Abstract

Some points of the controversy among the constructivists and critics are analyzed. We claim that the requirements of previous knowledge and self-learning attitudes are both in perfect conciliation with the cultural legacy acting on the learner, and with the needs of training and automatic procedures which can provide space for potentialities of more creative skills.
