Answer 1

Answer:

A. Piaget

Constructivism is a psychological theory that originated from the work of Swiss developmental psychologist Jean Piaget (1896-1980): 

• Theory

  Piaget's theory of cognitive development focuses on how children develop knowledge by interacting with their experiences and ideas. 

• Processes

  Piaget's theory identifies processes like assimilation and accommodation, which describe how people acquire new information and modify their existing knowledge. 

• Contributions

  Piaget's work is considered a foundational contribution to the field of constructivism. 

Constructivism has also been applied to education and psychotherapy: 

• Education

  Constructivism in education suggests that learners construct their understanding through experiences and social interaction. 

• Psychotherapy

  Constructivism in psychotherapy suggests that therapists and clients collaborate to create meaning together. Therapists help clients externalize their experiences by asking questions and paraphrasing what the client has said.
