Discussing the future value of computers as tools for cognitive development, the volume reviews past literature and presents new data from a Piagetian perspective.
Constructivism in the Computer Age includes such topics as: teaching LOGO to children; the computers effects on social development; computer graphics as a new language; and computers as a means of enhancing reflective thinking.
Thirteen papers presented at the Jean Piaget Society symposium (June, 1985) speculate about future computer technology and how new technology will transform the way we construct our reality and the way we think about ourselves as epistemic beings. Acidic paper. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
