I enjoyed learning about Piaget's view on education and learning, so what better way to end this chapter of my Walden University journey than to use quotes from Jean Piaget. I will be taking everything I learned from this course along with me as I continue my way through this exciting field. Everyday in my classroom is a refreshing experience and my time at Walden is enhancing every moment. The deeper I get into this journey the more I am able to assist my colleagues and feel more comfortable leading my class. Piaget encouraged creativity and letting kids take the time to learn on their own and giving children the tools necessary to aid them in finding out who they are and how they learn. That belief is what I pride myself on, helping my class learn how to question everything and to think for themselves without being told how to think and accepting everything for face value.
I've enjoyed this course and appreciate everything I have learned so far at Walden. Wishing everyone the best of luck as they continue on their journey, hope you enjoyed my blog as much as I have enjoyed reading through yours!
The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done; men and women who are creative, inventive and discoverers, who can be critical and verify, and not accept, everything they are offered. All while remaining creative and thirsty for more knowledge.
