Nowadays, the notion of a unitary organisational crrlture has lost popularity in favour of a view promoting differentiation (Martin 2002 Richter and Koch 2004). In this view, (an organisational) culture is not considered unitary but consists of multiple srrbcrrltirres. A qirite radical view is based on social constructivism and proposes that culture is predominantly dynamic and much more defined situationally, i.e. a fragmentation view (Martin 2002). The heart of the matter lies perhaps between these latter two views, in that culture in the form of basic assumptions will be the ultimate result of continual interaction between group members, partly shown situationally and partly shown universally.

Before accepting all of these claims, the reader may wish to bear in mind the following caveat, transmitted to us - in a bottle - by an ancient Cretan ... 

From the theory of social constructivism we know that chemistry education should apply methods fostering student activity and make learning a cooperative experience. Cooperative learning is an advanced mode of learning in groups. Lazarowitz and Hertz-Lazarowitz (1998, p. 449) describe the difference ... 

Social constructivism suggests that learning is a process mainly built on student-activity (hands-on and minds-on) and communication.
