- Social Vygotsky:
constructivism - Children are curious explorers
- But important ‘discoveries’ occur in context of collaborative dialogues

- Testimony means assertions made by other people
- Learn about history or religion
- Clarify the importance of testimony and how it facilitates learning
- Learning from Testimony: information communicated by others via assertions (in contrast to
others information we gain by sense experience)
We rely on the testimony of others all the time:
For general knowledge (science, history, politics)
- For specific information (train times, weather outlook)
- For cultural norms & rules (keep clothes on in public)
- For personal information (our date of birth)
- This is particularly true for children..
E.g. for learning the basics:
- Who & What to approach/avoid
- What things are called
- What things are for
- How to categorise correctly
- Formal: Explicit teaching
- Informal: Everyday dialogue with adults, siblings and peers, asking
questions, imitation, overhearing
- Indirectly: Through books, TV and the internet
- Learning from But:
others - Testimony is not always reliable!
continued - Some sources are more credible than others..
