CONSTRUCTIVISM vs CONSTRUCTIONISM

PIAGET offers a window into what children are able to achieve following the different stages of their development. he also describes how children ways of doing and thinking evolve over time. from my understanding, constructivism involves assimilation and accomodation process. when children gain knowledge, they will associate the knowledge that they gain with the previous one.

PAPERT more to self directed learning. he emphasises on the importance of tools and media in human development. children engage in conversation with themselves or other people and construct the knowledge from their converstaion experience with others. therefore, computers and other technologies play a crucial part in modern constructionism.
