Cette conversation en langue anglaise se déroulait dans un silence solennel.

This idea of learning through design is on aspect of what Seymour Papert has called the constructionist approach of learning and education. Constructionism involves two types of construction. First, il asserts that learning is an active process, in which people actively construct knowledge from their experiences in the world. (This idea is based on the constructivist theories of Jean Piaget.) To this, constructionism adds the idea that people construct new knowledge with particular effectiveness when they are engaged in constructing products that are personnally meaningful. They might be constructing sand castles, LEGO machines, or computer programs. What’s important is that they are actively engaged in creating something that is meaningful to themselves or to others around them.

Jeanne Landre (Cité par Cario et Régismanset dans La Pensée Française, p. 455, Mercure de France, 1921)
