- Jerome S. Bruner, had just turned 99 less than a week before this video was filmed He was born Oct. 1, 1915, New York, N.Y., He is an American psychologist and educator whose work on perception, learning, memory, and other aspects of cognition in young children has, along with the related work of Jean Piaget, influenced the American educational system.Bruner’s father, a watch manufacturer, died when Bruner was 12 years old. Bruner studied at Duke University in Durham, N.C. (B.A., 1937), and then at Harvard University, where he received a doctorate in psychology in 1941. After serving as an expert on psychological warfare for the U.S. Army in France during World War II, Bruner returned to Harvard in 1945, becoming professor of psychology there (1952). From 1960 to 1972 he also directed the university’s Center for Cognitive Studies. He left Harvard to become professor of experimental psychology at the University of Oxford (1972-80). He then became concurrently a professor at the New School for Social Research, New York City, and a fellow at the New York Institute for the Humanities, New York University.
Bruner’s studies helped to introduce Piaget’s concept of developmental stages of cognition into the classroom. His much-translated book The Process of Education (1960) was a powerful stimulus to the curriculum-reform movement of the period. In it he argued that any subject can be taught to any child at any stage of development, if it is presented in the proper manner. According to Bruner, all children have natural curiosity and a desire to become competent at various learning tasks; when a task as presented to them is too difficult, however, they become bored. A teacher must, therefore, present schoolwork at a level so as to challenge the child’s current developmental stage. Bruner also studied perception in children, concluding that children’s individual values significantly affect their perceptions.
Bruner published extensively. Major works include Mandate from the People (1944), A Study of Thinking (1956, with Jacqueline J. Goodnow and George A. Austin), On Knowing: Essays for the Left Hand (1962), Toward a Theory of Instruction (1966), Processes of Cognitive Growth: Infancy (1968), The Relevance of Education (1971), Communication as Language (1982), Child’s Talk (1983), Actual Minds, Possible Worlds (1986), Acts of Meaning (1990), The Culture of Education (1996), Minding the Law (2000), and Making Stories: Law, Literature, Life (2003).

He is the one who introduced Vygotsky to the Western World. And he is the one who emphasize the importance of storytelling. One of my favorite intellectual heroes.
how? Bruner was born in 1915 and Vygostsky was already 19 years old.
Actually, he was influenced by Vygotsky and continued his work
Wow this is new to me thanks for sharing
Teach to the future, open learner's minds to the possible and to going beyond the information given...I always appreciated that he focused on 'play'! Great to get this gem of a statement!
Bruner is the biggest contributor in psychology, his theory resonates with me deeply. Hopefully starting this century onward we can transform education and continue his legacy.
RIP Mr. Bruner (1915-2016)....

I agree, when you are teaching someone something, you are sharing your ideas with that person. Also when you think of teaching, it is a both ways learning. You can learn as much from a person as you can teach them. How he or she thinks will affect your ways of teaching in the future.
Here’s a bullet-point summary:
- Teaching's main goal: Open up possibilities for the future.
- Encourage: Speculation beyond current knowledge.
- Risky but essential: Focus on future possibilities over just factual knowledge.
- Education: Should push beyond storing facts, fostering active engagement.
- Culture: Balances individual identity with collective experiences.
-> Overall aim: Enable meaningful conversations and broaden perspectives.
What a charming and vibrant young man
wise words .....educating to reveal the possibilities.... infinite
Jerome Bruner: La principal cosa de enseñar es abrir horizontes de posibilidades. Enseñar es acerca de Posibilidades. Eso choca en un mundo que da primacía a los hechos hoy. El horizonte ha de abrirse a Pasado y futuro y no limitarse al lugar y modo actual. Aprender cómo conversar con otros y dialogar de tal modo que en el diálogo se abra el mundo. El modo privilegiado de las escuelas es el de depositar el conocimiento ya dado como si ahí existiera separado de nosotros dentro de la cabeza del niño o estudiante como si este fuera un pasivo receptor, un disco en blanco que grabar.
Y no se deja al estudiante un papel a activo. Cultura es un modo de conocer desde unos lentes desde los que se ve la vida.
Honestly this interview made me realise, how what actually a man says ican be entirely different from what others say after readong him. No amount of lecturing on Bruner's theroy gave me this clear insight on his ideology
Could you please turn on captions? Even the auto-generated ones would help a lot of people. 🙏
RIP master Bruner
Okay, my teacher made me watch this video but I cannot understand him. Now I'm feeling exhausted. Please turn on the subtitle please please please.
Add captions next time please
"For our present purpose it is sufficient to say that the inferential process involves the formation of a habit…For every habit has, or is, a general law.
Whatever is truly general refers to the indefinite future;…It is a potentiality; and its mode of being is esse in futuro. The future is potential not actual…
The value of a symbol is that it serves to make thought and conduct rational and enables us to predict the future…The being of a symbol consists in the real fact that something will be experienced if certain conditions be satisfied…"
~ Peirce
