Reading through your comments, and I beg your forgiveness as I have been out of the loop due to my own situation, but I wonder how we can move from the articles we read and seek how we can use knowledge construction in the future educational settings we may enter. I wonder how we can face students, administrators, and even my future counseling clients and realize that we each have our own constructed reality of the world based on each and every experience when walked through. Last night I was searching through YOU TUBE and came across a topic on construction knowledge by John Abbott and found it to be similair in what the articles projected. Our experiences make us who we are and from that point of view EVERYTHING is subjective, even when we think it is objective. My point being that students, parents, teachers and everyone inbetween have reasons for being who they are and we need to be open (gently) to clarifying and encouraging conversation on people's perspectives, even if it seems to be objective.
