5.2: Theory Constructivism by Jean Piaget  



When v talk about Constructivism, there are actually social constructivism and cognitive constructivism:

SOCIAL Constructivism is the work of Lev Vygosky. He emphasizes the influences of cultural and social contexts in learning and supports a discovery model of learning. This type of model places the teacher in an active role while the students' mental abilities develop naturally through various paths of discovery.

COGNITIVE constructivism is developed by JEAN PIAGET. It is a theory of development that describes how learners develop cognitive abilities. Piaget's theory of cognitive development proposes that humans cannot be given information, in which they immediately understand and use. Instead, learners must construct their own knowledge. They build their knowledge through experience. Experiences enable them to create schemas — mental models of the world. These schemas are changed, enlarged, and made more sophisticated through two complimentary processes: assimilation and accommodation.

Cognitive constructivism is based on two different senses of construction.First, on the idea that people learn by actively constructing new knowledge, not by having information poured into their heads.Moreover, constructivism asserts that people learn with particular effectiveness when they are engaged in constructing personally meaningful artifacts (e.g. computer programs, animations).
