Description	At the turn of the century, Dewey (1910) advocated progressive education-education designed to link purpose and structure. To this end, he advocated such projects as designing a clubhouse, as well as other activities that placed students in the role of developing rather than receiving knowledge. Unfortunately, schools rarely have adopted this philosophy, in part because the metaphor of learning in schools is often one of knowledge transmission rather than of knowledge construction (Perkins, 1986), and in part because the construction of physical artifacts is limited both materially and intellectually. Having built one clubhouse, how easy is it to revise, elaborate, or extend it to other constructions? Instead of designing clubhouses and other physical artifacts, Perkins suggests that teachers and learners design knowledge. The design approach is best understood by example: instead of telling students about a topic like “animals of the prairie,” 228students design an animal that could live on the prairie, justify their design, and critically compare their designs to those of nature.
