Constructivism has risen in opposition to behaviorism. Why? What are the underlying tenets of constructivism that make it different from behaviorism, and how are these differences reflected in the educational process? Critique constructivism's idea of the learner constructing his or her own version of reality. How does this compare with the behaviorist view of the student's role in education?

Compare and contrast Piaget's theory of cognitive development with the theories proposed by Vygotsky and Bandura. Use the following scenario: you are a second-grade teacher and are writing a lesson plan to teach math facts (addition and subtraction). Based on Piaget's theory of cognitive development, what materials would you incorporate into your lesson plan? Be specific and explain how your plan is driven by Piaget's theory. How would you change your lesson plan based on Vygotsky's theory? Based on Bandura's theory?
