Constructionism brings creativity, tinkering, exploring, building, and presentation to the forefront of the learning process. - Jonan Donaldson
"The Maker Movement and the Rebirth of Constructionism" é um artigo incontornável para quem acredita numa relação profunda entre criatividade e aprendizagem. É igualmente uma excelente leitura para quem aguarda há algum tempo pelo reconhecimento da enorme importância do 'Construcionismo', teoria desenvolvida por Seymour Papert, para o sucesso da aprendizagem no século XXI.
Constructionism is based on two types of construction. First, it asserts that learning is an active process, in which people actively construct knowledge from their experience in the world. People don’t get ideas; they make them. This aspect of construction comes from the constructivist theory of knowledge development by Jean Piaget. To Piaget’s concept, Papert added another type of construction, arguing that people construct new knowledge with particular effectiveness when they are engaged in constructing personally meaningful products. - Kafai, Peppler, e Chapman (2009), citados por Jonan Donaldson
