Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget
Only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual.
Jean Piaget
Teaching means creating situations where structures can be discovered.
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
To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active.
Jean Piaget
When you teach a child something you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself.
Jean Piaget
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.
