2. In this lesson, we shall again look at
the computer, but this time from
another perspective, the computer as
the teacher’s handy-tool. It can in fact
support the constructivist and social
constructivist of learning.

3. Constructivism

4. It was introduced
by Jean Piaget (1981)
and Jerome Bruner
(1990). They gave
stress to knowledge
discovery of new
meaning/concepts/
principles in the
learning process.
Piaget (1981)
Bruner (1990)

5. Social
Constructivism

6. This is an effort to show that
the construction of knowledge is
governed by social, historical and
cultural contexts.
Pariaan National Highschool

7. In effect, this is the learner
who interprets knowledge has
a predetermined point of view
according to the social
perspectives of the community
or society he lives in.

8. The psychologist Vygotsky
stressed that learning is affected by
social influences. He therefore
suggested the interactive process in
learning. The more capable adult
(teacher or parent) or classmate can
aid or complement what the learner
sees in a given class project.

9. In addition, Dewey sees language as
a medium for social coordination and
adaptation. For Dewey human
learning is really human language
that occurs when students socially
share, build and agree upon meanings
and knowledge.

10. Summary of Two Learning
Perspective

11. Learning
Framework Constructivism
Social
Constructivism
Assumption Knowledge is
constructed
by the individual.
Knowledge is
constructed
within a social context.
Definition of Learning Students build their own
learning.
Students build
knowledge
influenced by the social
context.
Learning Strategies Gather unorganized
information to create
new
concept/principle.
Exchange and share from
ideas, stimulates
thinking.
General Orientation Personal discovery of
knowledge.
Students discuss and
discover meanings.

12. The Computer
Capabilities

13. Based on the two learning
theories, the teacher can
employ the computer as
a/an:
a. As an information tool
b. A communication tool
c. A constructive tool
d. As co-constructive tool
e. A situating tool

14. a. Information Tool
The computer can
provide vast amounts of
information in various
forms, such as text,
graphics, sound and video.
Even multimedia
encyclopedias are today
available on the internet.

15. b. Constructive Tool
The computer itself can be used for
manipulating information, visualizing one’s
understanding and building new knowledge. The
Microsoft Word computer program itself is a desktop
publishing software that allows uses to organize and
present their ideas in attractive formats.

16. c. Co-constructive Tools
Students can use constructive tools to work
cooperatively and construct a shared understanding of
new knowledge. On ways of co-constructive is the use
of the electronic whiteboard where students may post
notices to a shared document/whiteboard. Students
may also co-edit the same document from their homes.

17. • The Computer-Supported
International Learning
Environments (CSILE) is an
example of an integrated
environment developed by
the Ontario Institute for
studied in Education.

18. d. Situating Tool
By means of virtual reality
(RS) extension systems, the
computer can create 3-D images
on display to give the user the
feeling that are situated in a
virtual environment. A flight
simulation program is an
example of situating tool which
places the user in a simulated
flying environment.

19. Multi-User domains or Dungeons
(MUDs) MUD Object Oriented (MOOs),
and Multi-User Shared hallucination
(MUSHs) are example of situating systems
MUDs and MOOs are text-based virtual
reality environments on the Internet.
When users log on to a MOO
environment.

20. Activity:
Write your reflection how
does computer serves as
the teacher’s tool?
