It has had great influence in science education. The papers in this collection represent, arguably, the most sustained examination of the theoretical and philosophical foundations of constructivism yet published. \u003cbr\u003e Topics covered include: orthodox epistemology and the philosophical traditions of constructivism; the relationship of epistemology to learning theory; the connection between philosophy and pedagogy in constructivist practice; the difference between radical and social constructivism, and an appraisal of their epistemology; the strengths and weaknesses of the Strong Programme in the sociology of science and implications for science education. The book contains an extensive bibliography. \u003cbr\u003e Contributors include philosophers of science, philosophers of education, science educators, and cognitive scientists. The book is noteworthy for bringing this diverse range of disciplines together in the examination of a central educational topic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0792350332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780792350330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.96h x 7.20w x 0.76d","brand":"Michael Matthews","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422668964095,"sku":"9780792350330","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2aef877b-7c4c-45b5-bb1d-73bc3caa1e73.jpg?v=1761527895","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constructivism-in-science-education-michael-matthews-9780792350330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
