The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done.

More quotes by Jean Piaget
During the earliest stages the child perceives things like a solipsist who is unaware of himself as subject and is familiar only with his own actions.
Jean Piaget
Chance... in the accommodation peculiar to sensorimotor intelligence, plays the same role as in scientific discovery. It is only useful to the genius and its revelations remain meaningless to the unskilled.
Jean Piaget
During the earliest stages of thought, accommodation remains on the surface of physical as well as social experience.
Jean Piaget
The most developed science remains a continual becoming
Jean Piaget
I am convinced that there is no sort of boundary between the living and the mental or between the biological and the psychological. From the moment an organism takes account of a previous experience and adapts to a new situation, that very much resembles psychology.
Jean Piaget
We learn more when we are compelled to invent.
Jean Piaget
Experience precedes understanding.
Jean Piaget
Reflective abstraction, however, is based not on individual actions but on coordinated actions.
Jean Piaget
To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active.
Jean Piaget
Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality.
Jean Piaget
What we see changes what we know. What we know changes what we see.
Jean Piaget
I could not think without writing.
Jean Piaget
Only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual.
Jean Piaget
Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.
Jean Piaget
The self thus becomes aware of itself, at least in its practical action, and discovers itself as a cause among other causes and as an object subject to the same laws as other objects.
Jean Piaget
The more the schemata are differentiated, the smaller the gap between the new and the familiar becomes, so that novelty, instead of constituting an annoyance avoided by the subject, becomes a problem and invites searching.
Jean Piaget
As you know, Bergson pointed out that there is no such thing as disorder but rather two sorts of order, geometric and living.
Jean Piaget
How can we, with our adult minds, know what will be interesting? If you follow the child...you can find out something new.
Jean Piaget
If mutual respect does derive from unilateral respect, it does so by opposition.
Jean Piaget
Every time we teach a child something, we keep him from inventing it himself. On the other hand, that which we allow him to discover for himself will remain with him visible for the rest of his life.
Jean Piaget
