Abstract
This research involves the study of Piagetian Theory in Online Teacher Education. Piagetian theories were included in an online course in cognition and critical thinking in education as foundational psychological frameworks to apply to educational practice. Participants applied theoretical frameworks in instruction and learning design in the form of lessons and projects. Lessons and projects were analyzed for understanding and application of theory.
