Both sites reference a Massachusetts neighbor of yours, Robert Kegan, who has been doing work with adult education from a developmental perspective for several years. You might check out his books "The Evolving Self" and "In Over Our Heads." And also check out Ken Wilber's body of work, which is immensely fruitful. http://learning.media.mit.edu/content/publications/EA.Piaget%20_%20Papert.pd f http://www.constructivism123.com/What_Is/What_is_constructivism.htm Kurt -----Original Message----- From: Beryl Rosenthal [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2004 8:38 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: constructivism and adults ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. **************************************************************************** * Hi all - Does anyone know of any articles/studies on constructivism and adult learners as opposed to all the stuff on kids?
