Jean Piaget’s Biograph

y

•Born: August 9, 1896

•Died: September 16, 1980

Jean Piaget's Early Life:

•Jean Piaget was born in Switzerland in 1896 and began showing an interest in the natural sciences at a very early age.

•By age 11, he had already started his career as a researcher by writing a short paper on an albino sparrow. He continued to study the natural sciences and received his Ph.D. in Zoology from University of Neuchâtel in 1918.

•  After receiving his doctoral degree at age 22, Piaget formally began a career that would have a profound impact on both psychology and education.

• After working with Alfred Binet, Piaget developed an interest in the intellectual development of children. Based upon his observations, he concluded that children were not less intelligent than adults, they simply think differently. Albert Einstein called Piaget's discovery "so simple only a genius could have thought of it.

Theory of

Cognitive Developme

nt

•Piaget's stage theory describes the cognitive development of children.

•Cognitive development involves changes in cognitive process and abilities. In Piaget's view, early cognitive development involves processes based upon actions and later progresses into changes in mental operations.

•"What the genetic epistemology proposes is discovering the roots of the different varieties of knowledge, since its elementary forms, following to the next levels, including also the scientific knowledge," he explained in his book Genetic Epistemology.

•Epistemology is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with the origin, nature, extent, and limits of human knowledge.

•He was interested not only in the nature of thought, but in how it develops and understanding how genetics impact this process.•His early work with Binet's intelligence tests had led him to conclude that children think differently than adults.

Key Concepts:

Schemas:

A schema describes both the mental and physical actions involved in understanding and knowing. Schemas are categories of knowledge that help us to interpret and understand the world.

The process of taking in new information into our previously existing schema's is known as assimilation.

Assimilation:

  Another part of adaptation involves changing or altering our existing schemas in light of new information, a process known as accommodation.

Accommodation:
