三、篇章結構：20%，每題 2 分。    Jean Piaget was born in Switzerland on August 9, 1896 and began showing an interest inthe natural sciences at a very early age. By age 11, he had already started his career as aresearcher by writing a short paper on an albino sparrow. 21 While his early careerconsisted of working in the natural sciences, it was during the 1920s that he began to movetoward work as a psychologist. He married Valentine Châtenay in 1923 and the couple wenton to have three children. 22    Piaget identified himself as a genetic epistemologist. “What the genetic epistemologyproposes is discovering the roots of the different varieties of knowledge, since its elementaryforms, following to the next levels, including also the scientific knowledge,” he explained inhis book Genetic Epistemology. 23 He was interested not only in the nature of thought,but in how it develops and understanding how genetics impact this process.   His early work with Binet's intelligence tests had led him to conclude that children thinkdifferently than adults. 24 It was this observation that inspired his interest inunderstanding how knowledge grows throughout childhood. He suggested that children sortthe knowledge they acquire through their experiences and interactions into groupings knownas schemas. When new information is acquired, it can either be assimilated into existingschemas or accommodated through revising existing schemas or creating an entirely newcategory of information.    25 He studied the intellectual development of his own three children and created atheory that described the stages that children pass through in the development of intelligenceand formal thought processes.
