Constructivism and behaviorism are similar because they are both philosophies of learning. They are psychological theories that try to define how a student learns. Both types of theorists study the nature of learning and the properties and nature of knowledge. The theorists propose separate views detailing how learning occurs and how knowledge can be defined.
