The social constructivist paradigm can be instrumental in engaging children as well as teacher candidates in the critical-thinking, inquiry-based, knowledge construction that is learning.  The practical applications of constructivist teaching and true-life “Turning Points” included in this book can be used to provide the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that candidates need to cultivate their own learning in the college\/university classroom, and in turn, foster the learning of their future students.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Very clear with excellent descriptions and ideas that methods faculty could adopt.” -- Dr. Pamela J.
