Evaluating the effect of storyline theme on cognitive learning development of children and adolescents

Abstract

Children and adolescents are active learners who are influenced by their environment. Many theories are suggested in this regard, but one of these theories is Piaget's theory of cognitive learning development (CLD). This theory was applied in a book titled "why did the river fall silent" by Tamer, which has been translated into several different languages. This study aims to evaluate the effect of storyline theme on CLD of children and adolescents according to the Tamer's stories. This would be considered by academic managers and researchers in the field of children and adolescent training and can be modeled on it. The research findings indicate that, theme of storyline would allow children and adolescents to think about the events and understand the experiences, so these features would possibly transmit to children and adolescents when they are expressed in an intelligent way through fascinating theme; besides, this feature would possibly create emotional tension and present mental challenges, which tend to promote CLD in children and adolescents.
