<p>Hello there.</p> <p>Just giving a heads up on a good article I've read recently called <a href="http://web.media.mit.edu/~cavallo/cavallo_emergent_design.pdf">Emergent Design and learning environments: Building on indigenous knowledge</a> by David Cavallo.</p> <p>It tells the story of a constructivist project in Thailand, and it is a great read if you want to get a better grip on education as Seymour Papert dreamed it could be. One small quote from the article, about the difference between constructivism (Jean Piaget) and constructivism (Papert):</p> <blockquote>Constructionism builds upon principles in constructivism. While constructivism holds that the learner constructs new knowledge based on the existing knowledge he or she has, constructionism builds on this idea by maintaining that this process happens particularly well when the learner is in the process of constructing something.</blockquote> 2009-05-13T21:12:07Z 47 difference-between-constructivism-and-constructionism 2009-05-15T05:17:31Z 1
