Piaget sayings

Here are some famous quotes by Jean Piaget, a renowned Swiss psychologist known for his work in child development and cognitive psychology:

2. "Intelligence is what you use when you don't know what to do."

3. "The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things."

4. "Every time we teach a child something, we keep him from inventing it himself. On the other hand, that which we allow him to discover for himself will remain with him visibly."

5. "The child is not a miniature adult; the child is an immature being."

6. "The principle of justice is to keep one's word, and the principle of sincerity is to say what one thinks."

7. "The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done."

9. "The principle goal of education is to create men who are capable of doing new things, not simply of repeating what other generations have done."

10. "Children have real understanding only of that which they invent themselves, and each time that we try to teach them too quickly, we keep them from reinventing it themselves."
