Piaget’s theory of Schema Development

A schema is an organised package of information that stores our knowledge about the world.

It is a category of knowledge as well as the process of acquiring knowledge.

We each have many schemas, one for each aspect of our lives.

Balance of schemas.

For example, all four animals are a horse.

New information: doesn't make sense in your schema.

For example, see a four legged animal but it's a pig?

Learn new information.

For example, learn new information about four legs.

Attach it to your schema.

For example, attach it to your schema/ adapt and change.
