Piaget and education: a critique of the unproblematic application of Piaget's theory to education

Jean Piaget’s genetic epistemology has often been applied to education. This research
report looks at the interpretation and use of Piaget’s ideas to education and argues that
most applications of Piaget to education are not in keeping with the nature and object of
his genetic epistemology. As such the report suggests number of ways in which Piaget
could be used in education without undermining the integrity of his theory.
