Piaget, Plowden and Primary Education.
Cox, Maureen; Coulson, Alan
Education 3-13, v7 n1 p43-48 Spr 1979
The Plowden Report drew heavily on Piaget's theories of cognitive development, especially his concepts of activity and discovery learning and readiness. But Piaget's theory is not a pedagogical one and it has little to say about teaching content and methods. Recently, criticism of his theory has grown. (Author/SJL)
