This international and interdisciplinary collection of chapters
presents and discusses the many issues and educational 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.
The essays call for new reflection on the questions that are
central to the project of education and that, in particular,
involve the validity of knowledge and types of knowledge, the
compartmentalization of school subjects, the mediating role of
teachers, and, above all, the ends of education. In so doing, this
book relaunches the discussion on constructivism's potential for
the social empowerment of groups and individuals.
