'''Jean Piaget''' ([[August 9]], [[1896]] – [[September 16]], [[1980]]) was a Swiss [[psychologist]] known for his work on [[child development]]. Piaget's theory of cognitive development and [[epistemological]] view are together called "'''[[genetic epistemology]]'''".

Piaget placed great importance on the education of children. As the Director of the [[International Bureau of Education]], he declared in 1934 that "only education is capable of saving our societies from possible collapse, whether violent, or gradual." Piaget's views are central to the field of [[developmental psychology]] and continue to be influential and of practical use in fields such as education, sociology, and child development.

== Early life ==
Piaget was born in 1896 in [[Neuchâtel]], in the [[Francophone]] region of Switzerland. He was the oldest son of Arthur Piaget, a professor of medieval literature at the University of Neuchâtel, and Rebecca Jackson. Piaget was a precocious child who developed an interest in biology and the natural world.

== Career ==
Piaget spent many years of his life researching the cognitive development and early learning habits of children. He developed his cognitive theory by actually observing children (some of them his own kids) and not just through the results of psychometric tests. He noted that children not only know less than adults but also think differently.

== Piaget's theory ==
Piaget's theory of cognitive development is a comprehensive theory about the nature and development of human intelligence. It was first created by the Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget (1896–1980). The theory deals with the nature of knowledge itself and how humans gradually come to acquire, construct, and use it.

== Legacy ==
Piaget's ideas have maintained a strong influence in the world of education throughout the 20th and into the 21st century. His work has been the basis for educational approaches that emphasize hands-on, experiential learning and the importance of understanding students' developmental stages.
