Author Description

"This International and interdisciplinary collection of chapters discusses the many educational issues and practices that are touched on by constructivism. Drawing on perspectives from a range of different fields (ethics, mathematics education, philosophy, social psychology, science education, social studies), this book invites us to reposition ourselves in relation to the major currents that have influenced education in this century - namely pragmatism, genetic epistemology, and social interactionism."--BOOK JACKET.
