MAZZOTTI, Tarso B.. Informática na educação escolar: a busca de uma nova didática magna. Cad. Pesqui. [online]. 1991, n.76, pp.24-30. ISSN 0100-1574.
The article argues that modern Pedagogy assumes that there is one and only one method of knowing, hence only one method for teaching, which is a common conception in western thought, shared by the founder of modern Didactics: Comenio. Today Comenian pressupositions are reinstalled when Pappert presents the computering family of languages, the philosophy-of-education Logo as a means to the effective surpassing of the concrete cognitive stagium into the logic-formal one, as well as when he argues that matetics may be the founding of a new society. It is also argued that Pappert, though relying on generic epistemology, only uses it as a framework rather than as the effective support of his theory.
