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.

More quotes by Jean Piaget
Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.
Jean Piaget
Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality.
Jean Piaget
When you teach a child something you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself.
Jean Piaget
Teaching means creating situations where structures can be discovered.
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
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
During the earliest stages of thought, accommodation remains on the surface of physical as well as social experience.
Jean Piaget
Everytime we teach a child something, we prevent him from inventing it himself.
Jean Piaget
If mutual respect does derive from unilateral respect, it does so by opposition.
Jean Piaget
This means that no single logic is strong enough to support the total construction of human knowledge.
Jean Piaget
Experience precedes understanding.
Jean Piaget
The most developed science remains a continual becoming
Jean Piaget
Punishment renders autonomy of conscience impossible.
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
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.
Jean Piaget
The more we try to improve our schools, the heavier the teaching task becomes and the better our teaching methods the more difficult they are to apply.
Jean Piaget
We learn more when we are compelled to invent.
Jean Piaget
The current state of knowledge is a moment in history, changing just as rapidly as the state of knowledge in the past has ever changed and, in many instances, more rapidly.
Jean Piaget
Are we forming children who are only capable of learning what is already known? Or should we try to develop creative and innovative minds, capable of discovery from the preschool age on, throughout life?
Jean Piaget
It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.
Jean Piaget
