Piaget and education

“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; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered.”


- Jean Piaget



          
Every new generation should surpass the past one in accomplishments and expanded knowledge. These two quotes by Piaget reveal that  we must not be content when our children reach us.We should  always expect our children to go farther than we have ever been.It is  vital  to show younger generations to excel in everything they set out to do. Teachers play a very important role in a child’s life. It is never too early to start building tomorrow’s leaders….


            

 

“It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge, mathematical knowledge, physical knowledge, and so forth.” –Piaget

There is a large amount of things we can learn from observing a child’s behavior. Children teach us everyday interesting logical things. A child can teach adults to find happiness in simple things. Children enjoy having friends. They admire, value, and trust their friends. If only that perspective would stay through adulthood, the world would not be so complicated. Children live by their instincts. They do not hesitate to make decisions making the task more difficult than it usually is like adult’s do. Children do not dwell on mistakes; instead they examine the error with curiosity. This opens a window of opportunity to learn.
