Where Is the Mind? Knowing and Knowledge in Cobb's Constructivist and Sociocultural Perspectives.
Smith, Erick
Educational Researcher, v24 n7 p23-24 Oct 1995
Discusses Paul Cobb's distinction in learning research between psychological constructivism, the emergent perspective, and sociocultural theory, and examines his argument that it is reasonable to talk about knowing from each of these viewpoints. The author offers a refinement of Cobb's pragmatic approach in accounting for learning. (GR)
