3. WHO IS JEAN PIAGET ?
 Jean William Fritz Piaget 9 August 1896 – 16 September 1980) was a Swiss psychologist known
for his work on child development. Piaget's theory of cognitive development and epistemological
view are together called "genetic epistemology".
 By the time he was 11, he had already started his career as a researcher by writing a short paper
on an albino sparrow.
 Piaget continued to study the natural sciences and received his Ph.D. in zoology from the
University of Neuchâtel in 1918. It was during this time that he published two essays that
provided a foundation for his future thoughts and theories.
“The principal 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, The
Origins of Intelligence in Children, 1953.

6.  Piaget's Influence on Psychology
 Piaget's theories continue to be studied in the areas of psychology, sociology,
education, and genetics. His work contributed to our understanding of the
cognitive development of children. While earlier researchers had often viewed
children simply as smaller versions of adults, Piaget helped demonstrate that
childhood is a unique and important period of human development.
 His work also influenced other notable psychologists including Howard Gardner
and Robert Sternberg. In their 2005 text, The Science of False Memory, authors
C.J. Brainerd and V.F. Reyna wrote of Piaget's influence:
 "In the course of a long and hugely prolific career, he contributed important
scholarly work to fields as diverse as the philosophy of science, linguistics,
education, sociology, and evolutionary biology. Above all, however, he was the
developmental psychologist of the 20th century.
