What’s good on TV these days? Gone are the golden days of half-hour gameshows and soap operas, with the exception of maybe Hollywood Squares and General Hospital. So what’s new in the menu? Come the new millenium, the world is slapped with some programs never before seen on television. Here, I would like to compare two of television’s recent prized possessions.
This is my mini research on Constructivism for Communication Theory class.
Constructivism is a term with varying interpretations in different fields: education, philosophy, mathematics, art, architecture, political science and linguistics. In communication, constructivism is a cognitive theory of human communication that describes how human perception influences the skillful production and interpretation of a variety of social influence messages (Delia, O’Keefe, & O’Keefe, 1982). The constructivist theory is based on symbolic interactionism and George Kelly’s personal construct theory. Jesse Delia, Daniel and Barbara J. O’Keefe of Northwestern University conceptualized it from these two interrelated theories to understand how human beings construct meaning.
