The Primacy of Cognition--or of Perception? A Phenomenological Critique of the Theoretical Bases of Science Education.
Dahlin, Bo
Science and Education, v10 n5 p453-75 Sep 2001
Critiques a particular trend in educational research and practice, "cognitivism", which is a result of the reception by education of epistemological theories that have an objective alien to that of education, which is the all-round development of human personality. Suggests that present mainstream theories of science education be complemented with phenomenological perspectives. (Contains 58 references.) (Author/ASK)
