Welcome to the discussion on the ideas of Jean Piaget as part of the ETEC 512 Learning Conference.
We have a variety of videos for you to enjoy. We hope you take the time to find interesting conversation pieces share with the world as well.
Piaget’s ideas that children were not just incapable adults but fundamentally different cognitive beings began his research into how knowledge is built and has shaped modern education. The idea that genetics hard-wired human development into distinct stages where our cognitive processes behave in predictable ways is his most recognized contribution to the education sphere.
We will focus on Piaget’s ideas about schema, assimilation, accommodation and equilibration and how they affect our lives.
This presentation is all about engagement. Each page has either a persistent discussion board or a live Twitter feed. Please feel free to join the discussion from either your desktop or your mobile devices. We are encouraging you to explore the information and discuss your ideas with others.
And finally we hope you enjoy our conference and have a little fun while you are at it!
