Guiding Inquiry: How do people's cognitive abilities change as they age? Today's Learning Objective: Students will be able to explain the principles of Piaget's States of Cognitive Ability and use them in the development of their educational activity. |

Because you don't want to give a student something that is too challenging, and vice versa. You don't want to do something that is so mind numbingly boring that will cause your student to instantly disengage.

the age is important because you want to address a lesson to the students understanding. if you try to explain math to a second grader like you would for a high schooler. they wouldn’t get it. but if you do it the other way, the student might feel like people don’t think they’re smart or something. generally people develop better understanding as they age ( to a degree )

Because activities need to be catered for age so they students actually get sometime out of it. The activity needs to be hard enough to be challenging but not so hard that it is impossible. And if they enjoy it then they will want to do it :) 11/3/2021 01:51:48 pm
They should consider this because they need to make sure it is school appropriate, but also they should consider it because they need to make sure the students understand/relate to the material.

Different age groups have different abilities and interests. Depending on their learning levels and ages, certain topics and lessons will just not register in their minds or be too complex to engage in

If it’s past their age range it would frustrate them to the point that they wouldn’t. And if it’s lower then their age group they would see no point in it and won’t do it. Either way it needs to captivate their attention

It depends on your age on what your brain can comprehend and not comprehend

at certain ages little kids don´t understand super complicated things so you have to teach them things in ways that they would understand and if you teach older kids like they don´t know anything they might take it that they are stupid and that can lead to problems so teachers have to teach different way for different ages like if you teach high schoolers like u would a 2nd grader they might take that the wrong way

Because the activity could be way to hard or way too easy. It also may just not be interesting or fun to do.

you shouldn’t give a kindergartner ACT prep

You have to consider the age because young kids are learning basics while older kids need activities that build past the basics.

Because high schoolers will not be entertained or engaged by elementary school material

At different ages people tend to have different levels of knowledge. Kindergartners do not have the knowledge to do something like ACT prep.

Because if you aren't giving age appropriate work, you'll could make people uninterested because they aren't being engaged with the work because its either too easy or too hard, they could also become frustrated if the work is too challenging for them.

The amount of time kids are able to listening and fully pay attention is there age plus two so you need to make sure you cater to that because otherwise the lesson would be useless if they don't pay attention

Depending on the age of the student, different approaches must happen to get the best results.

So they don't get it too complicated or too easy

Some students may not be interested in harder or easier activities.

They need to make sure that their students understand what they're trying to teach them. At younger ages, they won't understand bigger words and more complicated issues. And at different ages, they're interested in different things and activities, so you have to take that into consideration when you're planning activities.

Teachers and educators must consider the age of the students because they have different learning paces and requirements. For example, if I'm teaching someone who is younger, I would most likely give them interactive materials because they can't really understand writing yet and also to fill one of the goals in the Erik Erikson's development goals.

because when people are learning, they are subconsciously referencing past knowledge to help understand, and your age is indicative of how many references you have. Leave a Reply. |
