INTRODUCTION
Piaget’s Cognitive Theory of Development focus on how children think,
observes, reason out and answers a particular situation base on their mental
ability. This explains on how child responses on a problem presented to him or
her. It is not just on the cognitive ability but the assistance of behavior through
cognitive ability. It includes analysis that children actively seek knowledge and
information. They have the ability to organize knowledge into complex cognitive
structure. A schema in which a child use to be able to understand a situation or
an experience and which will serve as a basis for organizing action to respond
to the environment. It is where the child tends to reason out on a problem given
to him or her by their own knowledge without asking to the adults. This serves as
a test on how child thinks on things in this world that they have their own
understanding base on what they see and they learn throughout a year. They
apply their past learning in reasoning out to a present situation.
This paper would help us analyze on how child thinks for us to be aware
and prepared to interact on their own perception on the world. The purpose of
this video analysis is that the reader would understand the children behavior
and their cognitive ability and to us to apply it on a future use.
As future educator or a pre-service teacher this would create a big to us
as we are to interact to a child as time comes. This serve as a big help to us for
us to apply all the learning we gather through this theory. We can be able to
interrelate to the children in a proper way. We can achieve a student-teacher
good relationship. Understanding the child behavior, the way they think and
their thinking level is what we are going to focus. We could be able to teach the
proper learning base on their ability to learn, their ways in learning and strategy
in learning.

III- CONCLUSION
In general, children have their own ability in thinking, behavior; attitudes
and thinking level that help them learn something. It is their strategy in learning
on how they interact to the world on how things are being observe base on their
cognitive ability with the motor coordination. This shows that children develop in
different stage of their growth. It is also because of the some factors that
motivate them to do it or to solve it. Emotional, social, psychological and other
factors that they become an adult and more matured in thinking. This is a just
guide to the people on how to interact appropriately to the children and
awareness should be there.
