| dc.description.abstract | This study attempted to determine the cognitive developmental level attained by Grades 1 and 2 students in some Caribbean islands and determine whether differences existed in the attainment of the cognitive development level by students in the different islands. The sample comprised 1,621 first grade students and 1,414 second grade students from six Caribbean islands. The study involved the administration of the Concepts in Secondary Mathematics and Science Programme Operational Task 1 to the students. In both Grades 1 and 2, the majority of the students were still at the pre-operational stage. About 27 percent of Grade 1 students were at the concrete and early formal level; 43.4 percent of the Grade 2 students were at the concrete level, but none were at the formal level. There were some differences in the attainment of cognitive development among students in the islands studied. In St. Lucia, two Grade 1 students were found to be at the early formal level, while in Barbados the highest level attained was the early concrete level. In Jamaica and St. Kitts, the mid-concrete was the highest level attained while the highest level in Trinidad and Tobago was the late concrete. The highest level attained in Grade 2 was the late concrete in Trinidad and Tobago and the mid-concrete in the other countries | |
