It is argued
that an epistemology that supports theories of situated cognition
and social constructivism can be found in the tradition of John
Dewey's pragmatism. Dewey's pragmatic social behaviorism is a powerful
theory of learning that stresses the roles of labor, tools, and
language as activities of enculturation. (SLD)
