Translated to English from the original French by Derek Coltman. A clear understandable translation of this important book by the preeminant author of books on children; Jean Piaget. An important book about a critical subject; education is even more needed today than when originally printed! Still relavent too!
[Back Cover From Penguin, 1977 Edition.]
In this volume, M. Piaget attacks current teaching methods, which he compares to "force-feeding," accusing teachers of using an archaic educational approach and of not being concerned with the mental and emotional development of the child. M. Piaget feels that it is the educational system's concentration upon the science of education rather than on the person who is learning which undermines the child's spiritual and intellectual growth. He presents a forceful and convincing case that is essential reading for anyone concerned with one of the most vital issues of our times.
"... one of the world's foremost child psychologists. Few researchers have so meticulously or provocatively mapped that terra incognita, the mental world of children." — Time
