“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreativebody in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.” MenSaidRealCountryBodyHateCoursesEvilSexConsciousnessMoralPsychologyMoralityActivityInstinctRewardsAppearanceIntuitionRighteousClueBourgeoisSuppressionInstinct Intuition Book:Delphi Complete Works of D.H.

“In the dog two conditions were found to produce pathological disturbances by functional interference, namely, an unusually acute clashing of the excitatory and inhibitory processes, and the influence of strong and extraordinary stimuli. In man precisely similar conditions constitute the usual causes of nervous and psychic disturbances. Different conditions productive of extreme excitation, such as intense grief or bitter insults, often lead, when the natural reactions are inhibited by the necessary restraint, to profound and prolonged loss of balance in nervous and psychic activity.” MenTwoDifferentScienceFoundStrongCausesProcessNaturalLossGriefPsychologyInfluenceConditionsDogProduceBalanceActivityProfoundExtraordinaryExtremesExperimentsReactionsIntenseBitterNervousInsultProductiveUsualRestraintPsychicsStimulusInterferenceDisturbance Author:Ivan Pavlov

“The word constructionism is a mnemonic for two aspects of the theory of science education underlying this project. From constructivist theories of psychology we take a view of learning as a reconstruction rather than as a transmission of knowledge. Then we extend the idea of manipulative materials to the idea that learning is most effective when part of an activity the learner experiences as constructing a meaningful product.” TwoIdeasViewsPsychologyMaterialsProductsTheoryActivityProjectsAspectMeaningfulReconstructionLearnersTransmissionManipulativeScience Education Author:Seymour Papert
