Constructivism

I believe it is a cult of construction workers... Just kidding. I believe it is the theory that people "construct" their knowledge from experiences they have. The many times I have heard about Constructivism was in the argument for preschools, and what is define as kids just playing for fun or are they gaining knowledge from their play.

Constructivism

What I know about constructivism is that it is a method of learning that takes place by doing. It means to be a life-long learner. Basically by living we are being constructivists because we are continually learning. Constructivism is very important when helping students learn.

What is constructivism? Constructivism is providing students with the opportunity to construct meaning through a variety of learning experiences including hands on activities, differentiated instruction, etc. Constructivism is activating prior knowledge in order to allow students to understand and relate new knowledge. Constructivism is exploration. A constructivist classroom doesn't just happen. It is created through the teacher and the students working together.
