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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-02-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792349242\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792349242\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-5032-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 234\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358652035212,"sku":"9780792349242","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792349242_fecd4b3b-bb0a-475a-a4c1-f74fabaef437.jpg?v=1755111276","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792349242","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
