EL-HANI, Charbel Nino and BIZZO, Nelio Marco Vincenzo. Forms of Constructivismo: Conceptual Change and Contextual Constructivism. Ens. Pesqui. Educ. Ciênc. [online]. 2002, vol.4, n.1, pp.37-58. ISSN 1983-2117. https://doi.org/10.1590/1983-21172002040104.
In Geelan's (1997) two-dimensional model of forms of constructivism, William Cobern's contextual constructivism is opposed to conceptual change pedagogy, which Geelan associates with personal constructivism. In this paper, we discuss the relationships between these two forms of constructivism, highlighting some consequences to science teaching.
