By Jean Piaget. Translated by Derek Coltman. New York: Orion Press, 1970. 186 pp.
STRUCTURALISM. By Jean Piaget. Translated and edited by Chaninah Maschler. New York: Basic Books, Inc., 1970. 153 pp.
These two short volumes can be categorized as applied genetic epistemology. In Science of Education and the Psychology of the Child, Piaget reports upon the changes that have taken place in education since his publication in 1935 (herein reprinted) of a plea for a shift to more active methods of learning. What he reports recalls the initial attention of the medical profession to Freud's monumental discoveries. Piaget's findings have not evoked the hue and cry that Freud's early data elicited; educators have been slow to recognize their significance.
