Piaget's Developmental Theory: An Overview

The work of Jean Piaget has become the foundation of current developmental psychology and the basis for changes in educational practice. David Elkind, author of The Harried Child and Miseducation and a student of Jean Piaget, explores the roots of Piaget's work and outlines important vocabulary and concepts that structure much of the study of child development.

Using both archival footage of Dr. Piaget and newly shot footage of Dr. Elkind conducting interviews with children of varying ages, this video presents an overview of Piaget's developmental theory, its scope and content. The video can serve either as an introduction to Piaget's work or as a review of it.
