TI  - The Effects of Constructivism Theory in the Environment of E-learning
UR  - https://www.hausarbeiten.de/document/490817
N2  - The main aim of this essay is to examine the impact of constructivism on adult education by implementing some of the constructivist approaches to e-learning.  We observe in recent years that constructivist philosophy has a great impact on adult education. Constructivism as a philosophical stream draws its content from various theories. His main point is that knowledge is directly related to construct. Individuals, depending on their emphasis on external reality, form a personal view, focusing, of course, on the importance of social processes in the production of knowledge.  On the other hand, we observe the adoption of a new way of learning, e-learning, that takes place in a different environment, the distance environment and not in the traditional class environment. Of course, it is a fact that in the context of e-learning, adult educators have to use some special techniques and adopt different approaches in order to successfully pass their teaching work. In particular, each adult learner has his own particular needs and experiences, which the trainer has to recognize and take into account in the design of his teaching. The philosophical and methodological changes that the trainer will adopt will therefore significantly affect his teaching.
