ABSTRACT

This chapter is a sociohistorical approach to the thought shaped by social constructionism based on the critical vision that the latter imposes on knowledge as symmetry with respect to the truth and raises the importance of openness toward other ways of understanding human experience.

Starting with the construction of scientific thought as truth, the argument is shifted toward the search for the explanatory discrepancies that social constructionism makes emerge with its debates to finally reach certain basic consensuses of the movement that have been expressed over time as a contribution to the field of social sciences and social intervention.

An important section, that shows the diversity of creative construction and the use of dialogic practices, is found in the analysis of the intervention models proposed by Valdéz (2020), Ramírez (2020) and Moyeda (2021).

After that, it is better understood that the objective of an intervention, from the point of view of social constructionism, is not to discover something new through a single universal method but to denature reality and truth as fixed and irrefutable criteria to give way to the task of deconstructing and rebuilding everyday life from multiple meanings.
