Abstract

Identification and acceptance of a best approach to teaching and learning with information technologies in teacher preparation programs is under constant investigation as the integration of new technologies becomes an impressive force in education today. Determining positive and valuable features of any practical and theoretical teaching and learning approach from a logical and systematic review is essential. This paper will explore social and communal constructivism to identify the potential strengths and weaknesses and to address their relationship and the implications for teacher education from the authors' international point of view. Additionally the authors argue that communal constructivism might be best seen as not a single idea, but a loosely related set of separate innovations.
