Ideas of piaget and vygotsky shape current practices. Knowledge is an individual construct built through maturation and experiences that challenge current thinking. Cognitive conflict is an essential part, whereby new information/experience contradicts beliefs, prompting search for new understanding. The social exchange between teacher and student is the essence of the learning process.
