Knowledge under Construction is the first to examine young children's spatial and scientific thinking through their architectural constructions with Legos and blocks. The authors' coding system allows teachers and parents to observe and record children's cognitive behaviors related to spatial thinking. In challenging Piaget's thesis, the authors illuminate our conceptions of children's emergent knowledge of space and scientific inquiry, and provide new insight into alternative ways to measure cognitive abilities in children based through block play.

Through conversations in honor of Dale D. Johnson, this booktakes a critical view of the monoculture in curriculum and policy that has developed in education with the increase of federal funding and privatization of services for public education, and examines the shift from public interest and control to private and corporate shareholder hegemony. Most states educational responsibilities assessment of constituents, curriculum development, and instructional protocols are increasingly being outsourced to private enterprises in an effort to reduce state budgets. These enterprises...

Spatial Intelligence examines public and professional conceptions of the relationships between thinking about spatial attributes and active engagement in spatially-related constructions and designs. Even though children s and adolescents spatial propensities in constructive activities parallel the skills needed by professionals in both established and emerging fields, spatial education is often missing from K-12 curricula and is easily impeded by teachers, parents, or other individuals who do not provide contexts in formalized settings, such as schools, to nurture its potential....
