La epistemología constructivista y la didáctica de las ciencias: ¿coincidencia o complementariedad?

Resumen

To a large extent, criticisms to constructivists epistemologies, in particular to Piaget’s theory, have come from fields like psychology and didactics, not from epistemology itself. Our goal is to show that the power of piagetian theory comes from its epistemological contents. One must not look for this power in education for its own sake. This does not mean that epistemology and educational theories are unrelated but that each one has to define its domain of applicability.
