Abstract
In this work, an attempt is made to assess Piaget’s theory and its educational implications. A review of the assess literature reveals a number of arguments against Piagetian approaches in the field of education. It is, however, accepted that Piaget’s theory has many positive effects on educational programmes. The suggestion that Piaget’s theory is “bleakly negative" in education can only provoke Piagetian researchers to investigate and display other workable and much more beneficial aspects of Piaget’s theory for educational practice.
