    1. Swiss
      1. worked: 1920 - 1980
        1. philosopher: genetic epistemology, constructivism
          1. psychologist: contemporary topics
          2. methods
            1. observation of children in nurseries
              1. Q & A: analysing answers & the reasoning for them
                1. dialogue
                2. tasks & puzzles: children solving puzzles, analysing their reasons for solutions they give
                3. 4 key concepts

                  Anmerkungen:

                  • e.g.  equilibrium: familiar with birds - thinks all flying objects are birdsassimiliation: sees an airplane and calls it a birddisequilibrium: notices that places don't have feathers or flat their wingsaccommodation: concludes that places are not birds, but placesorganisation
                  1. 1. SCHEMA
                    1. = knowledge organised into chunks of similar or related answers
                      1. = concepts, theories, beliefs
                        1. it is a flexible grouping
                          1. change & develop with new experiences
                          2. = cognitive task
                          3. 2. ASSIMILATION
                            1. = inputting new info into existing schemas without changing the organisation of them
                              1. happens constantly
                                1. every time: recognise or learn sth
                                  1. difficult: if can't place an object in a pre-given concept
                                  2. 3. ACCOMMODATION
                                    1. = changning schemas to adapt to new information
                                      1. experiences that challenge one's belief
                                      2. 4. EQUILIBRIUM
                                        1. = sense of order, balance, coherence, stability in the mind
                                          1. = balanced and well-ordered schemas
                                            1. driving force = search for equilibrium
                                              1. disequilibrium = due to new info, leads to search for new state of equilibrium
                                          2. 4 stages
