Learning sciences researchers are uni?ed by their deep commitment to radically transform learning – away from the transmission and acquisition style associated with lectures and quizzes, to a more active, participatory learning style. Perhaps the ?rst scholar to realize that computers provided schools with an opportunity to do so was Seymour Papert, who created the nowfamous Logo programming language. Papert, who received two doctorates in mathematics, expanded his career by studying cognitive development with Jean Piaget, the founder of constructivism – one of the theoretical foundations of today’s learning sciences. After leaving Piaget’s lab in Switzerland, Papert took a faculty position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he cofounded the Arti?cial Intelligence Laboratory with Marvin Minsky. In the 1970s, Papert began to expand the psychological insights of Piaget’s constructivism into pedagogical principles, providing a template that later in?uenced many learning sciences researchers.
