The article aims to discuss the use of narrative as a teaching and learning modality from the perspective of an educational psychologist and curriculum and instructional programs specialist, the academic areas of the author for more than forty years. First Piaget’s work, whose lectures the author had the honor of attending at Université de Genève in the early 1970s, particularly his formulation of the development of cognitive schemata related to causality will be briefly presented. Then cultural narratives will be used to illustrate how individual human development and various stages of cultural perceptions of causality may show parallels along the Piagetian developmental perspective. Finally, the last theme will deal with relating the uses of cognitive and cultural schemata to narratives in terms of curricular concerns.
