According to Piaget, cognitive development largely depends on how much active child actively manipulate and interact with their environment, ie how children actively construct pengentahuannya. Knowledge comes from action. according to Piaget's theory of physical experiences and manipulation of the environment is important for the occurrence of changes in development. Meanwhile, that social interaction with peers, especially arguing and discussions helped clarify the thinking that eventually load it becomes more logical thinking. Here are the implications of Piaget's theory of learning:

1. Understand that there is a difference in terms of progressive development invidual. Piaget's theory assumes that all students grow through the same sequence of development, but growth was held at a different speed. Plus I think the child is less logical than adults, then the teacher must understand how children think, not the other way children adapt to the teacher.

2. Education here aims to develop a child's mind, meaning that when the kids try to solve the problem, reasoning that they are more important than the answer. Therefore imperative that teachers do not punish the children for the wrong answer, but instead ask how the child gave a wrong answer, and given the notion of truth or to take appropriate steps to to address.

3. Children learn best by finding (discovery). It means here is that child-centered learning take place effectively, the teacher did not leave the kids learn on their own, but they gave a special assignment that is designed to guide students to discover and solve problems on their own.
