Jean Piaget's theory of cognitive development implicates that :

  • A.Behaviour should be conditioned using rewards and punishments.
  • B.Concepts should be taught in a sequence of complex to simple.
  • C.Curriculum should be designed keeping children's age-group and stage in mind.
  • D.Focus of teaching should be the outcome of the activity instead of the process of thinking.

Answer: C

Piaget's theory implies that curriculum should be designed keeping children's age-group and stage in mind.

Piaget held that children pass through qualitatively different stages of thinking, each with its own capabilities and limits. Teaching should match the learner's stage, for example using concrete materials with children in the concrete operational stage before expecting abstract reasoning.

Conditioning with rewards and punishments is behaviourist. Teaching from complex to simple reverses the sensible order, and Piaget valued the process of thinking over the outcome, so the last option is also wrong.
