This document summarizes key perspectives on constructivism and social constructivism as frameworks for understanding learning. Constructivism views knowledge as constructed individually, while social constructivism sees it as constructed within a social context. Theorists discussed include Piaget, Bruner, Vygotsky, and Dewey. The document also outlines how computers can serve as information tools, communication tools, constructive tools, co-constructive tools, and situating tools to support learning from a social constructivist perspective.

2.  Was introduce by :
 piaget (1981) and bruner(1990).
 They stress to KNOWLEDGE DISCOVERY
of new meaning/ concepts/ priciples in the
learning process.

3. Social constructivism
 This is an effort to show
that the construction of
knowledge is governed by
social, historical and
cultural context.

4. Vygotsky
 Stressed that learning is
affected by social
influences.
 He therefore suggested the
inter active process in
learning.

5. Dewey
 Sees language as a medium for
social coordination and
adaptation.
 For dewey human learning is
really human languaging that
occurs when students socially
share, build and agree upon
meanings and knowledge.

14.  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 a situating tool which
places the user in a simulated flying
environment.
