Differences Piaget’s Constructivism vs. Papert’s Constructionism
Piaget’s  Constructivism argues humans construct meaning from current knowledge structures values developmentally-appropriate facilitator-supported learning that is initiated and directed by the learner.  processes of  accommodation   and  assimilation , individuals construct new knowledge from their experiences
describes how children’s ways of doing and thinking evolve over time, and under which circumstance children are more likely to let go of—or hold onto— their currently held views Learning is active social process Learners as unique individuals who r responsible of their learning Instructors/educators as facilitators.
Papert’s Constructionism learning is an active process wherein learners are actively constructing mental models and theories of the world around them  connected with  experiential learning  and builds on  some  of the ideas of  Jean Piaget
