| Summary: | "In The False Promises of Constructivist Theories of Learning: A Global and Ecological Critique, C. A. Bowers examines why constructivist-based educational reforms fail to take into account these current critical issues: the deepening ecological crisis, globalization, and undermining of the world's diverse cultural commons. Special attention is given to the enthnocentrism and Social Darwinism that created the foundations for the ideas of Dewey, Piaget, and Freire."--BOOK JACKET. |
