Answer:

passively soaks up information about the world.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jean Piaget was the most influential name in the field of education during the second half of the 20th century, to the point of almost becoming synonymous with pedagogy. There is, however, no Piaget method, as he himself liked to point out. He never acted as a pedagogue. First of all, Piaget was a biologist and dedicated his life to subjecting to rigorous scientific observation the process of knowledge acquisition by the human being, particularly the child.

Piaget's findings had a major impact on pedagogy, but to some extent demonstrated that the transmission of knowledge is a limited possibility. On the one hand, Piaget claimed that the child passively absorbs information about the world around him, little by little; On the other hand, he stated that a child cannot be made to learn what he cannot yet absorb, because even if he is able, the child will not be interested in content that is lacking in cognitive terms.
