Social Constructivism in education and learning theory is a theory of human learning in light of learners' social situation / community. The
zone of proximal development, developed by Lev Vygotsky and expanded upon by Bruner, is an idea under social constructivism.In recent decades, constructivist theorists have extended the traditional focus on individual learning to address collaborative and social dimensions of learning. It is possible to see
social constructivism as a bringing together of aspects of the work of
Piaget with that of
Bruner and
Vygotsky (Wood 1998: 39). The term Communal constructivism was introduced by Bryn Holmes in
2001. As described in an early paper, "in this
model, students will not simply pass through a course like
water through a
sieve but instead leave their own imprint in the learning process."
