Objectivism and Education: A Response to David Elkind's ‘The Problem with Constructivism’

Pages 232-238 | Published online: 30 Jan 2008
 

Abstract

This paper responds to David Elkind's article “The Problem with Constructivism,” published in the Summer 2004 issue of The Educational Forum. It argues that Elkind's thesis—teacher, curricular, and societal readiness lead to the implementation of constructivism—is conceptually problematic. This paper also critiques constructivism and supports objectivism as a viable philosophy of education.
