According Piaget’s adaptive theory of cognitive development in response to the environment, the child adds new information to his original conception by not changing his viewpoint. But to the stage of adaptiveaccommodative response, the child changes his original viewpoint by accommodating new information. Vygotsky interpreted such a change as the development of the dimension of agency which is understood as the one making change. Based on Piaget’s and Vygotsky, Reunamo worked out four categories of responses: as adaptive-assimilation, adaptiveaccommodation, agentive-assimilation, agentive-accommodation. Using Reunamo’s 4 categories, this project interviewed 1,064 children, aged from 3 to 6, to explore how they respond to 16 hypothetical situations. The results are as follows: First, the most responses were agentiveaccommodation. That means the children themselves try to change the environment, and change themselves in the process. Second, the next most visible category is adaptive-accommodation. In this category, the children do not try to change the environment but change themselves to accommodate to the situation. These two categories responses are increasing with ages. The less responses are agentive-assimilation and adaptive-assimilation which are decreasing with age. |
