Take a constructive approach
Facilitate rather than direct learning
Emphasize that children learn best when
they are active and find solutions for
themselves
Opposed teaching methods that treat
children as passive learners.
Implication of Piaget’s view 
Students learnt best by
 making discoveries,
 reflect back on them,
 discuss with them.
Consider the child’s knowledge and level of
thinking
Students have many ideas about the
physical and natural world
Their thingking is differ from adults
Teacher needs to interpret what their
students say and give a respond from the
student’s level
Examine children’s mistakes in thinking to
guide them to achieve a better
understanding.
Use ongoing assesment
Continuous assessment to
 Discuss their thinking strategies
 students’ written and verbal
explanations of reasoning (to
evaluate their progress)
Piaget and
Education
Promote the student’s intellectual health
For piaget children’s learning occur
naturally
Not push and give pressure to the
children to achieve something beyond
their level or capabilities .
Effective teacher design situation that allow
students to learn by doing to promote student’s
thinking and discovery
Characteristics of effective teacher
 Observe students
 Find out how they think
 Create relavant questions to stimulate their
thinking
 Ask them to explain the answer
Turning a classrom into a setting of exploration and
discovery
The teacher emphasize student’s own
exploration and discovery.
Organize a classroom which is less
structured
Teacher observe students interest and
natural participation in activities
Use games to stimulate their thinking
Encourage pees interaction during the
lessons or activities because children has
different views, so it can contribute to
advance in thinking
