Over the past five weeks, I have been attempting to paint an updated picture of an educational process that is ever increasingly stifling our capacity to learn. On a theoretical level, developmental progress is defined by the child learning to think “symbolically”, to represent ideas for which no picture exists, as well as working on increasing their language skills. : why the ball only goes to a certain height, before “stopping” then returning at an ever-accelerating speed towards the ground). In all these situations of learning, the child’s mind is chemically etching a position on brain tissue, so as the learning tasks become more complicated, that process takes longer and longer. In measuring student development and progress, Piaget’s model is then used to create testing procedures to measure these factors.
