After doing this assignment students will be able to:
 Understand the influences of cognitive development on Childs’ thinking.
 Analyze their personality by using personality tests.

Question 1 (10 Marks)

 What are the main influences of Piaget’s theory on cognitive development of child? Why is
Piaget’s theory of cognitive development consistent with active learning?

Its astounding to observe the development and development of information through the span of many months.
As children associate with their condition and new items, they learn and create thoughts. How about we talk
about how this procedure happens as indicated by Piaget's cognitive development hypothesis.
Jean Piaget’s introduced the concept, presented a developmental epistemology that concentrated on the
development of intelligence from early stages to adulthood. Piaget's hypothesis is impacted by the
accompanying thoughts. These thoughts helped Piaget to build up his fundamental suspicions, which structure
the establishment of his hypothesis.

The first is that intelligence, similar to a biological system, develops the structures it needs to work. Second,
knowledge is the connection between the individual and the environment. Third, the development of
intelligence is affected by four components:
 Physical Environment
 Social Environment
 Maturation
 Equilibration
The first is that children are dynamic and persuaded students. Children will search out data to enable them
to understand their reality. For instance, a youngster may experience another toy. Rather than latently
watching the toy, instead of passively observing with toys. The second supposition that will be that children
build knowledge from their surroundings and environment. Children don't have disengaged bits of data.
Rather, they assemble and develop new knowledge dependent on their experiences and perceptions. For
instance, a kid develops knowledge about animals by interacting with them, watching them, figuring out
how they walk and realizing what sounds they make. They constantly add to their knowledge so as to make
comprehension and convictions about animals. The knowledge children obtain is composed into a pattern,
or groupings of comparable activities. After some time, these mappings may change, yet they give a
significant base dimension of data about specific occasions, items and data. Our third supposition that will
be that children learn through two procedures: assimilation and accommodation. These are significant terms
in understanding the cognitive development hypothesis, and they ordinarily work connected hand in hand.
Assimilation is characterized as managing another occasion in a manner that is predictable with a current
pattern. For instance, a little child may absorb another ball into the diagram of toys that can be tossed. On
 the other hand a second grader assimilate anew furry animal seen at the zoo into their animals that are warm
blooded creatures construction. Convenience is the way toward managing new data or occasions by either
altering a current outline or framing another one. For instance, the little child may understand that the new
ball is too substantial to be in any way tossed, so he may need to move it, in this way altering his current
blueprint of all toy balls can be tossed. On the other hand the youngster at the zoo may take note of that the
furry animals are flying and make another construction of creatures. The fourth suspicion of Piaget's
cognitive development hypothesis is cooperation with one's physical and social environments is basic for
cognitive development. As indicated by Piaget, testing and controlling physical items is the primary way
children learn. For instance, playing with new items and toys and testing in a lab are approaches to build up
a tyke's knowledge. The social environment is likewise basic for cognitive development. Social
communications take into consideration numerous points of view, feelings and acquaintance of new ways
with methodology an undertaking or occasion. Our fifth presumption manages balance. The procedure of
equilibration advances movement towards progressively complex idea. Balance is the state when leaners can
clarify new occasions with existing knowledge.
Piaget theory of cognitive development is active learning because it experience from active behaviors and
environment whenever we observe things nearly we determine different behavior For example a children
go to park he observe that grass color is green or sometime yellow he explore different flowers and flowers
and birds. So active learning help us to create and understand about facts and figure. Active Learning can
help us to involve in study to get more knowledge about it.

Question 2 (10 Marks)

 When you are finished, Write about the results.
 Do you agree or disagree with the results and why?

4. 16 Personalities Test https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
I take personality test through keirsey Temperament Sorter, Similar Minds personality test, and 16 personalities
Test. Result of Keirsey Temperament Sorter is:

I think these show right parameters of me that I have same as the result of this personality test. This also show
me a career choice which is best for me to choose one of them to stick on that skill. I totally agree with these
results.
Second Result of Similar Mind Personality Test :
This result show my personality as I have many things for dicovering new knowledge , love with nature I think
this result is not correct about nature that I love nature more than 53% this result is not accurate otherwise other
result are true.

Third Result of 16 personality Test:

I think this result 100% is correct that my most of time surf on analyzing new knowledge just like news and
tech. I love both of stuff it can help to perceive any knowledge and then analyze on it. It can help me to increase
my knowledge and my reading skills. And it can also help me to think critically on every type of situation. And
it will also addict to read different books so that’s why I listen too much videos which help me too increase my
