	Reconstructivism - FSPWiki
		Reconstructivism is a post-deconstructionist philosophy that advocates conscious rebuilding of reality, particularly creating new and improved versions of conventional, oppressive or outmoded structures.
		Another reconstructivist, John Dewey, is noted for stating that each generation of children should reinvent democracy for itself, and each child should be taught to use critical thinking to create for himself the ideal world he wishes to live in, rather than passively accept what has already existed.
		However, unlike deconstructionism, reconstructivism is not self-aware primarily for ironic purpose.

	Mr.Koczij: March 2005
		The difference between progressivism (associated with Dewey) and reconstructivism (associated with George Counts and Paolo Freire) lies in the perceived purpose of education.
		However, the purpose of reconstructivism is to deal with problems affecting communities (such as poverty, inequality, suffering, governance, disenfranchisement), while the purpose of progressivism is limited to learning in and of itself.
		Reconstructivism clearly requires the teacher to educate with opinions that she would be eager to share.

	Reconstructivism - ArticleWorld (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Reconstructivism is an ideology that emphasizes the importance of changing for the better existing social structures.
		A good example of this theory being adopted and put into use is Paulo Freire, a teacher from Brazil who taught students the benefits of social reform within society.
		In opposition to post-deconstructionist ideas, Reconstructivism encourages remodeling oppressive structures.

	Philosophy
		I also think that having rules in a classroom is important to both the teacher and the students, and my classroom will abide by a set of rules set up and discussed by me as the teacher and my students.
		Social reconstructivism is the other philosophy that will play only a small part in my personal teaching philosophy, but it is somewhat important to my philosophy because I believe that reality and aspects of society and community should be included in the classroom.
		Social reconstructivism will be a small part of my teaching philosophy because I will teach and encourage my students to be involved in their community and society by making them aware of what is going on in society and in the news and by keeping them informed of ways they can contribute to their community.

	Philosophy
		When we started learning about the philosophies of education, I did not agree with just one philosophy so I took the philosophies that are important to me and showed how I will use them to expand learning in my classroom.
		Social reconstructivism is also a philosophy that I want to use in my classroom.
		Social reconstructivism allows the students to explore problems and allows them to decide which way the problem will be fixed.

	Inoue - Reinstating the Universal in the Discourse of Human Rights and Justice (conference paper) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		As is shown by the interpretive reconstructivism discussed in the last section, the factual indeterminacy of rules implies that we have to depend on our normative judgment about which interpretive scheme enables us to see the past facts in the best light.
		The CLS criticism can be reformulated as the claim that there is no distinction between moral idealization and factually bounded interpretive optimization of law so that interpretive conflicts in law is reduced to the conflicts of political ideologies that set forth competing social ideals.
		This is not a rejection of interpretive reconstructivism but an attempt to radicalize it because it pushes the reconstructivist assumption of factual underdeterminacy of meaning up to its logical limit: complete indeterminacy.

	Ontological Commitment and Reconstructivism - Carrara, Varzi (ResearchIndex) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Some forms of analytic reconstructivism take natural language (and common sense at large) to be ontologically opaque: ordinary sentences must be suitably rewritten or paraphrased before questions of ontological commitment may be raised.
		Other forms of reconstructivism take the commitment of ordinary language at face value, but regard it as metaphysically misleading: common-sense objects exist, but they are not what we normally think they are.

	Teaching Philosophy
		The main concept that Freire focuses on in this philosophy is that school can be a place where people can gather education and rise above their socioeconomic status and then turn around and offer a hand to others who are in need of help through education and reform.
		The statement from the philosophy I most identified with from Social Reconstructivism was, “Education should enable students to recognize injustices in society, and schools should promote projects to redress social inequities”.
		I do not think there is a subject that a good teacher could not tie to that statement.

		Service learning as educational model could be instrumental in reconstructing education for a better South African society.
		Service learning as pedagogy has its roots in social reconstructivism, which encourages the student to analyse issues and to engage in efforts to solve them.
		This pedagogy also draws from Paulo Freire's critical theory, as service learning is about social justice and change, and the conscientisation of the learner (Freire, 1994; Kanpol, 1994) about the world.

	Philosophy
		Through a combination of philosophies, mainly progressivism and essentialism the classroom can become an inviting, child-centered place in which to learn.
		I believe that what is needed is active engagement in constructing one’s own knowledge (progressivism) and getting down to the basics in subject matter (essentialism,) along with a bit of social consciousness from reconstructivism and the pursuit of truth, rhetoric and logical reasoning from perennialism.
		Technology is the perfect aid to this end.

		Due to the empirical arbitrariness of these assumptions, so called empiricists are able to reconstruct any activity as science, while constructivists, on the other hand, may claim that the same activity is technology.
		The flaw of reconstructivism - and the reason for endless debates in philosophy - is that there is no accepted meta-criterion for correct reconstruction.
		However, if we are actually interested in empirical evidence, we should turn our attention to the linguistic form of scientific reports.

		A reconstructivist art work builds upon prior, deconstructionist artworks and techniques, but adapts them to classic themes and structures, with the goal of creating works of genuine emotion and significance.
		In this way, reconstructivism (when it works) combines the vitality and originality of deconstructionism with the comforts, pleasures and rewards of classicism.
		The overall purpose of reconstructivism is to reawaken a sense of the Real in a world where everything has been demonstrated to be an illusion.
