Procedural versus Constructivist Education: A Lesson from History.
Manus, Alice L.
Educational Forum, v60 n4 p312-16 Sum 1996
The procedural versus constructivist debate mirrors the Sophist/Socratic divide of the fifth century B.C. The primary malaise of education today is use of the passive proceduralist approach. Focus on the why rather than the what opens the door to critical thinking and substantive intellectual change. (SK)
