Beyond Constructivism.
Osborne, Jonathan F.
Science Education, v80 n1 p53-82 Jan 1996
Offers a critique of constructivism in science education that is an attempt to define and identify not only the weaknesses, but also the successes of constructivism. Proposes that an alternative of modest realism offers not only a better representation of the practice of science, but additionally some value in determining issues of pedagogy. Contains 100 references. (Author/JRH)
