The Child's Conception of the World

"The Child's Conception of the World" is a study by Jean Piaget that explores how children perceive and understand their surroundings as they grow. Piaget suggests that children actively construct their understanding through experiences, transitioning through stages as they mature. In early childhood, they see the world from a very personal perspective, often confusing fantasy with reality. As they develop, their thinking becomes more logical and abstract, enabling them to grasp complex ideas and relationships. This framework helps educators and parents better appreciate children's cognitive development and adapt their teaching methods accordingly.
