A Short Note on Haroutunian's View of Piaget's Biological Conception of Knowledge.

Doll, William E., Jr.

Educational Theory, v31 n2 p189-92 Spr 1981

The author discusses major premises of a paper, by Sophie Haroutunian (Educational Theory, v30 n3), that relates Jean Piaget's conception of knowledge to his biological theory of equilibrium. Doll argues that Piaget's theory of equilibration (striving for control over the environment) is not sufficiently appreciated by Haroutunian. (PP)
