Although both constructionism and social constructivism have to do with the way in which social phenomena develop, they are different. Social constructionism refers to the development of phenomena related to social contexts, while social constructivism refers to the creation of an individual sense of their knowledge in relation to the social context. For this reason, social constructionism is typically described as a sociological construct whereas social constructivism is typically described as a psychological construct. Social constructivism has been studied by many educational psychologists, who have worried about its implications for teaching and learning.
