"What do we do when we make learning? Well we observe, we look, we listen. We touch, taste, smell, manipulate and we sometimes measure or calculate. And then we wonder ..........This process creates learning and we all do it.....
And this is exactly what children do. They are hard at work on this process all their working hours. When they're not actually eating and sleeping, they're creating knowledge. They are observing, thinking, speculating, theorizing, testing and experimenting - all the time - and they're much better at it than we are!"
(Holt 1991)
