Anthropological-philosophical basis of the epistemological constructivism contributions to didactics

Abstract

Many of today’s educational theories are constructivist. In this article, we reflect on various anthropological-philosophical questions that justify the principles of constructivism applied to didactics presented by Giovanni Marcello Iafrancesco. When we go into the epistemological constructivism we find different theoretical orientations. Some of them relate to evolutionary epistemology and the idea of natural selection. Therefore, after the introduction, a review is made to the idea of natural selection in the anthropological field, after which the required ideas are exposed in order that the constructivism postulates, applied to didactics, become evident.
