Scientific Activities

In addition to its function as a documentary center, the Jean Piaget Archives organize several scientific activities (seminars, congresses or exhibitions).

Jean Piaget

Jean Piaget was born in Neuchâtel on the 9th of August of 1896 into a Protestant bourgeois family with progressive values. His father, Arthur Piaget was a professor, archivist and historian. He was the first rector of the University of Neuchâtel (1909) and director of the State Archives of Neuchâtel for more than thirty years. His mother, Rebecca Jackson, came from a large family of French Protestant industrialists. She was a teacher and a convinced anti-militarist. Jean married a modern woman, Valentine Châtenay, from a family with a philanthropic and socialist tradition. They met at the Jean-Jacques Rousseau Institute in Geneva and they were married in 1923. Jean and Valentine had three children. They documented their observations of their children’s development, laying the foundations for some of the fundamental works of developmental psychology.

Work

“The work” is the term that Piaget uses in front of his collaborators to designate the overall unity of the production of the School of Geneva, expressed in his very numerous publications. From the age of 15, he devoted himself to his “mission”: to develop a biological and non-reductionist theory of knowledge. The bibliography of this work includes nearly 80 books published alone or as a collective work, and more than 500 articles, notes and prefaces covering psychology, epistemology, biology and the human sciences. Because of their capacity for synthesis, many of Piaget’s texts were immediately welcomed by his contemporaries as classics. Articles and books are nowadays translated into nearly thirty languages.

Experiments

From the 1930s onwards, Jean Piaget and his collaborators systematically developed psychological experiments using simple and playful materials. In addition to this, they also developed a flexible technique for examining children, the “clinical method”, in which the researcher adjusts his examination to the responses of the subjects in order to bring out their internal logic. Hundreds of Piagetian examinations have been designed on this model.
