Piaget's theory has an important influence on educational theory and practice. First of all, these theories emphasize the development of considerable education: education that adapts to students' physiological and cognitive abilities and social and emotional needs in environment, curriculum, materials and teaching. In addition, several main methods used in curriculum and teaching are obviously based on Piaget's theory. Burke summarized several important inspirations of Piaget's theory to teaching:

1. Pay attention not only to the results of children's thinking, but also to the process of thinking.

In addition to checking the correctness of the child's answer, teachers should also understand the process of the child getting this answer and provide appropriate learning feelings according to the child's current cognitive function level; Only by understanding the methods used by children to draw specific conclusions can teachers provide children with suitable learning opportunities. 2. Recognize the important role of children's autonomy and actively participate in learning activities.

In the classroom teaching of Piaget's theory, it is not advocated to present ready-made knowledge to students, and the second is to encourage children to discover knowledge independently through spontaneous interaction with the environment. Therefore, teachers provide a large number of various activities instead of lectures, so that children can directly interact with the real world in the activities. 3. Don't emphasize children's adult thinking training.

Piaget called the problem of "how to speed up development" "the problem of Americans". Piaget has visited many countries. He believes that American psychologists and educators seem to be most interested in the question "What technology can be used to accelerate children's development at all stages". The education plan based on Piaget's theory also accepted Piaget's creed: it is better not to teach children than to teach them early; Because it can easily lead to the superficial acceptance of adult rules, but can not achieve real cognitive understanding.

4. Individual differences in the process of adult development. Piaget's theory holds that all children go through different stages in the same development order, but at different speeds. Therefore, teachers must try their best to arrange teaching activities for each child and each group, not the whole class. In addition, because of individual differences, the evaluation of children's learning progress should consider each child's own previous development, rather than according to the performance norms of children of the same age.
