More quotes by Jean Piaget
Teaching means creating situations where structures can be discovered.
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 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
Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do.
Jean Piaget
Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality.
Jean Piaget
Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.
Jean Piaget
Moral autonomy appears when the mind regards as necessary an ideal that is independent of all external pressures.
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
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
During the earliest stages of thought, accommodation remains on the surface of physical as well as social experience.
Jean Piaget
We learn more when we are compelled to invent.
Jean Piaget
Punishment renders autonomy of conscience impossible.
Jean Piaget
What we see changes what we know. What we know changes what we see.
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
Accommodation of mental structures to reality implies the existence of assimilatory schemata apart from which any structure would be impossible.
Jean Piaget
Reflective abstraction, however, is based not on individual actions but on coordinated actions.
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
The most developed science remains a continual becoming
Jean Piaget
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.
