Contra Garrisonian Social Constructivism.
Davson-Galle, Peter
Science and Education, v9 n6 p611-14 Nov 2000
Responds to Jim Garrison's 1997 paper in this journal on Deweyan social constructivism. Argues that key elements of Garrison's complaints are misguided and that his preferred Deweyan social constructivism is a theoretical framework without apparent superiority and with enough flaws that it is at best eschewed by science educators.
