Don Kiraly. Translation Pedagogy. Translated article.Abstract
This article traces a fractal path through educational psychology and philosophy in an attempt to elucidate an arborescent perspective of complementary inter-disciplinary sources of inspiration for a project-based translation pedagogy. Starting with a socialconstructivist, project-based approach proposed at the turn of the millennium, an attempt is made to paint a broader picture of the synergistic influences underlying an emerging “holistic-experiential” approach to translator education. Post modernism, enactive cognitive science, complexity theory, transformational educational theory and social-constructivist epistemology are some of the complementary roots that can be seen as potential sources of inspiration to nourish a learning-centered approach to developing translator expertise in institutional settings.
