SVA ?Program of the First Working Groups of Constructivists Discussion

I don’t understand this Social Science question and need help to study.

A page of reading response, due 09/30

The question should be responded to after doing your weekly readings and is seen as a short exercise to get you writing and thinking critically about the texts. For guidance, you should only take between 15-20 minutes to respond and I expect the response length to be 3-5 paragraphs. I am looking for responses that specifically cite the assigned texts. Your response will be graded with a ?, ?-, or ?+.
