Assignment #4: Information on Topic

-One problem with the original Bärbel Inhelder Wiki article is that there is no box with her picture in it or information stating where she was from or how long she lived for. -Two additional references that could be used are Lindzey, G. (1989). A history of psychology in autobiography Vol. VIII. Stanford University Press. and Gruber, H. E. (1998). Obituary: Bärbel Inhelder (1913–1997). American Psychologist, 53(11). -My question for Dr. Council would be, what if there is very little information out there on Bärbel Inhelder and we cannot enough information on her? My comment for Dr. Council is that I'm excited to learn more about Bärbel Inhelder. I have never heard of her before so I think this assignment will be very interesting. Mvw02 (talk) 23:54, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

• There should be plenty of information. A good place to start is with the two references you list above. J.R. Council (talk) 14:25, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

A second problem with the original Bärbel Inhelder Wiki article is that there isn't any information about her upbringing in Switzerland and how she began studying under Jean Piaget. As a reader of Wikipedia, it would be interesting to know the history of Bärbel.

Two additional resources that could be used for our Wiki page are:

1. Inhelder, Bärbel (1958). The growth of logical thinking from childhood to adolescence; an essay on the construction of formal operational structures
2. A tribute to Bärbel Inhelder: April 15, 1913 - February 16, 1997 from Journal of pplied Developmental Psychology, 1997, Vol. 18(3), pp. 293-294 [Peer Reviewed Journal]

My question for Dr. Council is: What should we do if we feel like the information we are finding about Bärbel Inhelder is overshadowed by information about Jean Piaget?

• Just pull it out. Your article should focus on Inhelder, and link to the Wikipedia article on Piaget. J.R. Council (talk) 14:25, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

My comment for Dr. Council is: This is an exciting assignment to take part in for a class. I feel like most classes have a paper that is due at the end of the semester and that can feel repetitive and boring after a while. I'm glad we are doing something different that will actually impact other individuals. I'm excited to learn more about Bärbel Inhelder. Ktboe1 (talk) 02:41, 26 September 2016 (UTC)at

• Glad you approve! J.R. Council (talk) 14:25, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

A third problem with the original Bärbel Inhelder Wiki article is that it doesn't talk about what she did as a career before working with Jean Piaget. When reading a wiki article it is nice to get a full sense of who the person is and what they did.

Two additional resources that could be used:

1.Human Intelligence: Bärbel Inhelder. 2013. Indiana State University. 2.Inhelder and Piaget's The Growth of Logical Thinking. 1960. Society of Fellows: Harvard University.

My question for Dr. Council is: Should we provide a section of Inhelder's and Piaget's research together?

• Yes - you should definitely talk about her work with Piaget, but focus on her constributions. J.R. Council (talk) 14:25, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

My comment for Dr. Council is: None of the classes I have taken at NDSU assign a project like this and I think it is a great idea.. I am excited to learn more about someone like Inhelder since she is woman in psychology history and I hadn't heard about her before. Eneidavilella (talk) 02:39, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

• I think this is a great project. Glad you agree. J.R. Council (talk) 14:25, 28 September 2016 (UTC)

Bärbel Elisabeth Inhelder (April 15, 1913 – February 17, 1997) was a Swiss psychologist most known for her work under clinical psychologist Jean Piaget and their contributions toward child development. Born in St. Gallen, Switzerland, Inhelder initially showed interest in education. While attending high school she became interested in Sigmund Freud's writing and information on adolescents. In 1932, Inhelder moved to Geneva where she studied at the University of Geneva Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In 1935 she received her bachelor's degree and in 1943 her doctorate degree both in psychology.
Inhelder continued her work at the University of Geneva until her retirement in 1983. During her time at Geneva, she worked alongside Jean Piaget collaborating on experimental work targeted toward child development. Their collaboration began with her dissertation on children's conservation and continued for 50 years. Inhelder's work was significant in the discovery of the formal operational stage of child development occurring during the transition between childhood and adolescence. Among Inhelder and Piaget's work together, the were joint on many publications of their research including The Growth of Logical Thinking from Childhood to Adolescence (1958), The Psychology of the Child (1966), and The Child's Conception of Space (1967). Inhelder's contributions to developmental psychology resulted in her being elected as a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1976.
Barbel Inhelder died in 1997 of natural causes and her work is still used in developmental psychology today. Ktboe1 (talk) 20:08, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Her other contributions to psychology are Conservation 1936, Mental Retardation, Space, Chance, Formal Operations, Memory and Imagery, Microgenesis in the Child and in Cultures, Learning and Development, and Cross-cultural Development (Anastasia T., & Jacques V., 2001). Inhelder's work was more particularly significant in discovering the stage of "formal operations", that occurs in the transition between childhood and adolescence. This type of thinking involves deductive reasoning and the ability to reason hypothetically.

