• Resumen

  • The author reviews two experiments of at least a year's duration, in which he sought to create environments in which education for capability could take place. Each was approached iteratively, with improvements emerging in response to his analyses or the weaknesses and mistakes in the early versions of the experiments.

    These experiences are reviewed in an attempt to identify outcomes and advice which are likely to be of general relevance to those practical teachers in any discipline who have similar aspirations to change their courses, in order to offer education for capability.
