THEORY POPPERIAN LEARNING

In his long career, K. Popper has never ceased to take an interest in educational issues, as witness his early work, developed at the Vienna Pedagogic Institute in the 1920s, as well as numerous analysis dedicated to the problem of learning in his maturity work and later texts. The study of these various writings reveals an original pedagogical theory, equally distant from traditional perspectives and contemporary theories of constructivist inspiration. His main thesis is the essential role of critical interaction of the subject with the universe of established knowledge (the "third world" of the "objective knowledge") in the learning process and training of the mind.
