The Piagetian Theory in the Psychopedagogical Context: meanings and up-dates after 40 years

Abstract

The text presents reflections on the contributions of genetic epistemology and psychology to the theoretical and practical fields of psychopedagogy. Essential theoretical issues of piagetian work are addressed, such as learning, stages and mechanisms of development in its correspondence with the psychopedagogue's practice, highlighting the operative tests and rules games. It is intended to highlight the richness and timeliness of the swiss master's work, 40 years after his death.
