1. Pre Operational. Laura was unable to think through the problem wiht logical reasoning. Its all based on perception and she was unable to budge on her idea on polution even though her teacher made very logical and realistic points.
2. Laura is using her perception of the world to solve the problem. Her perception and intuition may not include enough information to solve this problem. She was unable to understand conversation. She egocentric, unable to consider the wold from a perspective other then her own.
3. By constantly posing new questions to Laura, Mr. Marculescu is trying help her move to the next stage of Concrete Operation. Potentially it should also help Laura to view someone else's perspective, learn from others, and help to further educate her about polution.
4. Concept of Play
Piaget: He believed that a child's efforts to make their environment match his or her own concepts. His theory holds that play does not necessarily result in new cognitive structures. Piaget claimed that play was just for pleasure. And this play for Laura shows just that. She is not learning or producing new congnitive structures during the debate even though new ideas or perspectives are put right in from of her.
Vigotsky: His theory states that play actually facilitates cognitive development. Children not only practice what they already know-they also learn new things. This doesn't seem the case in Laura's situation. She isn't showing any new congnitive development once she has applied what she already knows.
Piaget wins!
