Education is the making of society. Education does not merely 'serve' the public, it 'creates' the public. As practitioners, we need to engage with the questions of why, what and how of education. The repository will feature readings on education from different philosophers of education. Periodically, study circles will be organized based on selected resources. Do access these resources, discuss these in groups in your school or district and share your reflections.

Constructionist learning is when learners construct mental models to understand the world around them. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constructionism_(learning_theory) Constructionism] advocates student-centered, discovery learning where students use information they already know to acquire more knowledge.Seymour Papert developed a learning theory called constructionism which extended the idea of constructivism. In his own words: “Constructionism—the N word as opposed to the V word— shares contructivism’s view of learning as “building knowledge structures”through progressive internalization of actions... It then adds the idea that this happens especially felicitously in a context where the learner is consciously engaged in constructing a public entity, whether it’s a sand castle on the beach or a theory of the universe ( Papert, 1991, p.1).
