On learning models

This guy called Seymour Papert. He talks about the models we build.
When we learn we craft our own imaginistic vocabulary/microlanguage/model
for further usage. You think/work you get to know the subject in very
intimate and deep way. That process shapes your thinking. Models. Unique.

The problem he states - when schools, unis try to force you to think
in uncomfortable way to your own. Here solve this - but not this way.
Piaget - the biggest guy in learning theories stated the term called
'Zone of close proximity'. In layman terms in means tree like metaphor.
Learning should be like branching out, connecting the subjects in between.

One idea from Papert I like is that motivation is important. He talks about 
gatekeeping in science. You want to build rockets? Get tons of books instead.
Calculus, physics. Drowning in prequisites. Screw that. Hands on is what matters.
Prototype. See what knowledge needs to be aquired. Explore the knowledge.

Hands on. Everytime. That's how the Papert learnt Calculus. Playing with gears.
In his mind the equations became like concrete gear models. Deeper knowledge.
Abstractions are for the impotents of execution. Buzzwords don't matter.
Layman knowledge gained after deep play do. Always play. Build microworlds.
Explore them. No need to rely on external models. Constructivistic aproach.
