The role of the teacher is to create the conditions for invention
rather than provide ready-made knowledge.
~ Papert
Ready-made knowledge can only be memorized;
knowledge is not truly our own until we are capable of reproducing
the given content in a form of our own making.
Memorizing is but a negative condition; true,
organic assimilation is impossible without
inner transformation of what we learn.
All rules for study are summed up in this one:
learn only in order to create.

(Seymour Papert, an MIT professor, believed that teachers
should create conditions for invention rather than provide ready-made knowledge.
He argued that students should be allowed to learn through
exploration and discovery, rather than being told what to think.
Papert's ideas have been influential
in the development of constructivist learning theory,
which emphasizes the importance of active learning
and the construction of knowledge by the learner.)
