Briefly describe how Piaget viewed the learner.
Piaget's constructivist account of learning sees the learner as actively making sense of the world by reflecting on the consequences of the learner's own thoughts and actions on the physical and social environment.
Piaget proposed four major stages of cognitive development, and called them (1) sensorimotor intelligence, (2) preoperational thinking, (3) concrete operational thinking, and (4) formal operational thinking. Each stage is correlated with an age period of childhood, but only approximately.
