Annotation of	Text:Knowing_without_Metaphysics:_Aspects_of_the_Radical_Constructivist_Position
Annotation Comment	That is to say, teachers must try to infer, from what they can observe, what the students’ concepts are and how they operate with them. Only on the basis of some such hypothesis can teachers devise ways and means to orient, direct, or modify the students’ mental operating. This is a context in which the constructivist approach and its analysis of conceptual development seemed promising.
