Abstract

In the first stance, constructivism is against realism. While realists insist that our true knowledge corresponds to reality, constructivists reject idea of correspondence and claim that the mind is independent from reality in its work of providing constructs. Thus, so far as knowledge is concerned, constructivist psychologists like Geoge Kelly and Jean Piaget have appealed to the notion of adjustment, rather than correspondence, to reality. Even though constructivists are right in claiming that correspondence to reality is problematic, their critique is tenable solely in the case of naive realism. However, it is argued that we can keep talking about correspondence to reality without rejecting the constructive ability of the mind. This is because, epistemologically speking, the notion of correspondence is crucial for the truth of our theories, while on the other hand, adjustment to reality falls short of being the adequate criterion for truth. The instrumentalist position on knowledge constructs from distinguishing between the adequacy and truth of constructs. It is concluded that we can Keep the insights of constructivists on the theory-leadenness of facts without leaving aside the notion of correspondence to reality. In fact, constructivism meeds to be more realistic.
