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."

About the pronouns found in the text, choose the correct alternative:
- In the excerpt: “They can provide appropriate materials, ask encouraging questions, and allow the child to construct his own knowledge”, “they” is a personal pronoun and refers back to “errors”.
- In the excerpt: “children who are allowed to make mistakes often go on to discover their errors and correct them”, both “their” and “them” are possessive pronouns and refer back to “children”.
- In the excerpts: “[...] he fundamentally altered the view of how a child learns”, “[…] he believed”, and “He/she was also an essential observer […]”, both “he” and “she” are demonstrative pronouns.
- In the excerpts: “What could be learned from this?” and “In this process, children build their own way of learning”, “this” works as a personal pronoun in both cases, with no change in meaning.
- In the excerpt: “If logic itself is created rather than being inborn, it follows that the first task of education is to form reasoning”, “itself” is a reflexive pronoun and refers back to “logic”.

Explicação:
Na frase "If logic itself is created rather than being inborn...", o termo itself funciona como pronome reflexivo que retoma o substantivo logic.
Isso significa que itself estabelece referência ao mesmo elemento sintático já mencionado, reforçando ou precisando que é exatamente a lógica — e não outra capacidade ou conceito — que estaria sendo considerada como criada.
Do ponto de vista morfológico, há concordância entre o antecedente (logic, singular e neutro) e o pronome (itself), e sintaticamente o pronome atua como intensificador dentro do sintagma nominal, acrescentando ênfase ao sujeito.
