The proposal of humanist constructionism

open access: yes, 2011
Sociological theory in the twentieth century polarized between collectivist doctrines which asserted social determinism and individualist ones which asserted the autonomous action of atomistically conceived individuals. The late 1900s also saw the advent

Signing for Reflexivity: Constructionist Rhetorics and Its Reflexive Critique in Science and Technology Studies

open access: yesForum: Qualitative Social Research, 2002
I argue that reflexivity should not be seen as being primarily about the relationship of scientific writing to the realities studied—as it is often understood.

Mechanochemical Synthesis and Characterization of Nanostructured ErB4 and NdB4 Rare‐Earth Tetraborides

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 6, March 2025.
ErB4 and NdB4 nanostructured powders are produced by mechanochemical synthesis. 5 h mechanical alloying and 4 M HCl acid leaching are used in the production. ErB4 and NdB4 powders exhibit maximum magnetization of 0.4726 emu g−1 accompanied with an antiferromagnetic‐to‐paramagnetic phase transition at about TN = 18 K and 0.132 emu g−1 with a maximum at ...

Revisiting Stability Criteria in Ball‐Milled High‐Entropy Alloys: Do Hume–Rothery and Thermodynamic Rules Equally Apply?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 27, Issue 6, March 2025.
The stability criteria affecting the formation of high‐entropy alloys, particularly focusing in supersaturated solid solutions produced by mechanical alloying, are analyzed. Criteria based on Hume–Rothery rules are distinguished from those derived from thermodynamic relations. The formers are generally applicable to mechanically alloyed samples.

Characterization of Defect Distribution in an Additively Manufactured AlSi10Mg as a Function of Processing Parameters and Correlations with Extreme Value Statistics

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Predicting extreme defects in additive manufacturing remains a key challenge limiting its structural reliability. This study proposes a statistical framework that integrates Extreme Value Theory with advanced process indicators to explore defect–process relationships and improve the estimation of critical defect sizes. The approach provides a basis for

Science Education and Social Constructionism

open access: yes
The principle of social constructionism was taken up at a place of education, and an education policy came to tend it to be thought based on it today. Constructionism began in Piaget theory and became popular in social constructionism based on a Vigotsky

Empirical modelling in support of constructionism : a case study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Conventional programming paradigms have limitations where support for constructionist learning is concerned. This paper illustrates the merits of an alternative approach to giving support for constructionist learning, based on the principles of Empirical

What Do Large Language Models Know About Materials?

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
If large language models (LLMs) are to be used inside the material discovery and engineering process, they must be benchmarked for the accurateness of intrinsic material knowledge. The current work introduces 1) a reasoning process through the processing–structure–property–performance chain and 2) a tool for benchmarking knowledge of LLMs concerning ...

Post-constructionism and drama

open access: yes, 2015
As a theoretical tool for exploration of drama and learning, I use post-constructionism which can be described as moves “into and beyond stances” (Lykke, 2010, p. 133) of constructionism, social constructionism and post-structuralism. It is a theoretical

Choosing a Methodological Path: Reflections on the Constructivist Turn

open access: yesGrounded Theory Review: An International Journal, 2012
Researchers deciding to use grounded theory are faced with complex decisions regarding which method or version of grounded theory to use: Classic, straussian, feminist or constructivist grounded theory.
