this is really a challenge for me, i had never perceived constructivism as
in opposition to CHAT.
i don't understand how partial truth (or perspective) becomes incorrect
(which seems to mean wrong, or false, in this context.)
please explain further.
also, how can there be other than partial truths?
i think less partial truths might be created through a multi-vocal
process, but even that seems more of a desire than a fact.
the unique perspective i hold on reality is undeniable influenced by both
my personal history and the social and cultural settings in which i engage
with others in activities. the partiality of my version of reality
necessarily emerges out of the complexity of the cultural, historical,
social, psychological, etc. systems that i live in. my understanding, my
learning/knowing self is distrubuted across many systems, and levels of
systems. i would have to be able to "see" myself think in order to locate
my blind spots. for that, i rely on others.
