摘要:This article intends to discuss the criterion for the initiatives and the teaching methods that aim to boost school teaching to be more active and show some indication of the students' activity in the construction of knowledge. Piaget's theory, as a theory that shows the main process of construction of knowledge, always points to the subject's action as the basis of this processo The functional aspects of assimilation and accommodation, of reflexive abstraction, of the know-how leaming and comprehension are taken as a reference to discuss the mental action, always establishing counterpoints with the school activities.
