Education has the function of transmitting to the students the systematized knowledge, thehistorically produced scientific knowledge that will instrumentalize them to act in society in acritical, concrete and conscious way. Over the years, society has undergone several changes, sinceit is dynamic and in constant movement, but the Brazilian educational system has not been able tokeep up with the essential changes in the individual's formal education. In this sense, this articleaims to present the contributions of the Piagetian theory in the educational area, seeking to clarifysome misconceptions about this theory, to train and inform teachers about its use in pedagogicalpractice, since it allows a closer approximation of the school social role. For that, we use, as anepistemological theoretical contribution, authors who discuss the key concepts of Jean Piaget'sconstructivist theory. From these discussions, it is possible to confirm the relevance of Piagetiantheory in the educational area, promoting knowledge and human development in all itspossibilities.
