摘要: Constructivist learning theories have become the dominant ideology in educational circles, part, because there is a primacy on agential individual with its definite identity. However, precisely “to construct” transitive verb, it occludes fact that and development, we come to know something new, is, unknown before therefore could not be anticipated. The related concepts of surprise, astonishment, admiration refer phenomena through which person acknowledges encounter absolutely alien, unanticipated; having been affected before, an experience transcends agency manifests passivity comes unknown.
