Editorial Comments: As we read

Abstract

Piaget's work, although now widely available in the English language, is not very well-known among classroom teachers. Among those who read him, there is sometimes a patronizing attitude characterized by, “So what! That's a collection of interesting accounts of how individual foreign children behave.” Coxford's article recounts an attempt to replicate some of Piaget's findings through the use of groups of children and statistical models and controls.
