From the World in the Child to the Child in the World: New Perspectives on a Century of Piagetian Legacy

Línea horizontal

  • The Revista de Educación announces a call for papers for a special issue to mark the centenary of the publication of The Child’s Conception of the World (Piaget, 1926), a foundational work for developmental psychology, educational psychology, and the very identity of early childhood education. By placing children’s activity at the center of knowledge construction, Piaget introduced a decisive shift in the understanding of learning processes and meaning-making.

    One hundred years later, his legacy is reflected in new theoretical and methodological frameworks that conceptualize knowledge construction as a relational, distributed process deeply situated in social and material interaction. Contemporary research shows that communication and early learning emerge from the coordination of multiple expressive and perceptual resources in everyday, dynamic contexts. The body, gestures, voice, gaze, rhythms, and the exploration of objects create shared spaces of meaning that sustain early cognition, highlighting how joint action and attention refine children’s capacity to anticipate, understand, and act upon the learning opportunities afforded by their environment.

    On the occasion of this anniversary, the Revista de Educación will devote a special issue to reflecting on these advances and on current debates surrounding the relevance of constructivism, children’s agency, multimodal communication, and the constitutive role of objects and educational environments in knowledge construction in early childhood. The journal invites the research community to submit original articles (theoretical, methodological, or empirical) that contribute to this debate and offer relevant implications for early childhood education and teacher education.
