How is "mathetics" a word. Surely "pedagogy" is the right term here? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hixie ( talk • contribs) 01:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC) reply

→ Pedagogy is the science of teaching. Mathetics is the science of learning. Khaydock ( talk) 06:42, 9 October 2013 (UTC) reply

"The origin of the word, according to Papert, is not from "mathematics," but from the Greek, mathēmatikos, which means "disposed to learn." --> from the greek "mathetikos" (μαθητικός) (pupil)?
