All those who grew up with modeling know their educational capacity, there is a formal part, engineering for the most part, when assembling a plane, they learn their parts, their structure, their technology, stick the bucket of a propeller or the intake of a The reactor gives us a lot of implicit information, a child's brain learned that there were different forms of airplanes, different technologies and that these evolve.
But there is another formation, a modeler is able to build, his brain gets used to the idea that things are made up of parts and that they can be united to make a whole (for example, build a Hurricane), and not only that , that the same parts can have different forms, that create a totally different reality, (a Spitfire), this is that the Reality is formed of different parts and that this can be built with them and that everything has an order, the essence of the Constructivist Educational Theories, that's how Mathematics, Languages and Science are made, it was not uncommon for a child who did modeling to be good at Mathematics, his mind was ready to adapt his game into a mental reality.
But it does not end here, the same mechanisms that are used to build, can be used to DECONSTRUE, the fundamental tool of critical and creative thinking, which in a certain way is ironic, who gets used to building using an instruction, is also used to have a different point of view, that the Reality has different decorations, (3 for those who grew with the Revell's Optional Line for Collectors), that all phenomena can be divided into its constituent parts and that the whole can be united in many ways different, that there are optional parts for natural and social phenomena, just what Philosophy or Literature does, modeling is one of the best ways to train the infant brain to understand Reality, it provides ductility to brain plasticity, or in terms of Neuropedagogy: Create privileged routes in the Neural Network, (the INTELLIGENCE).
And what of Art? Well, we are talking about the most difficult of all educations, no Piagetian method has systematically instilled Art in children, but Modelism was Art itself, a small model is a miniature sculpture, and painting is always required, not a few children learned to paint using models.

Reality can have different versions. The Scientific, The Religious, The Artistic, and all that you can think of, modeling adapts the mind to see them all and be able to create a correct idea |
