The Pedagogical Matrix
Cognitive Features
The teams consist of children of different ages and sexes, so there are several cognitive features in a team. According to this we can divide our characterisation in two parts.
10-12-year old: Their thinking fits into a logical system, although their cognitive abilities don’t allow to analyse the logical connections of a problem in details. The start studying informatics, history, and science at this age, so they only have basic knowledge. We consider this period as a ground stage of their later studies. Children at this age are capable of operational thinking, they can assemble and organise problems in their heads.
13-year old: This age-group entered puberty, and they are open to solving complex problems, and can recognise the logical connections among them. They are interested in acquiring and explaining abstract knowledge. After the ground stage, the special subjects are being worked up.
