PART I

a little background information

Coined by Stephen Downes and George Siemens

a pedagogy in which knowledge is not a destination but an ongoing activity

At its heart, connectivism is the thesis that knowledge is distributed across a network of connections, and therefore that learning consists of the ability to construct and traverse those networks.

Knowledge, therefore, is not acquired, as though it were a thing. It is not transmitted, as though it were some type of communication.

Science and Art of Teaching

Education, for most people, means trying to lead the child to resemble the typical adult of his society ... but for me and no one else, education means making creators... You have to make inventors, innovators—not conformists

- Bringuier, 1980, p. 132

Wikipedia

Vygotsky's main work was in developmental psychology, and he proposed a theory of the development of higher cognitive functions in children that saw the emergence of the reasoning as emerging through practical activity in a social environment. During the earlier period of his career he argued that the development of reasoning was mediated by signs and symbols, and therefore contingent on cultural practices and language as well as on universal cognitive processes.

We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience

- Mind in Society

Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.

Move from critical thinking to creative contribution
