STAGES OF INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT
Jean piaget, the dean of development psychologists, identified four stages in
intellectual development (1962). The sequences of these stages is inviolable
although the average age of each stage can be stated. The age at which stage is
reached will vary with social and cultural environment of child. That is
intellectual development can be accelerated for retarded by environmental
enrichment or impoverishment.
A. Sensorimotor stage (birth to two years)
Action are at first random and reflex with gradual development of coordination
and sense of space the child reacts at first only to perceptual signs. If a toy is
removed from sight. The child is not sure that it still exists increasingly the child
is able to apply actions to new situations and to experiment with new means
to desired ends. For example; by pulling a blanket on which toy rests. By age
one and a half to two. The beginning of memory and planning is evident. As
the child invents new means by mental combination. Symbolic thought
becomes apparent in representational play.
B. proportional stage (two to seven years)
The development language gives great flexibility to intelligence. At first
children center their attention on only one aspect of an object or situation,
later they can perceive relationships among parts at stage they reason from
what they see, not from abstractions. Classification is undeveloped. If shown a
bunch of flowers, half of which are daisies, they cannot say whether there are
more flowers than daisies. They begin to use space and time and to observe
social behavior by age seven, but cannot explain them. From two to four the
child’s social is entirely egocentric from four to seven this gives way to social
directed thought and action.
C. Stage of concrete operations (Seven to twelve years)
Ability to classify and serialize, to arrange objects by size, and the concept of
reversibility develop between about seven and eight. The child’s social
competence is increased with development of language and understanding of
the relativity of viewpoint. The child is concerned with the actual and
characteristically soaves problems in terms of direct experience.
D. Stage of Formal operations (twelve to sixteen years)
Preadolescents begin to solve purely verbal problems, to understand the
concepts of proportion and reciprocity. They are able to integrate their new
intellectual capacities for explanatory purposes. They can manipulate abstract
ides, and they become concerned with the possible rather than the actual.
They are idealistic and tend to believe in the omnipotence of thought the
ability to distinguish what is conceptually possible and what is attainable in fact
comes after abolescensnce as result of experience in the real world.

Northern part of Bangladesh the poorest in the country. About 85% people live

phenomena such as poverty, famine, hunger, un employment natural disaster
arsenic contamination drinking water etc. moreover they are not conscious
