In order to research into the Bevel of the concept of movement and speed in our own way and compare with the Piaget's method, and then find out the formative period of such development, we have put the 192 primary school children as the model and obtained the following results.
1. As their grade goes upyards, all the experimental subjects showed the gradual progress generally regardless of sex or regions, while only the relative speed ahcwed irregular progress.
2. There was no experimental subject which showed any remarkable sexual characteristics. But in the relative movement, the lower grade boys and higher grade girls made progress.
In the subjects of circulation movement, intuition of speed, relative speed and speed of simultaneous movement, the boys marked better progress, whilst the girls were advanced a little in the speed of continuous movement with different distance and time.
3. There was no conspicuous differehce between the urban and rural areas, except a slight tendency that the urban children made better progress in the change of progressing direction, native continuous procedure of periodical movement, travelling road, and the speed of continuous movement with different distance and time whereas the rural children were more advanced in the relative movement, relative speed and intuition of speed.
But it should be taken into consideration that the rural regions in our case were relatively developed in comparison with the traditional rural communities, which may explain about little regional difference.
4. Comparing our research results with the Piaget's theory, we have reached below results. Our research reports that the formative period of the conception of the problems of diverse progressing direction and a native continuous procedure of periodical movement was simultaneous, at the Piagetian level(at the fourth grade) which coincides with Piagetian theory. The travelling road should be made up a little lower at 2A/2B according to Piagetian Level, whereas it was farmed at the 4th grade ae shown in our Previous reaeach.
Intuition of speed should belong to the prior stage to concrete operation, but our research shows it was formed late at the 4th grade.
Composition of displacement was made at the 6th grade. and it was almost equal to the first stage of formal operation(3A). But in the subjects of relative movement relative speed, the speed of continuous movement with different distance and time, relation and preservation of invariable speed, and accelerated motion, even 6th grade children marked a poor record.
Summed up, the procedure conception as a basic movement conceptioa coincides with the Piagetion level. But as for speed intuition, relative speed sad speed fixation, it was far behind Piagetian level. Therefore it is required that we have to concentrate on the systematic training in these parts on the spot.
