Ernst von Glasersfeld on teaching and radical constructivism

[@philipborg3972]

Thank you for uploading this video.

He mentions a particular constructivist approach used by one of his students to teach maths. For example working in small groups and presenting what they found out. An aim is to learn how to learn. I'm interested in reading about other hands-on methods that can be used in teaching to encourage this kind of learning and reflective thinking.

I think acceptance, or lack of it, is related to not understanding that just because you are responsible doesn't mean one can construct any world you want, since constructions are limited by constraints and possibilities. -- cheers.

the people who watch this are either, 1) Very intellectual people 2) University students doing a paper 3) Bishop Carroll kids trying their best 4) People who got very lost on the internet at 4 AM

[@cyberjltoo]

Yes, mostly watch by students studying teaching.

The interview occurred in June of 2003. A DVD entitled, "Ernst von Glasersfeld cybernetics, wisdom and radical constructivism." It was produced for the American Society for Cybernetics conference in 2005. I am the producer and director. -- judith lombardi, ph.d. If you would like a copy of the DVD contact me at jlombard.net

excellent explanation, how can i have his talk explaining on notion of schemes and conceptions. please do help

[@hohlwelt]

Thank you for uploading this, Jude. Do you know who that student at Purdue was that he is talking about? The one who so successfully taught arithmetic? Perhaps he published about it, and that might be an interesting read.

[@cyberjltoo]

Sorry can't help you with that. Several papers available. What in particular might you be looking for in a paper? I could possibly help you in that endeavor.

[@laurieanne120]

Could you please tell me the year this video was recorded, as well as the production company/director? This is a very useful video that I need to reference in a university essay

[@cyberjltoo]

Still interested? I can send you a DVD. I am working on a trilogy of video I have constructed over the years of Ernst in 2018.
