DEFINITION:Social constructivist approach emphasize the social contexts of learning and idea that knowledge is mutually built and constructed . Involvement with others creates opportunity for students to evaluate and refine their understanding as they are exposed to the thinking of others and as they participates creating shared understanding.(Gauvain & Parke ,2010) In this way, experiences in social contexts provide an important mechanism for the development of students thinking.(Johson & Johson ,2010)

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM IN THE BROADER CONSTRUCTIVIST CONTEXT:
There are two theories related to constructivism in the field of educational psychology .a)VYGOTSKY’S SOCIAL THEORY.b)PIAGET’S COGNITIVE CONSTRUCTIVISM THEORY. Piaget’s and Vygotsky’s theories are constructivist . Piaget’s theory is a cognitive constructivist theory, where as Vygotsky’s is a social construcivist . The implication of Vygotsky’s model for teaching is to establish opportunities for students to learn through social interactions with others – with the teacher and peers – in constructing knowledge and understanding . In Piaget’s view , students construct knowledge by transforming , organizing and reorganizing previous knowledge and information . In both Piaget’s & Vygotsky’s models , teachers are facilitator not director .Distinctions between cognitive and social constructivist approaches are not always clear – cut . All social constructivist approaches emphasize that social factors contribute to student’s construction of knowedge and understanding.5/4/2016 5

SITUATED COGNITION:
Situated cognition is an important assumption in the social constructivist approaches . It refers to the idea that thinking occurs (is situated) in social and physical contexts . In other words , knowledge is embedded in , and connected to the context in which the knowledge developed(langer , 2009). If this is so , it makes sense to create learning situations that are as close to real world circumstances as possible .

FOR EXAMPLE:“Problem –Based learning & Project –
Based learning”These two methods emphasis on situated cognition To expand student’s knowledge and understanding of volcanos , some students are placed in the role of scientists studying an active volcano , while other students are given the task of reporting what to expect to an emergency evacuation team .Using internet resources , the “scientists” students examine new stories about active volcanos; the “evacuation team” students search for information about the impact that volcanos have no inhabitants and how they can be removed from the danger of an erupting volcano.

cognitive apprenticeship , tutoring and co-operative learning.
