- Title
PIAGETIAN THEORY INTO INQUIRY ACTION.
- Authors
Buell, Robert R.
- Abstract
The article focuses on science teaching and the teaching of the essential mathematics for science in the United States and Great Britain. In studying the gap between theory and practice in the curriculum of mathematics and science, a thinker identified that revisions in curriculums are reforms which have nothing to do with the psychology of learning. Related to this concern, the contention of Piaget on cognitive development is considered. He identified five stages of cognitive development. These are sensori-motor actions upon things, contemplation about things, pre-operational actions upon things, concrete operations with things, and intuitive operations with things.
