This article seeks clearly to distinguish constructivism and constructionism
and to give the reader a more extended and detailed knowledge of the latter.
It does so by outlining three different discourses: entitative, constructivism
and critical relational constructionism (CRC). In the first, relations are
storied as ‘going on’ between independently existing entities in Subject-
Object (S-O) relation. The second involves a shift from naïve to (some sort
of) critical realism and so blurs some S-O constructions. The third discourse
(CRC) is the least well known. It is the only one that reflexively treats its own
themes and assumptions and those of ‘science’ as constructions that could be
otherwise – hence the term “critical”. CRC is presented as a different
language game. Instead of centring relatively stable entities, minds and ‘real’
reality, CRC centres ongoing relational processes as they construct and
re-construct multiple Self - Other relations - as relational realities
