Hi partners, today i´m talk about Jean Piaget.
He was an epistemologist, psychologist and biologist.
He was an epistemologist, psychologist and biologist.
He was born on August 9, 1986, in
Switzerland. At age 22 he moved to Paris, where he continued his studies in biology and
psychology. In 1921 he returned to Switzerland and in 1923, he married Valentine Châtenay, with
whom he had three children: Lucienne, Laurent and Jacqueline, whom
Piaget studied from his childhood.
Finally he died on
September 16, 1980, in Switzerland, at the age of 84 years.
He specialized in child psychology
and his main job consisted in cognitive theory that
explains the human behavior
from mental schemes and he called constructivist theory of learning. He thought that cognitive capacity and
intelligence are closely linked to the
social and physical
environment and thus the two processes that characterize the
evolution and adaptation of
the human psyche are those of assimilation and accommodation. In this way he added the
stages of cognitive development as specific cognitive characteristics for each
stage of the human being, these are:
sensorimotor stage,
pre-operational stage, concrete-operational stage and formal-operational stage.
This author is my favorite because he try to
explain the human behavior from a cognitive theory, however he to received
many criticism because he proposed rigid development stages.
it looks interesting
