Making changes beliefs
When I started the class of philosophy of education, I didn’t know what important it is to know about it. This importance for me is more for others because there are people that strongly believe in the impact that philosophy of education has in society.

That is because they have different abilities and talents.
The second philosopher is Jean Piaget (1896-1980). The principal beliefs of Piaget were that human beings are combined by intelligence (cognitive domain) and feelings (affective domain). One strongest believed was that children need interaction and spirit to learn. They have to follow a process to develop every stage of intelligence.

Now a day this is important because if we try to skip these stages, we are going to create a great void in their minds.
