Heap, James L. (1995). Constructionism in the rhetoric and practice of
fourth generation evaluation. _Evaluation and Program Planning_ , 18, 1,
pp. 51-61.
The paper also gives an account of the philosophical and historical
developments of constructionism, cognitive and social. Interestingly,
James uses "constructionism" and "constructivism" as equivalents and instead
distinguishes between "COGNITIVE constructionism" and "SOCIAL
constructionism". For social constructionism, he draws heavily on
Pollner's work:
Pollner, M. (1993). The reflexivity of constructionism and the
construction of reflexivity. In J.A. Holstein & G. Miller (Eds.),
Reconsidering social constructionism: Debates in social problems theory
(pp. 199-212). new York: Aldine de Gruyter.
I can send you a copy of James' paper if you want.
Best wishes,
Angel

Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When ... we stand face to face in the cyber space? ...
