And That's a Fact

Ivie, Stanley D.

Peabody Journal of Education, 53, 4, 285-8, Jul 76

American thought has contained a strong metaphysical bias favoring a realist interpretation of the world, and this has led to the assumption that facts possess ontological status, however, facts are segments of human experience and students must acquire conceptual tools for extracting factual data from experience.
