For this discussion board assignment, we are going to delve a bit more into Piaget’s theory of cognitive development and the concept of schemes; specifically, we will think about how even as adults, we have new experiences and adapt to them in a variety of ways. Given that context, please answer the following questions:
Write about something you did for the first time or a big decision you made during either adolescence or adulthood. Think about and describe the thought processes that led you to make the choices you did.
Did you feel prepared or unprepared to make such a decision?
What factors were most important to consider when making your decision?
Did anyone help you reach the conclusion you did? Did you ask for their input or did they just give it?
How did you feel after you made the decision? Was it the right one?
Now think about how you typically think about the world, decision-making, life, etc. — Which stage of Piaget’s cognitive development would you place yourself at currently?Why do you believe you fall under this stage? Provide specific examples.
