Constructionism


In this chapter , Kafai comprehensively  have approached constructionism.  She compare constructionism and constructivism. Moreover she give samples about constructivism and told us that could find more examples in Constructionism and Constructionism in Practise by Papert and his group. Seymour Papert received two doctorates in mathematics , made famous Logo programming language. Papert improve a theory at learning teaching and design . Kafai explained the reason for that constructionism don’t  resemble constructivism and describe the historical roots of constructionism. Especially she mention  that Logo included learning about students ‘   own thinking and learning , learning to program, and learning mathematics and science. In constructionism , appropriation ad syntonic learning are important place.  Besides these , she have talked about positive effects and examles of application of microworlds and constructon kits to learn in depth mathematics and science.
I would like to ask following questions :
1-    ) How could we expand using of constructionist learning approach in our country ?
2-    ) I couldn’t understand exactly how children could bring to bear their body knowledge on how to move the screen turtle.  Why the circle is firmly related to children’ sense and knowledge about their own bodies ?
