EDUCATION SISTEM IN MOSLEM SOCIETIES ~ StoneR GazebO

One of the western scientists, Jean Piaget, said that children’s development depends on stages of cognitive development. They are sensory-motor (birth-2 yrs), where the children are able to differentiates self from objects , pre-operational (2-7 years), learn to use language and to represent objects by images and words, concrete operational (7-11 years), can think logically about objects and events, formal operational (11 years and up) can think logically about abstract propositions and test hypotheses systematically. On the other hand, Prophet Muhammad said: ‘Learn science from the cradle to the grave.' Is the development dependent on the age or learning process? Include at least three reasons to support your argument. (Mr.YAUMI)

For me, … if the Question is the development dependent on the age or learning process? So the answer is both are two things which can not be separated from the discussion of children’s development because they have very closely correlation to it. Basically , there are two strong concepts about development the first concept is from western scientist ,Jean Piaget said that children’s development depends on stage of cognitive development. They are sensory motor ,operational, concrete operational , formal operational .I am sure that this theory based on strong research and observation. Second concept is from our prophet MUHAMMAD S.A.W said :’ Learn Science from the cradle to the grave’.
These two arguments have each reasons why is it. the age or learning process both are the same as having an important role towards the development of children . If we see to jean Piaget theory. Shows that on every person has the following intelligence from birth. so every stage of children age has influences to their development. Whereas , according to our prophet Muhammad saw. The development is influenced by environment where the child live in. because how high level of intelligence of a child will be able to be influenced by the surrounding environment, including family.so for me ,actually the development dependent on learning process on the grounds that :

1) intelligence level of someone can be changed because some things one of them is environment human brain constantly receives information from what is visible to the eye, the terrace by the five senses,,.

2) When a child is born, he/she comes with a brain ready and eager to learn. The brain is very much like a new computer. It has great potential for development, depending on what we put into it. Early experiences greatly influence the way a person develops.

3) As babies grow, they learn that they are not the center of the universe and that they can depend on others. They develop a trust or mistrust of others. As toddlers, they learn to be proud of their accomplishments and state their opinions and desires. As they become preschoolers, children learn to separate from their parents and adjust to the school environment. They begin to participate in classroom activities. They learn to take turns and to solve conflicts using words. They begin to learn to control their emotions. They learn that it is okay to make a mistake. They develop confidence in themselves and learn to love themselves.
So, the main point is the development of children is influenced by learning process as what our prophet Muhammad said. Thanks….!!!
