Leo McElroy: Making Microworlds: A Framework for Making Sense by Making Things
People learn best by making things they care about, which they share with others. The role of an educational technologist is to communicate this principle through tools provided to learners. A primary item in this toolmakers’ toolkit is the microworld, a concept developed by Seymour Papert as a “growing place for a specific species of powerful ideas or intellectual structures.” A microworld presents someone with a small set of ideas in an explorable environment which helps the learner recompose those ideas for their own personal expression. Following the development of a collection of microworlds, we will uncover the meta-structure of the “growing place” for intellectual structures, with the aim of identifying a framework for making tools, for making sense, by making things.
