Presentation title: Schemes, Schema, Education, Mental Rotations and other nonsense: a case for more joined up thinking
Abstract:
The seminar will provide an opportunity to identify and explore the implications of Piaget’s distinction between and scheme and a schema, a distinction that was been lost in translation, and frustrated attempts to introduce more ecological, embodied, and extended cognitive perspectives.
