Kant's Constructivist Ideas and Their Impact on Education
Kant's transcendental philosophy is considered one of the theoretical foundations of constructivism,viewing the process of cognition as a subjective construction activity and emphasizing the subjectivity of knowledge and its construction based on experience.Thus,while Kant himself was not a constructivist,his ideas undoubtedly lean towards constructivist epistemology and have been widely cited as a theoretical source for constructivism.Kant emphasized the learner's subjective initiative,believing that education should en-courage students to actively explore and understand knowledge,while teachers should play an inspiring and supportive role.His philo-sophical system has profoundly influenced subsequent constructivist scholars such as Ernst von Glasersfeld.Moreover,Kant's construc-tivist ideas have sparked reflection on the essence of education,transcending radical constructivism by highlighting the teachability of knowledge and asserting that the viability of cognition is secured by categories and the regulatory ideas of the universal order of the world.
