Routledge Neo-Piagetian Theories of Cognitive Development Book

Explore the evolution of cognitive science with Neo-Piagetian Theories of Cognitive Development. This Routledge publication examines how modern theories attempt to build upon the foundation of Piagetian theory while addressing previous limitations. While Piagetian theory once promised to revolutionize teaching methods in science and mathematics, many of its original assumptions faced challenges from empirical evidence. This book investigates the recent emergence of neo-Piagetian models that aim to keep the strengths of the original work while fixing its weaknesses. This text is designed for those interested in the practical applications of cognitive development within education. It provides a deep look into how new theoretical frameworks can help shape teaching strategies and understand the structure of human thought in contemporary learning environments.
