Question 2

Mrs. Kouros believes the best way to ensure a successful life for her children is to accelerate their learning at a very early age. Thus, she was thrilled when she saw the advertisement for tech camp designed for children age four to six. The tech camp is a four day summer sleep-over camp that provides young children the opportunity to gain accelerated mathematics and technological skills beyond what they will learn in pre-school or kindergarten. The camp brochure notes that children's cognitive capabilities will develop by leaps and bounds with the intense practice sessions and accelerated curriculum at tech camp. If Jean Piaget were alive today, what advice would he give to Mrs. Kouros who is intrigued by the idea that a camp experience can speed up her child's cognitive development?
 
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Suggested Response: Piaget would argue we cannot speed up or accelerate children's cognitive development. Piaget postulated discontinuous stages that describe qualitatively different levels of children's thinking and reasoning. Piaget theorized that the thinking of the child changes in ways that involve more than just the addition of knowledge and skills and that all the explanation and practice in the world will not help a child functioning at one stage to understand the ways of thinking at a higher stage.
