Post number 7. AN EXPERT ON MY FIELD

An expert I really admire is Jean Piaget (French:9 August 1896 – 16 September 1980). He was a Swiss clinical psychologist known for his pioneering work in child development.

He is famous because he placed great importance on the education of children. As the Director of the International Bureau of Education, he declared in 1934 that "only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual."His theory of child development is studied in pre-service education programs. Educators continue to incorporate constructivist-based strategies.

Piaget created the International Center for Genetic Epistemology in Geneva in 1955 while on the faculty of the University of Geneva and directed the Center until his death in 1980. The number of collaborations that its founding made possible, and their impact, ultimately led to the Center being referred to in the scholarly literature as "Piaget's factory".


His most important contribution is that he was "the great pioneer of the constructivist theory of knowing" and for this reason i like his. Also i have always been interested in the psychology and he is a psychologist. I admire him for his great contribution to knowledge.
