Summary: Bruner?s "The Culture of Education"
Review: This book is a gift for readers. Maybe not all readers, but those who are genuinely interested in human values and culture. Bruner?s ideas are bright and deep, making us understand that the future of education depends on human beings as agents of their destiny. The importance of every culture?s history and the transmission of experiences is only possible through human interactions. We cannot be naive and think that technology is not an instrument of culture. It is, and we must acknowledge it, otherwise we will be overridden by it. But, education is only possible by means of intersubjective exchanges: they are the key to the development of human beings.

Summary: Practical Bruner
Review: What I enjoyed most about Bruner's practical and insightful collection of essays collected in this book is his wisdom. Bruner's contribution to education, after years researching and engineering much of the Cognitive Revolution in psychology, has to be acknowledged.

Specifically, I enjoyed his emphasis on "intersubjectivity," a term used to described the process of learning using cultural, social stimuli in collusion with internal cognitive processes. Bruner repeatedly stresses the balance needed to sustain the view that individuals learn within their environment as well as through their biological background.

Keep this book in your library; it will be one that you underline and refer to frequently.
