Little Big Question # 4: Social constructivism vs. social constructionism?

(Article: Burck, C. (2005). Comparing qualitative research methodologies for systemic research: the use of grounded theory, discourse analysis and narrative analysis. Journal of Family Therapy 27, 237-262.)


Social constructivism and social constructionism: can you tell the difference?


For example, in the article, I would have used "social constructivism" instead of "social constructionism" (for its psychological "accent"), but I am not sure about it... I would really like to know more about these two perspectives, and when I should refer to the one or to the other.
