Constructivist ideation

Ideation, in the context of learning, can be seen as a form of Constructionism where learning happens most effectively when people are active in making tangible objects. In this way, we don't "acquire" ideas but "construct" ideas through exploring, testing and playing around with materials in the real world. In manipulating materials, then, ideas are given physical shapes and forms (2D/3D). Moreover, when using everyday items and found objects, the manipulation becomes acts of improvisation utilising techniques and processes such as assemblage, bricolage, or collage. Or, if you like, ABC of material ideation. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7orx128gkljfdzl/BEN_DRAFT02.mp4
