Abstract

GARCIA, Emilio García  and  VEIGA, Elizabeth Carvalho da. O construtivismo e as funções mentais. Rev. Diálogo Educ. [online]. 2007, vol.07, n.20, pp.91-102. ISSN 1981-416X.

The present work is about an analysis on the different constructivism conceptions with the hierarchic and parallel models of the mental working. Some are more associative, repetitive, accumulative and directed to maintain the system stability (associative learning); while others suppose reorganization, innovation, qualitative bounces (constructive learning). Regarding to dichotomic and opposing conceptions between associative and constructive learning styles, it seems more adequate the models and theories that point out the continuing and complementarity of several learning styles.

Keywords : Constructivism; Learning; Mental Functions.