Bärbel Elisabeth Inhelder (April 15, 1913 – February 16, 1997) was a Swiss developmental psychologist, the most famous co-worker of Jean Piaget. She was born in St. Gallen, Switzerland where her initial education focused on becoming a school teacher. In high school she came across the subject of experimental psychology but it didn’t seem to interest her at the time, although she loved Freud’s writings and looked to up to his literature on adolescence. She moved to Geneva in 1932 on a one-year trial where she attended the University of Geneva Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau. She obtained her bachelor's (1935) and doctorate (1943) in psychology.

Nice job! I made one edit on a clumsy sentence. Also, you need to include reference citations to make this lead acceptable for Wikipedia.

Assignment #8: Article

Early Years & Education

Bärbel Inhelder grew up as an only child in Switzerland. Her Swedish-born father was a zoologist and her German-born mother was a writer. At a young age Inhelder was moved around in different private and public schools; her father spent time teaching her history, philosophy, nature, and geography. While attending primary school, Inhelder was exposed to the possibility of becoming a teacher. During middle and high school, Inhelder attended classes devoted to Latin, science, mathematics, and art. When Inhelder was accepted into the University of Geneva, she began studying the history of science, neurology, evolutionary theory, as well as Gestalt psychology. Inhelder also began studying under Jean Piaget and by 1943 while at the University of Geneva where she was later awarded her doctorate degree.

Contributions

While working with Piaget, Inhelder carried out an experiment on children’s perceptions of quantity conservation which led to her first publication. This started her career as a female psychologist under Piaget where she was able to publish her work done thus far. During Inhelder's work with Piaget, collaboratively they published many joint publications including: The Growth of Logical Thinking from Childhood to Adolescence (1958), The Psychology of the Child (1966), and the Child's Conception of Space (1967). Their work together influenced Inhelder's discovery of the "formal operations" stage of development occurring during the transition between childhood and adolescence. Her discovery of this stage as well as her deductive reasoning and ability to think hypothetically resulted her in being elected for a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1976. Much of her work was foreshadowed due to her work with Piaget. As her career advanced during a visiting appointment at Harvard University in (1961-1962), Inhelder was able to break away from the logical-structural approach of Piaget and focus on applying the functional approach to genetic epistemology.

Later Life & Death

As a well-known scientist working under Piaget, Inhelder kept her personal life out of the public eye. According to recent biography about Inhelder's life, there is no information stating she was ever married or had children. Inhelder died in 1997 at the age of 83 due to natural causes. In her legacy she left behind fourteen published books, multiple articles and book chapters, as well as numerous generations of students that she influenced through teaching during her lifespan.

Dr. Council's comments on article

The information is good and complete. However, this still needs some work to be suitable for publication in Wikipedia. My specific comments follow. I am sending the link to Ian so he will probably have more.

1. The main problem with this article is that it is too long. Some of it is written quite informally, and much is not that relevant to Inhelder's notability. Proofread so that it is well written and concise. Focus on notable accomplishments.
2. You have a reference list of your own that was not generated by Wikipedia. There seem to be a number of references that are not cited in the text. Add those in and delete the rest. J.R. Council (talk) 01:48, 2 December 2016 (UTC)
