Synopsis
THE GREAT IMPORTANCE of the work of Professor Jean Piaget of Geneva for child psychology, and thus for education, has long been recognized. Piaget studied the mental development of children and developed a scientific framework to explain the phases in how children think and how they learn. His pioneering work in developmental psychology continues to help educators design more effective educational programs to this day.
Piaget’s research is fundamental in helping us to understand children's intellectual growth. We owe to him a striking fresh picture of the child himself as the architect of this growth.
Piaget's impact lies chiefly in his identification of how the basic framework of thought evolves, a process which later the child, and we, mostly take for granted; but that is what makes the new picture so illuminating. And from the angle of early childhood teachers it is noteworthy that the period from 4-5 years to 7-8 years turns out to be a specially important one, anyway for the average run of children. Children generally make their biggest step forward in the building of that cognitive framework precisely during the nursery school and kindergarten period.
“An Introduction to Piaget” offers a thumbnail sketch of the whole story, as Piaget presents it, and then dwells more fully on the happenings of the Infant School phase.
