History
The inaugural issue of Constructivist Foundations was presented at the 2005 meeting of the American Society for Cybernetics.[2][3]
Originally, the articles in CF were meant to explore mainly von Glasersfeld's radical constructivism. The scope expanded to include "constructivist approaches."[4]<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />
"In very general terms, constructivist approaches can be said to support the idea that mental structures such as cognition and perception are actively built by one's mind rather than passively acquired. They emphasize the primacy of the cognitive system and its organizational closure. In the understanding of constructivism, cognition is not about creating representations of a mind-independent reality but constructing reality."[4]
