Robin and XMCA ers

I think what real learning is related whith the knowledge conception. I
understand the knowledge how the possibility of human being to comprehend
the reality. Thus, there is real learning when the pupil utilize this
knowledge to insert in the social context, transform it, see possibility to
themself - when the pupil get "operar" (I dont find the term in english) the
concepts in the compreenshion of reality.
In this relation - learner x reality x teacher x subjects - the
learner can tranform the concepts, give them peculiar sense. In this
process, I think, the teacher role is to propitiate situations to the pupil
exercices the concepts learned.
I agree with you when you tell what learning occus within human
interatios. There is one Riviere's phrase much interesting: In the
development process, the society presents the problems to children and the
ways to resolve it. What you think?
