Andrea diSessa
Andrea diSessa is an education researcher who was one of the developers of the Logo programming language[1] and coauthored the book Turtle Geometry about Logo. He has also authored highly cited research papers on the epistemology of physics,[2] educational experimentation,[3] and constructivist analysis of knowledge,[4] and the book Changing Minds: Computers, Learning, and Literacy (MIT Press, 2000). He also created the Boxer Programming Environment, with Hal Abelson of MIT.
DiSessa received an A.B. in physics from Princeton University in 1969 and a Ph.D. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1975.[5] He is currently Evelyn Lois Corey Professor of Education at the University of California, Berkeley and has been a member of the National Academy for Education since 1995.[1][5][6]
