More quotes by Jean Piaget
The most developed science remains a continual becoming
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
We learn more when we are compelled to invent.
Jean Piaget
Teaching means creating situations where structures can be discovered.
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
Play is the answer to how anything new comes about.
Jean Piaget
I could not think without writing.
Jean Piaget
It was while teaching philosophy that I saw how easily one can say ... what one wants to say. ... In fact, I became particularly aware if the dangers of speculation ... It's so much easier than digging out the facts. You sit in your office and build a system. But with my training in biology, I felt this kind of undertaking precarious.
Jean Piaget
Only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual.
Jean Piaget
Everytime we teach a child something, we prevent him from inventing it 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
Play is the work of childhood.
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
Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do.
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
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
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
Knowing reality means constructing systems of transformations that correspond, more or less adequately, to reality.
Jean Piaget
