Unique in offering a multidisciplinary perspective on key issues of alteative epistemologies in education, this collection includes contributions from scholars in family therapy, epistemology, and mathematics, science, and language education. These respected researchers were brought together to develop the theme of constructivism as it applies to many diversified fields.

Each section provides both keynote positions on a particular alteative paradigm as well as critical comments by respondents regarding that position. Several chapters also present a synthesis of the alteative epistemological perspectives.
