CONSTRUCTIVISM VS CONSTRUCTIONISM

CONSTRUCTIVISM


•Piaget's theory relates how children become progressively detached from the
world of concrete objects and local contingencies, gradually becoming able to
mentally manipulate symbolic objects within a realm of hypothetical worlds.
•His theory emphasizes all those things needed to maintain the internal structure and organization of the cognitive system.


CONSTRUCTIONISM


•Papert’s constructionism, focuses more on the art of learning, or ‘learning to learn’, and on the significance of making things in learning. Papert is interested in how learners engage in a conversation with
[their own or other people’s] artifacts, and how these conversations boost self-directed learning and ultimately facilitate the construction of new knowledge.
