The most familiar Constructivists for educators are Piaget and Dewy. These pathfinders have effected education significantly. The Open Classroom, Whole Language, Child Centered Education, Language Experience, Montesori are all examples of philosophies that focus on the child as the significant participant in learning. While Dewy's focus was on the role of education in continuing a Democratic society and Piaget's focus was one from the child's development, these two people's influence have brought education to new common ground. One that changes education's role from creating factory workers to one that allows people to pursue education in a meaningful way which will benefit themselves and society.
Technology is education's vechicle of change for the future.
