The learning by discovery

One of the most important theories about education and development of the human being are the Jeronime Bruner`s theories. Bruner is a cognitive psychologist and he says that the person was an active subjet in the organitation and the interaction with the reality. Also, he says that the human being`s development can be understood by his culture and his especie`s history, not with the genetics or the chromosomes. He saiys that the development of the thought always is helped by the outside, and for that reason the education and school is so important in the integration of the boy in the society. Because the child is constructing the reality in the interaction with his classmates. It`s very interesting, because the clasroom is like a little society, and the child is an active constructor of the reality that he lives.
