Towards a Matching Strategy of Constructivism and Instructionism
Towards a Matching Strategy of Constructivism and Instructionism
There exists a traditional conflict in teaching between constructivism (learner’s perspective) and instructionism (instructor's perspective) because they are mutually exclusive and practitioners will support either one idea or the other. In this paper we attempt to bridge the gap between these two theories via a matching strategy through the intended learning outcomes. We propose that the philosophies of constructivism and instructionism can be used to balance the learner's knowledge and instructor's knowledge in order to provide suitable learning activities to the learners.

Abstract
There exists a traditional conflict in teaching between constructivism (learner’s perspective) and instructionism (instructor's perspective) because they are mutually exclusive and practitioners will support either one idea or the other. In this paper we attempt to bridge the gap between these two theories via a matching strategy through the intended learning outcomes. We propose that the philosophies of constructivism and instructionism can be used to balance the learner's knowledge and instructor's knowledge in order to provide suitable learning activities to the learners.
