ABSTRACT
Eberle demonstrates variations of constructivism, starting with the epistemological, methodological and theoretical assumptions of Berger and Luckmann’s new sociology of knowledge and comparing it with cognitive or radical constructivism, empirical constructivism in ethnomethodology and science studies, social constructionism in social psychology and communicative constructivism in sociology. He argues that, as “social constructivism” has several meanings and connotations, it creates confusion to allocate the label to just one of them.
