Constructivist Approaches in Educational Research
Magoon, A. Jon
Review of Educational Research, 47, 4, 651-93, F 77
The rationale for a constructivist approach to behavioral and social science research, and studies which have applied this methodology, are reviewed. The author suggests that ethnographic techniques of explaining behavior patterns may be as valuable as or more appropriate than traditional behavioral science methods. (GDC)
