Jerome S. Bruner: manifesto for the future of education / Jerome S. Bruner: manifiesto por el futuro de la educación

Abstract

Jerome (Jerry) S. Bruner’s death at the age of 100 left a huge human and intellectual void, especially for those who had been in regular contact with him. Jerry has been an inspiration, not only due to his enormous intellect but also to his vitality and warm mentoring of so many people. This article aims to continue to honour the richness of his work, but also to cultivate possibilities for the new generations. Based on a personal elaboration of Bruner’s ideas, this article is a manifesto for the future of education that cannot be but a manifesto of cultural psychology of education. Here it has been summarized in five main stances.
