Bruner's Work

The Process of Education (1960)
   
     This was Bruner's first major publication that contributed to constructivist educational psychology. In it, he touched on four key points:

• There must be a relationship between earlier and later learning
• Nothing should be avoided because it is too difficult
• Intuition is an important tool in the learning process
• Interest in learning is the best incentive for learning

     Those four points laid the basis for much of his later work; the following video describes the implications of some of his findings.
