    Piaget's theory of cognitive development has significantly influenced educational theory and practice. It promotes the idea of developmentally appropriate education, where the environment, curriculum, materials, and instruction match students' cognitive, physical, social, and emotional abilities. According to Piaget's theory, children progress through stages of cognitive growth at different rates, so teachers must tailor classroom activities to individuals and groups rather than the whole class. The educational implication is that instruction should be adapted to the learner's developmental level to facilitate learning through exploration and hands-on experiences that encourage advancing to higher understandings.

    Piaget's theory has had a major impact on the theory and practice of education. It has helped to
    create a view where the focus of attention is on the idea of developmentally appropriate
    education. This refers to an educational with environments, curriculum, materials and instruction
    that are consistent with student's physical and cognitive abilities as well as their social and
    emotional needs.
    Salvin (2005) implies four teaching implications Piaget’s theory:
    1. Teachers should emphasize the student's understanding and process they used to get the
    answer.
    2. In a Piagetian classroom, children are encouraged to discover themselves through
    spontaneous interaction with the environment, rather than the presentation of ready-made
    knowledge.
    3. His belief to speed up and accelerate children's process through the stages could be worse than
    no teaching at all.
    4. Piaget's theory asserts that children go through all the same developmental stages, however
    they do so at different rates. Because of this, teachers must make special effort to arrange
    classroom activities for individuals and groups of children rather than for the whole class group.
    Teachers use Piaget’s theory when a discourse syllabus subjects are suitable for the level of
    students or not. For example, recent studies have shown that children in the same grade and of
    the same age perform differentially on tasks measuring basic addition and subtraction fluency.
    While children in the preoperational and concrete operational levels of cognitive development
    perform combined arithmetic operations (such as addition and subtraction) with similar accuracy,
    children in the concrete operational level of cognitive development have been able to perform
    both addition problems and subtraction problems with overall greater fluency.

    The stage of cognitive growth of a person differs from another. It affects and influences how
    someone thinks about everything including flowers. Cognitive development or thinking is an
    active process from the beginning to the end of life. Intellectual advancement happens because
    people at every age and developmental period looks for cognitive equilibrium. To achieve this
    balance, the easiest way is to understand the new experiences through the lens of the preexisting
    ideas. Infants learn that new objects can be grabbed in the same way of familiar objects, and
    adults explain the day’s headlines as evidence for their existing worldview. The educational
    implication of Piaget's theory is the adaptation of instruction to the learner's development level.
    It is important that the content of instruction needs to be consistent with the developmental level
    of the learner. The teacher's main role is the facilitation of learning by providing various
    experiences for the students. "Discovery Learning" allows opportunities for students to explore
    and experiment, while encouraging new understandings. Opportunities that allow learners of
    different cognitive levels to work together often help encourage less mature students to advance
    to a higher understanding of the material. One future implication for the instruction of students is
    the use of hands-on experiences to help students learn (Wood, 2008).
