The Rise and Fall of Constructivism

Abstract: OF NEW IDEASWhen an idea, in any field of knowledge, is new and very fruitful it displays two interconnected and powerful features. First, it makes possible the linking of related incidents, perspectives, or disciplines, which may not previously have been thought to be connected at all. Because of this, it is able to focus attention on them in quite a new way. Soon unexpected branches of philosophy, and new research methodologies, are also brought in to illuminate the new field. It is all very exciting and sti… Show more

“…Approaches based on variations of the educational psychology of 'constructivism' (e.g. personal constructivism, social constructivism, situated learning, activity theory) are currently believed by many to address these issues (Glaserfeld, 1989;Kelly, 1955;Vygotsky, 1978), albeit with reservations by some (Matthews, 1995;Osborne, 1996;Solomon, 1994). Yet this throws up a series of issues: how can such techniques be implemented effectively when classes remain very large, very diverse in prior attainment and in future intentions?…”

“…Suele ser frecuente en la literatura del ámbito declarar como fundamento determinadas propuestas didácticas que carecen de contexto teórico, por lo que cabe cuestionarse cuál es el apoyo real (Sanmartí y Azcárate, 1997). Además, las citas que parecen fundamentar un determinado trabajo no tienen después incidencia en el desarrollo del mismo, lo que hace pensar que las referencias a ciertas obras, etiquetas o autores de prestigio se hace más bien para alinearse en un marco de investigación con cierta entidad (Duschl, 1994;Solomon, 1994; Jiménez-Aleixandre y García-Rodeja, 1997).…”

“…Lo usual es encontrar trabajos sin fundamentación teórica pero sí muestran cierto grado de compromiso o coherencia con los contenidos que se publican en DC aproximadamente en un 70% de las publicaciones (Marín y Soto, 2010). Observando las referencias cruzadas de los trabajos publicados y el núcleo de autores más citado, es posible delimitar una comunidad inscrita a la DC, no tanto por la existencia de un núcleo teórico firme (Osborne, 1996) como por una "convergencia de principios explicativos sobre la práctica docente" que aporta un lenguaje específico y consensuado (Solomon, 1994). Principios que parten de supuestos "nada excepcionales y poco exigentes" (Millar, 1989;Solomon, 1994;Duschl, 1994) ligados a los problemas de la clase de ciencias.…”
