Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist and genetic epistemologist. He is most famously known for his theory of cognitive development that looked at how children develop intellectually throughout the course of childhood.
Prior to Piaget's theory, children were often thought of simply as mini-adults. Piaget's theory had a tremendous influence on the emergence of developmental psychology as a distinctive subfield within psychology and contributed greatly to the field of education. He is also credited as a pioneer of the constructivist theory, which suggests that people actively construct their knowledge of the world based on the interactions between their ideas and their experiences.
Piaget was ranked as the second most influential psychologist of the 20th century in one study. Jean Piaget was born in Switzerland on August 9, , and he began showing an interest in the natural sciences at a very early age. By age 11, he had already started his career as a researcher by writing a short paper on an albino sparrow. He continued to study the natural sciences and received his Ph.
Piaget later developed an interest in psychoanalysis and spent a year working at a boys' institution created by Alfred Binet. Binet is known as the developer of the world's first intelligence test, and Piaget took part in scoring these assessments. While his early career consisted of work in the natural sciences, it was during the s that he began to move toward work as a psychologist. It was Piaget's observations of his own children that served as the basis for many of his later theories.
Piaget identified himself as a genetic epistemologist. Piaget observed the cognitive development of his own children and came up with a model to describe the stages that children pass through in the development of intelligence and reasoning.
The theory consists of four stages; 1 the sensorimotor stage 2 the preoperational stage, 3 the concrete operational stage, and 4 the formal operation stage. Thus he concluded that efforts to introduce abstract concepts to children at a young age would not result in conceptual learning but would only lead to memorization rote learning.
Although Piaget did not know how to apply his theories to education, he was a proponent of hands-on learning. He awoke every morning at four and wrote at least four publishable pages before teaching classes or attending meetings. After lunch he would take walks and ponder on his interests. He read extensively in the evening before retiring to bed. Every summer he vacationed in the Alpine Mountains of Europe and wrote extensively. Piaget died on September 17, in Geneva, Switzerland and was remembered by the New York Times as the man whose theories were "as liberating and revolutionary as Sigmund Freud's earlier insights into the stages of human emotional life.
Many have hailed him as one of the country's most creative scientific thinkers. Furth, Piaget and Knowledge: Theoretical Foundations , contains a brief autobiographical statement by Piaget. Flavell , has an excellent opening chapter by J. Hunt on the impact of Piaget's work. Piaget's obituary in the New York Times September 17, also provides some biographical information. In a revised version, he allowed children to explain the logic of their "incorrect" answers.
In areas where children lacked life experience as a point of reference, they logically used their imagination to compensate. He additionally concluded that factual knowledge should not be equated with intelligence or understanding. Over the course of his six-decade career in child psychology, Piaget also identified four stages of mental development.
The first is called the "sensorimotor stage," which involves learning through motor actions and takes place when children are 0—2 years old. During the "preoperation stage," children aged 3—7 develop intelligence through the use of symbolic language, fantasy play and natural intuition. During the "concrete operational stage," children 8—11 develop cognitively through the use of logic that is based on concrete evidence. Piaget called his collective theories on child development a "genetic epistemology.
Piaget died of unknown causes on September 16, , in Geneva, Switzerland.
