VASCO, Carlos Eduardo. Piaget's Presence in Colombian Education, 1960-2010. Rev. colomb. educ. [online]. 2011, n.60, pp.15-40. ISSN 0120-3916.

This paper develops a narrative about different ways of Piaget's thinking influence in Colombian educational research. That begins with a series of happenstances among Piaget's biography, the history of Colombian education in the 20th century, and some own anecdotes of the author of this paper. Then he recalls the educational experiences related to the school "Gimnasio Moderno" in Bogotá, works by professors Carlo Federici Casa and Hernando Silva Mojica, and the integrated educational models-IEM, up to proposals of Colombian curricular reform from 1976 to 1994. The last period summarizes debates between Behaviorism and Constructivism educational models. Starting from the main critical criticism to Piaget's theories, the author rediscovers seminal topics of pedagogical theories given during 20th and 21st centuries.

Keywords : Piaget; pedagogical theories; Colombian education; behavioral model; constructivism.
