Thus Vygotsky’s social theory of mind offers a strong parallel with social constructivism, one that can also be found elsewhere in psychology, such as Mead’s (1934) symbolic interactionism. A further development in this direction is the Activity. Theory of Leont’ev (1978), with perceives psychological motives and functioning as inseparable from the socio-political context. Possibly less radical is the move to see knowing as bound up with its context in situated’ (Lave,1988;Brown teal.,1989),although Walkerdine (1988,1989) proposes a fully social constructionist psychology of mathematics. Social constructionism as a movement in psychology is gaining in force, as Harre(1989) reports, and is replacing the traditional developmental or behaviorist paradigms of psychology with that of social negotiation. Hare goes so far as to propose that inner concepts such as self-identity are linguistic-related social constructions.
