Consideration on the phenomenon of authority within the framework of constructivism

This article discusses the evaluations on the phenomenon of authority, within the framework of constructivism. First, the notion of authority is examined under phenomenal context; then, the incompatibility of the concept of authority, presumed by the constructivist approach which has been put into operation in 2005- 2006 school year with the social structure and values of this land, was mentioned. Also, the thesis of transforming our understanding of authority and creating an alienation to the authority would cause problems due to this approach, with respect to our cultural texture was asserted. Suffocating hegemony of authority versus antiauthoritarianism are discussed with both their positive and negative aspects.
