The issue that I deal with today is how the child comes to know the world around him, and through this point of view of the psychologist Piaget. Piaget's theory has contributed to a greater weight on the intellectual growth of children, he emphasizes the biological functions and environmental influences that give way to the evolutionary changes of the organization or structure, of the intellect. The Swiss psychologist defines intelligence as a vital function key that helps the body to adapt to the environment. This is a form of equilibrium to which all cognitive structures tend. Piaget described the intellectual growth as an active process in which children repeatedly assimilate new experiences and their cognitive structures to accommodate these experiences. Adaptation and organization make it possible for children to build a growing understanding of the world in which they live. Piaget was able to identify four models of age-related reasoning and that, in its view, represent different stages of intellectual growth. These major periods of cognitive development are:
-stage motor direction (from birth 2 years),
pre-operative stage (2 to 7 years),
-the stage of concrete operations (7 to 11 years),
-stage of formal operations (from 11 years onwards) . According to Piaget
all children pass through these stages without being able to jump, because each stage builds on the completion of all previous stages. Piaget's theory is a theory of education, but many educators have learned from the work of the psychologist, that children are naturally curious individuals who learn best with building their own knowledge through experiences of relatively new, that the information that stimulate their understanding and cause them to re-evaluate what they already know .
