Constructivism


Who is the Philosopher?
Giambattista Vico said that humans can only understand what they have themselves construct.
Heins said knowledge is not “out there” but knowledge is what we construct for ourselves as we learn.
Piaget,1973: 
“to understand is to discover, or reconstruct by rediscovery, and such of conditions must be complied with if in the future individuals are to be formed who are capable of production and creativity and not simply repetition”

We were talking about 2 movies that we watched that actually not related each other. :D But it’s useful for me especially because in those movies there are a lot of tips to maximize our brain ability to memorize things and give me some facts about schools.

We also talking about Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner. >>>

Memory


Our (most people brain) brain is amazing yet it has limitation.

I read in Encarta 2006, about memory and I found this:
"Memory and learning are closely related, and the terms often describe roughly the same processes. The term learning is often used to refer to processes involved in the initial acquisition or encoding of information, whereas the term memory more often refers to later storage and retrieval of information. However, this distinction is not hard and fast. After all, information is learned only when it can be retrieved later, and retrieval cannot occur unless information was learned. Thus, psychologists often refer to the learning/memory process as a means of incorporating all facets of encoding, storage, and retrieval."
