The Constructivist Researcher as Teacher and Model Builder.
Cobb, Paul; Steffe, Leslie P.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v14 n2 p83-94 Mar 1983
A methodology for exploring limits and subtleties of children's construction of mathematical concepts and operations is described. It is believed that the failure to observe children's constructive processes firsthand denies a researcher the experimental base so crucial in formulating explanations of processes. Researchers are encouraged to teach extensively and intensively. (Author/MP)
