More quotes by Jean Piaget
When you teach a child something you take away forever his chance of discovering it for himself.
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
If mutual respect does derive from unilateral respect, it does so by opposition.
Jean Piaget
Punishment renders autonomy of conscience impossible.
Jean Piaget
Experience precedes understanding.
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
To express the same idea in still another way, I think that human knowledge is essentially active.
Jean Piaget
Only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual.
Jean Piaget
Play is the work of childhood.
Jean Piaget
Moral autonomy appears when the mind regards as necessary an ideal that is independent of all external pressures.
Jean Piaget
The most developed science remains a continual becoming
Jean Piaget
We learn more when we are compelled to invent.
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
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
Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do.
Jean Piaget
Teaching means creating situations where structures can be discovered.
Jean Piaget
Logical positivists have never taken psychology into account in their epistemology, but they affirm that logical beings and mathematical beings are nothing but linguistic structures.
Jean Piaget
What we see changes what we know. What we know changes what we see.
Jean Piaget
Each time one prematurely teaches a child something he could have discovered himself, that child is kept from inventing it and consequently from understanding it completely.
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.
