Constructivism

When I think of Constructivism, I think of a building on to prior knowledge. Students learn by connecting new information with what they already know. A teacher who runs a Constructivist classroom tends to focus on student centered instruction. The classroom is hands-on and deals with a lot of group work. Constructivist teaching actively involves students. They are adding on to what they already know.
