Englert, Carol Sue; Mariage, Troy V.
Learning Disabilities Research and Practice, v11 n3 p157-67 Sum 1996
The activities of a literacy project are described as examples of social constructivism. The role of social and dialogic interactions of teachers and students in literacy communities in which the production, rather than the reproduction, of knowledge is the goal of the instruction is emphasized. Examples of teacher and student dialog are provided. (CR)
