The Use of Piagetian Theory in the Development of Middle School Curriculum.

Sproatt, Rod H.

Contemporary Education, v52 n3 p166-67 Spr 1981

The middle school originated out of an understanding for the need of a learning environment geared specifically to the needs of the early adolescent. The transition from concrete to formal operational thought and the affective and psychomotor developmental stages demonstrate the uniqueness of the early adolescent experience. (JN)
