Jean Piaget (Person)
Jean Piaget
1896 AD - 1980 AD
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."
His theory of child development is studied in pre-service education programs. Educators continue to incorporate constructivist-based strategies.
