Piaget's Theory helps children in beneficial ways by creating a supportive environment for students. This is a key point of Piaget's cognitive theory called scaffolding. Scaffolding is a teaching style that provides support from peers, teachers, and family members. This allows students to be assisted by well-educated adults, or peers, to provide clear direction and reduce student confusion. Another useful technique that Piaget's theory uses in the classroom is group activities. He wanted students to get more involved in hands-on activities, social interactions and explore different scenarios of the learning environment. In the article, Duckworth gives an example of how Piaget wanted children to interact and experience each.
