Routledge - The Constructivist Credo - Social Science Research

The Constructivist Credo provides a definitive guide for researchers working within the constructivist paradigm. This volume presents a set of foundational principles distilled by Yvonna Lincoln and Egon Guba from their extensive body of work. The text is organized into 150 propositional statements that serve as a framework for conducting social science research. Following the passing of Egon Guba in 2008, Yvonna Lincoln completed the Credo to ensure these essential ideas were preserved for future scholars. Beyond the core principles, this book offers a deep look into the history and thought processes of the authors. It includes an introduction to constructivism, an intellectual biography, and a complete bibliography of Guba's work. Readers will also find a practical case study included to help ground these theoretical concepts in real-world application. This book is an essential resource for students and academics studying the history and philosophy of psychology and social science methodology.
