| Abstract: | The aim of this study was to explore the extent to which the characteristics of two teaching interventions can bring about
cognitive progress in preschoolers with regard to the factors rolling friction depends on, when it is applied to an object
that is freely rolling on a horizontal surface. The study was conducted in three phases: pre-test, teaching intervention,
and post-test. Two teaching strategies were compared: one inspired by Piaget’s theory (Piagetian approach) and one inspired
by post-Piagetian and Vygotkian assumptions (socio-cognitive approach). A statistically significant difference was found between
the pre-test and post-test, providing evidence that the socio-cognitive approach allows for the creation of a more appropriate
teaching framework compared to the Piagetian one. |
