Jean Piaget (9 August 1896 – 16 September
1980) was a Swiss psychologist known for his work on child
development. Piaget's theory of cognitive
development and epistemological view are together called "genetic epistemology". Piaget
placed great importance on the education of children. As the Director of the International Bureau of Education,
he declared in 1934 that "only education is capable of saving our societies
from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual."[21]
His theory of child development is studied in pre-service education programs.
Educators continue to incorporate constructivist-based strategies. Piaget was
the first to describe the stages of child growth. He said children progress
from one stage to the next in the same way regardless of culture. From being
a baby to walking and talking, etc. All children develop the same way. From: Wikipedia (Full Wikipedia article) |
