Piaget has been a very influential theorist throughout history and his concepts are still relevant today. His theory of equilibrium is very important to education. Everyday students try to assimilate and utilize new information. They wonder how the information can fit into their lives. Information can be more useful if the students can see if it is relevant to their lives. When this takes place equilibrium is formed. Discovery learning is also and pivotal theory that was formulated by Piaget. With this learning theory students are able to explore and discover new concept. With this method of teaching, students can exceed what is expected of them based on their interest in learning. Finally I liked how Piaget structured each level of learning by age. He made sure that students would be able to cover various types of information based on their age and what is suitable for them. He illustrated how children developed mentally.
