Objectivism and constructivism ontology

  • What is a constructivist ontology?

    Constructivism is a philosophical paradigm that ontologically emphasizes how an individual actively constructs their own notions of reality through their cognition (Lincoln and Guba, 1985; Schwandt, 1997) resulting in the existence of multiple realities..

  • What is objectivism and constructivism?

    Constructivism claims that reality is more in the mind of the knower, that the knower con- structs a reality, or at least interprets it, based upon his or her apperceptions.
    The empha- sis in objectivism is on the object of our know- ing, whereas constructivism is concerned with how we construct knowledge..

  • Constructivism is based on the idea that reality is constructed by society, culture, human interaction etc, whereas objectivism is based on the idea that reality exists independent of all the aforementioned things.
  • Objectivity believes that knowledge exists whether we are conscious of it or not.
    Constructionist believes that we come to “know” through our interactions.
    Subjectivity believes that everyone has a different understanding of what we know.
  • Social constructionists differ from extreme subjectivists in insisting that realities are not limitless and unique to (or definable by) the individual; rather, they are the product of social definitions and as such far from equal in status.

What is the difference between constructivism and Objectivism?
