This exercise is an example of encouraging and directing concrete experiences to promote increasingly abstract conceptual operations, which is consistent with the theory of Jean Piaget's cognitive development. students are asked to identify a skill necessary for good schoolwork (i.e., an abstract concept) and then apply it to a specific job that requires a specific school subject (i.e., a concrete experience). This exercise encourages students to move from concrete experiences to abstract reasoning, which is a characteristic of Piaget's stage of formal operations.
