CANON ORTIZ, Óscar Enrique; PELAEZ ROMERO, Martha Patricia  and  NORENA NORENA, Néstor Mario. Reflections about social constructionism in psychology. Diversitas [online]. 2005, vol.1, n.2, pp.238-245. ISSN 1794-9998.

The present reflection seeks to socialize and discuss some vital topics used in the constructionism. This intellectual movement is a kind of psychology but its position goes beyond, constituting an epistemology which explores with a different lens the variety of psycho and metapsychological knowledge. The principles that in some way are present along these lines are: our capability of relating, the doubt concerning all knowledge, relativity, and the questioning of what's supposedly unquestionable. A peculiar intention of this assay is to comprehend constructionism as a daily look into academy, in order to claim discourses as commitments of social beings in their daily life, implying the coordination of actions going beyond simple speculations.

Keywords : constructionism; meta-theory; relation; cognitivism; meaning.
