Marcin, A. (n.d.). Piaget Stages of Development: What Are They and How Are They Used? Healthline. https://www.healthline.com/health/piaget-stages-of-development
This article is very effective and efficent to use to find information about Jean Piaget. It states all the information about his theory, and the ways he created it.

This source compares and evaluates the different theories of children's cognitive development including those of Piaget and Vygotsky. The article goes on to explain how Piaget's thinking of how a child learns is through sensory and motor interactions with their environment. Although both Piaget and Vygotsky believed that intelligence was a process of adaptation, Vygotsky believed that the two most important tools for a child to learn is language and social interaction. The article continues to compare and explore the difference in the two theories including Piaget's different stages of development and why Vygotsky does not believe that stages are necessary. This source was helpful while examining the question of what is the difference between the two theories. 

 

This is a good article to answer the question “Is Piaget’s theory used today?” as it answers how children have developed into today’s society by using his theory. Children are still able to do brain-based learning, have nature and outdoors experiences, and just play in general.

This article discusses the professions and work Jean Piaget has done for children. Piaget mainly investigated the origin, nature, and limits of human knowledge. His learnings of these factors led him to discover and formulate a theory that children do not think like adults and are only capable to slowly understand the concepts of volume, numbers, distance and morality. This source is applicable to my question because it lays out the work Piaget has done to evolve theories in development of children. 

This is a parenting article in which it explains on how a child learns and more importantly, proves that children always learn via assistance, whether it be directly or indirectly. Some theories indicate that children have inherent skills but in actuality, they just have an inherent desire to learn. The article is excellent as it indicates the number of ways that children learn whether it be through imitating someone else (indirect) or a child being taught exactly how to do something (direct). Considering my topic inquires whether children can learn without assistance, this article proves the opposite of the question’s affirmative. Additionally, the article contrasts theories of child development theorists such as Vygotsky, who often creates his theories under the assumption that all children are the same. The author speaks of how every child learns at a different pace and more importantly, language development wildly differs from person to person. 

This article is used to address the question of which theory is more reasonable by comparison. This is a powerful article that compares how both theories reach a similar conclusion and how Piaget and Vygotsky analyze child and adolescent development, mainly how both theorists describe the attraction of one’s mindset. Piaget’s theory focused on 4 steps emphasizing how the child matures overtime from their evolutionary stages of childhood through adulthood but was heavily criticized and paled in comparison to Vygotsky’s theory as it failed to take into account individual situations. Vygotsky represented growth and potential through his theory known as Zone of Proximal Development, a theory that emphasizes individuality and what entertains their social practices.

The study looks at how socio-emotional development might correlate to cognitive development. They used 120 preschool children in this study. The final conclusion was that socio-emotional and cognitive development were correlated. This source was very useful because it provided good research and reliable information.
