Jean Piaget is widely acclaimed as a developmental theorist who has contributed much to the understanding of how children learn.

This comparison between Piaget’s theory and Christ’s parabolic method suggests that an effective teacher would cognitively activate and disequilibrate the learner. Insights from Scripture and Piaget’s theory imply that motivation through disequilibration should be effective …
