Jean Piaget – Champion of Children’s Ideas "If logic itself is created rather than being inborn, it follows that the first task of education is to form reasoning." - Jean Piaget (1896-1980).
The legacy of Jean Piaget to the world of early childhood education is that he fundamentally altered the view of how a child learns. And a teacher, he believed, was more than a transmitter of knowledge. He/she was also an essential observer and guide to helping children build their own knowledge.
As a university graduate, Swiss-born Piaget got a routine job in Paris standardizing Binet-Simon IQ tests, where the emphasis was on children getting the right answers. Piaget observed that many children of the same ages gave the same kinds of incorrect answers. What could be learned from this?
Piaget interviewed many hundreds of children and concluded that children who are allowed to make mistakes often go on to discover their errors and correct them, or find new solutions. In this process, children build their own way of learning. From children's errors, teachers can obtain insights into the child's view of the world and can tell where guidance is needed. They can provide appropriate materials, ask encouraging questions, and allow the child to construct his own knowledge.
Piaget's continued interactions with young children became part of his life-long research. He explored children's countless "why" questions, such as, "Why is the sun round?" or "Why is grass green?", and concluded that they do not think like adults. Their thought processes have their own distinct order and special logic. Children are not "empty vessels to be filled with knowledge" (as traditional pedagogical theory had it). They are "active builders of knowledge - little scientists who construct their own theories of the world."

Sufixo -ing: as palavras reasoning e learning resultam da adição do -ing aos verbos to reason e to learn, formando unidades com função nominal no texto.
Do ponto de vista morfológico trata‑se de derivação por sufixação: reason + -ing → reasoning; learn + -ing → learning. Esse processo altera a categoria lexical, transformando o verbo em um substantivo (nominalização).
Sintaticamente essas formas atuam como nomes: em the first task of education is to form reasoning reasoning funciona como complemento nominal; em build their own way of learning learning é núcleo do sintagma nominal way of learning. Vale lembrar que -ing também pode formar o particípio presente, mas aqui a leitura adequada é como substantivos.
