EPISODE NOTES:

POINT 1: “Critical Constructivism is grounded on the notion of constructivism. Constructivism asserts that nothing represents a neutral perspective—nothing exists before consciousness shapes it into something perceptible.” p. 8

POINT 2: "Knowledge of the world is an interpretation produced by people who are a part of that world. Thus, understanding the nature of interpretation is a central feature of being an educated person." p. 17

POINT 3: "Interpretations cannot be separated from the interpreter's location in the web of reality--one's interpretive facility involves understanding how historical, social, cultural, economic and political contexts construct our perspectives on the world, self and other." p. 25

POINT 4: "The "critical" in critical constructivism comes from critical theory and its concern with extending a human's consciousness of herself as a social being--critical theory promotes self-reflection in relation to social power and its ability to align our self-perceptions and world views with the interests of power blocs." p. 33
