Before Western Educational<br />
Philosophy Met Vygotsky…<br />
Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who greatly<br />
impacted how educators understand cognitive<br />
development. His theories, while acknowledging the role of<br />
social interaction, do not place significant emphasis on<br />
culture.<br />
Vygotsky and Piaget were born the same year, 1896, but<br />
the work of Piaget was well known in the West long before<br />
Vygotsky’s s work became widely known.
