Jean Piaget's Cognitive Development Theory - Assignment Example

Being new to this course, I do not have extensive knowledge of educational theorists. However, from the little I know, educational theorists are people who were able to offer teachers a platform to better understand their students and how to help them achieve academically. I also do know that there are several theorists but the one I am more familiar with is Jean Piaget who introduced the cognitive development theory. I do not have good knowledge about the others but I do know that their theories have also helped shape the current learning system.

I also know that a teacher is a very important person in a student’s life and the manner in which they organize their class session has a big impact on a student’s achievement ability. As stated earlier, I know more about Jean Piaget and little about the other theorists. Therefore, I would like to learn more about these theorists and their contributions to education. I would also like to know what motivated these theorists and why they came up with the various theories.
