A constructivist neural network is presented that models the acquisition of the past tense of English verbs. The network constructs its architecture in response to the learning task, corresponding to neurobiological and psychological evidence. The model outperforms other connectionist and symbolic models in learning and in displaying psychologically realistic learning and generalization behavio...

There is a need to incorporate constructivist environments in the pedagogical practice. A constructivist learning environment allows students to build up their own knowledge (based on previous one) while working jointly among them in a reflexive process directed by the teacher. Wireless interconnected handhelds can introduce a space that favours constructivism and collaboration in order to achi...

Teachers’ knowledge for implementing constructivist instruction with technology is termed as their constructivist-oriented technological pedagogical content knowledge. There are currently no available surveys for understanding teachers’ perceptions in this aspect. Therefore, teachers’ perceived knowledge gaps in terms of constructivist-oriented technology integration are not well understood. Us...
