Piaget! Piaget! Piaget! What a brilliant theorist! I have tasted the success that an understanding of the cognitive development of learners can bring. Creating a student-centred classroom environment has many benefits and many more teachers need to take the time to allow students to use their various experiences, competencies and thinking to facilitate discovery learning. Teachers must plan properly for their students' needs and give them the opportunity to attain their highest potential. They must vary their strategies, the learning tools, assessment tools and provide an enabling environment for discovery learning.
Moreover, teachers must also assess their lessons and reflect on the strengths and weaknesses. In this way, they can become better teachers/facilitators helping their students to better cope with their individual levels of "assimilation", "accommodation" and "equilibration". I have been changed. I now have a more solid foundation on which to build my teaching career.
