Jean Piaget's Impact on Cognitive Development and Education

This episode uncovers Jean Piaget's journey from biologist to psychologist and how his theory transformed developmental psychology. We discuss the stages of cognitive development, his concepts of schemas and assimilation, and his lasting influence on education, from classrooms to homeschooling. Critiques and modern applications reveal why Piaget’s work remains central to how we understand and nurture learning today.
