✦ Synopsis

The paper treats childrens learning within different contexts. Children aged 6 to 13 have been interviewed and asked to give their conceptions of such phenomena as Learning, Playing, School, Leisure and Computers. The discussion in the paper is based on a theoretical position of constructivism and some central concepts within this view are used: developmental tasks and conditions for constructive learning.
