Constructivism and Program Comprehension Strategies
C. Exton. IWPC '02: Proceedings of the 10th International Workshop on Program Comprehension, page 281. Washington, DC, USA, IEEE Computer Society, (2002)
Abstract
Program comprehension strategies and learning
theories are difficult topics in themselves, and the
combination of both can provide some interesting
observations. Constructivism differs from the traditional
learning theories which suggest knowledge exists as
something independent of the individual in several ways.
One major premise of Constructivism is that we actively
construct our knowledge rather than simply absorbing it
through repeated practice or predefined steps.
Constructivism asserts that there is no knowledge
independent of that constructed by the learner, and its
construction is a unique experience for each individual.
This paper provides an overview of existing Program
Comprehension Strategies and contrasts them in relation
to the learning theory of Constructivism.
