Title
Sustaining Model Systems of Educational Activity: Designing for the Long Haul
Abstract/Description
Once upon a time, in a far away ivory tower by the East River, my colleagues and I were engaged in what, at the time, was considered a peculiar enterprise. We had come to distrust the power of experimental psychology, as we had learned it at our mentors’ elbows, for illuminating important aspects of cognitive development in a manner that could be validly generalized beyond their artificially produced conditions of existence. This distrust had arisen from our experience conducting research in markedly different societies, especially societies whose cultures did not include heavy dependence on modern technologies of transportation, communication, and industrial production, regular practice in the arts of reading and writing, or experience in such institutions as formal schooling or government bureaucracies.
