Constructivism, Socioculturalism, and Popper's World 3.
Bereiter, Carl
Educational Researcher, v23 n7 p21-23 Oct 1994
Examines the concept of learning from both constructivist and sociocultural perspectives and introduces a third perspective based on K. R. Popper's philosophy of science. It is argued that constructivism cannot adequately account for the immaterial objects that Popper located in his World 3--abstract mathematical and scientific objects. (GLR)
