"Do you think Connectivism or its researchers should actively take part in society?" I think this question is interesting in its own right. Ignatia compares two approaches to social science, Interpretative Social Science and Critical Social Science. In the former, "The purpose of social science is to understand social meaning in context." In the latter, "The purpose of social science is to reveal what is hidden to liberate and empower people." I wouldn't venture to say which of these - if either - is entailed by connectoivism, but speaking for myself, I have always seen myself to be active in society; it is a part of my nature, a part of the way I learn and grow and develop and create. So I find myself learning more toward the tenets of critical social science. Is it, somehow, not 'pure'? It's as pure as anything else.
