Researchers in mathematics education build on Glasersfeld's work over the past 25 years and his views on the nature of knowledge and knowing. Tying his theories to practical problems of mathematics and science education to give an operational manifestation of constructivism, they begin with an analogy between the emergence of radical constructivism and changes in what is thought of as certain scientific knowledge. Then they explore broad epistemological issues, among them including ethics, and what social interaction and self mean within a constructivist framework. The 18 papers are from a international symposium for which neither date or location is identified. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c.
