Although constructivist theories and practice now dominate the fields of the learning sciences  instructional technology  curriculum and teaching  and educational psychology  they have also been the subject of sharp criticism regarding sparse research support and adverse research findings. This volume presents: the evidence for and against constructivism; the challenges from information-processing theorists; and commentaries from leading researchers in areas such as text comprehension  technology  as well as math and science education  who discuss the constructivist framework from their perspectives. Chapters present detailed views from both sides of the controversy. A distinctive feature of the book is the dialogue built into it between the different positions. Each chapter concludes with discussions in which two authors with opposing views raise questions about the chapter  followed by the author(s) responses to those questions; for some chapters there are several cycles of questions and answers. These discussions  and concluding chapters by the editors  clarify  and occasionally narrow the differences between positions and identify needed research.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646985723957,"sku":"ByrdShop_0415994241","price":34.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780415994248.jpg?v=1781684529","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/constructivist-instruction-success-or-failure-9780415994248","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
