Riassunto

The first compilation of research and concepts from genetic epistemology that directly addresses issues related to learning, The Learning Theory of Piaget and Inhelder emphasizes Piagets biological model and the importance of regulatory mechanisms, rather than stage theory. Consequently, the impact of feedback from observables in modifying the actions of a person engaged in an activityan idea directly related to traditional learning theoryis a key concept in this book. Furthermore, this text uniquely addresses Barbel Inhelders important contributions to the Genevan School, particularly with respect to her empirical investigations of teaching-learning interactions and student strategizing. The book also summarizes Piagets latest thinking on equilibration as well as the Geneven studies on contradiction, awareness, reflexive abstraction, and correspondence as they relate directly or indirectly to learning of all children, including children with disabilities. Most significantly, this volume incorporates essential aspects of Piagets biological model that were previously available only in untranslated works. Finally, easily accessible speeches on developmental psychology, the theory of stages, problems of equilibration and creativity given by Piaget and Inhelder are included in their entirety. The foreword to the book was written by Piaget and Inhelder.
