Social constructivism had its origins in the thought of Karl
Marx. However, it became a strong influence on educationalists in
the capitalist West during the latter half of the 20th Century, and
thinkers such as Piaget and Vygotsky are popular on teacher
training courses to this day. But does its central tenet, that
learning is socially constructed rather than individually
discovered, hold up under scrutiny?
