AGUIRRE GARCIA, Juan Carlos  and  POSADA RAMIREZ, Jorge Gregorio. SOME ANSWERS TO THE CONSTRUCTIONIST CHALLENGE: A REALISTIC APPROACH. sophia [online]. 2013, n.9, pp.147-160. ISSN 1794-8932.

This paper is aimed to face two antagonistic approaches about Science: Reality and Truth, Constructionism and Realism; the purpose is to evaluate the strength of their arguments; then we will revise the most important postulates of Constructionism from some fundamental concepts; we will also show some realistic replies to the Constructionism. We finally conclude suggesting the necessity to make a reflexion over these topics in the Social Science research and teaching framework, ergo most of the constructionist theses pervade the theoretical and pedagogical corpus of these disciplines.

Keywords : Science; Social Sciences; Constructivism; Realism; Truth.
