinking, ask questions rather than always telling or giving answers, and provide opportunities for children to make decisions and exchange viewpoints.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Piagets theory is both maturational and environmental:
maturational: The sequence of cognitive stages is governed by heredity.
environmental: The experiences a child has directly influence development.
Examples of each side of nature/nurture controversy:
nature/maturational: any innate, genetic, or biologic factors, such as eye color and so forth
nurture/environmental: any learned experience, such as home/family, school, media,
peers, toys, and so on
