NY: Routledge. Vol. 13 No. 8	2015	45	.pdf	application/pdf	13629	599	47	Constructivism and False Dichotomies Tobias and Duffy‘s volume derives largely from a debate held at the American Educational Research Association annual meeting in 2007, that itself reflected the publication of, and responses to, a paper in the journal Educational Psychologist suggesting that constructivist teaching approaches were ineffective (Kirschner, Sweller, & Clark, 2006). Despite this, science teaching in England does not typically ‗look‘ especially non-traditional (Taber & Bektas, 2009), and indeed the general indifference to the strong constructivist flavour of official guidance (in the sense that it has not been the subject of any noticeable critical comment, within the profession or in the media) seems to suggest that in the English context this is seen by most in the educational community as little more than ‗good practice‘ (Taber, 2010a).	cache/educationr-1418.pdf	txt/educationr-1418.txt
