Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Heterarchical Reflexive Conversational Teaching and Learning as a Vehicle for Ethical Engineering Curriculum Design” by Philip Baron. Upshot: The target article discusses constructivist teaching in the context of a university engineering course. As such it offers an opportunity to think about third-level constructivist teaching. In addition, it focuses on the ethical dimensions of the constructivist approach. The description of constructivist approaches offers the opportunity to reflect on implementing constructivist methods in teaching.
