How are Piaget's theories best applied in the education of children?
What will be an ideal response?
Piaget believed that learning involves activity discovery. Therefore, teachers should not simply try to impose knowledge on the child but should find interesting and stimulating materials. Instruction should be geared to the child's level of development. The teacher should not just lecture but should allow children to be actively engaged in their learning. Teachers should promote groups discussions and interactions among students.
