A Case of Interpretations of "Social": A Response to Steffe and Thompson.
Lerman, Stephen
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v31 n2 p210-27 Mar 2000
Suggests that radical constructivists draw on a weak image of the role of social life. Argues that a thick notion of "social" leads to a complexity of sociocultural theories concerning the teaching and learning of mathematics, a perspective that is firmly located in the debates surrounding cultural theory over the last two decades.
