Jean Piaget


Born: 9 August, 1896
Died: 16 September, 1980

The most important contribution of Piaget's work was to alert educators to the child's active role in their learning and the importance of mental activity.  He showed how children actively attempt to make sense of their world and construct their own understandings.  His work had a great emphasis on primary education and is the basis for many of the principles of discovery learning.
