Blog session 5: An expert on your field.

For this week's post I will talk about an expert on my field. But in order to talk about this, I need to tell you about my career. I study psychology, but diverse areas exist as; clinical, labor, juridical, community, educational, etc.

But the interesting for me is an educational psychology. In this area we find big authors who contribute to the discipline as; Albert Bandura, Jerome Bruner, Maria Montessori, Charles Spearman, Edward L. Thorndike, Lev Semiónovich Vygotsky & my favorite Jean Piaget.

Jean Piaget was born on August 9, 1896 in Geneva, was an epistemology, psychologist and Swiss biologist, creator of the genetic epistemology, it is famous for his contributions to the study of the infancy and for his theory constructivist of the development of the intelligence, which for me is surprising due to his findings.

In this this theory centred principally on the infancy and on the evolutionary mechanisms with biological perspectives, in addition it is admired for me, being a daring writer of more than 50 books and 500 articles. His principal works are:

• ·         The birth of the intelligence in the child (1936)
•           The formation of the symbol in the child (1996)
•         The psychology of the intelligence (1947)
•       Memory and intelligence (1968)
•            Psychology and pedagogy (1969)

To conclude, I would like to share with you two of my favorite’s quotes by him

“The infancy is the creative phase for excellence; I always wanted to be a child”.
