Education brings positive changes in an individual
according to the concerned society.In education Piaget's cognitive theory
has a vital role.Piaget's discoveries have had an impact upon curriculum,
instruction and assessment in schooling,particularly for mathematics.
The aim of this study was to determine Piaget's notion of cognitive
development particularly his concept of attainment of conservation.The
design of the study was descriptive and cross sectional. Population of the
study included all the Primary Schools in District Kohat, North-West of
Pakistan.Sample comprised four schools,two each from urban and rural
areas and a total 160 students including 80 each from rural and urban
(Both genders) were selected through simple random sampling.
Moreover the sample consisted of grades IV and V with equal proportion
of both genders. Seven tasks were developed to attain the objectives of
this particular study.Data was collected through performance of children
and further tabulated,analyzed and interpreted by using SPSS 17.
Results revealed that rural school children showed slightly better
performance as compared to urban students,it might be due to late
enrolments in the schools and female performance is slightly better as
compared to male students.
