A schema is a mental framework that helps individuals organize and make sense of their experiences.
Individuals use schema to understand a situation or experience by actively constructing their own understanding through interactions with their environment.
The primary focus of cognitive functioning changes and stages in Piaget's theory is on how children construct knowledge and adapt to their environment.
A schema refers to a mental framework or a set of ideas that help individuals understand and interpret their experiences.
