Radical Constructivism in Action

<p>Over the last twenty-five years Ernst von Glasersfeld has had a tremendous impact on mathematics and science education through his fundamental insights into the nature of knowledge and knowing. <em>Radical Constructivism in Action </em>is a new volume of papers honouring his work by building on his model of knowing. <br>The contributions by leading researchers present constructivism in action tying the authors' actions regarding practical problems of mathematics and science education philosophy and sociology to their philosophical constraints giving meaning to constructivism operationally. The book begins with a retrospective analogy between radical constructivism's emergence and changes in what is thought of as certain scientific knowledge. <br>It aims to increase understanding of constructivism and Glasersfeld's achievement and is vibrant evidence of the continued vitality of research in the constructivism tradition.</p>
