    Constructivist Approach To Teaching and Learning

    Constructivist Approach to Teaching and Learning The constructivist approach suggests that learning involves actively constructing knowledge based on experiences. Learners build understanding through hands-on activities and reflecting on those experiences rather than passively receiving information. Key theorists who influenced constructivism include Piaget, who described cognitive development in stages, Dewey, who emphasized progressive and experiential education, and Vygotsky, who explored social learning. In a constructivist classroom, teachers act as facilitators, ask open-ended questions, and have students work together to solve authentic problems.

    Constructivist Approach to Teaching and Learning

    1. CONSTRUCTIVISTAPPROACH TO TEACHING AND LEARNING Created By Christy F.


    2. Constructivist Approach to Teaching and Learning Overview of Constructivism Theorists
    supporting Constructivism How Constructivism is Applied in the Classroom My Constructivist
    Classroom
    3. The theory of constructivism is an Overview of Constructivism approach to learning
    suggesting that children must construct their own understandings of the world in which they In
    comparison to live. behaviorism, the learner is not a blank slate (tabula rasa), but instead brings
    past experiences and cultural factors to a situation and new information is constructed from prior
    Next knowledge.
    4. Learners construct their own Overview of Constructivism understanding and knowledge of
    the world through experiencing things and reflecting Learning is an active, on those experiences.
    contextualized process of constructing knowledge rather than acquiring Information must be
    mentally acted it. on, manipulated, and transformed by learners in order to have meaning.
    5. Theorists SupportingConstructivism Jean Piaget (1896-1980): Stages of Cognitive
    Development John Dewey (1859-1952): Progressive Education Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934):
    Social Development Theory Jerome Bruner (1915 -) Discovery Learning Theory
    6. Piagets Theory of Cognitive Development Piaget proposed that cognitive development
    followed an invariant sequence from infancy through adolescence. His particular insight was the
    role of maturation in children increasing capacity to understand their world: they cannot
    undertake certain tasks until they are psychologically mature enough to do so.
    7. Piagets Four Stages of CognitiveDevelopment Sensori-motor (Birth-2 yrs) Differentiates self
    from objects Recognizes self as agent of action and begins to act intentionally: e.g. pulls a string
    to set mobile in motion or shakes a rattle to make a noise. Achieves object permanence: realizes
    that things continue to exist even when no longer present or seen. Pre-operational (2-7 years)
    Learns to use language and to represent objects by images and words. Thinking is still
    egocentric: has difficulty taking the viewpoint of others. Classifies objects by a single feature:
    e.g. groups together all the red blocks regardless of shape or all the square blocks regardless of
    color.
    8. Concrete operational Piagets Four Stages of Cognitive Development (7-11 years) Can think
    logically about objects and events. Achieves conservation of number (age 6), mass (age 7), and
    weight (age 9). Classifies objects according to several features and can order them in series along
    a single dimension Formal operational such as size. (11 years and up) Can think logically about
    abstract propositions and test hypotheses systematically. Becomes concerned with the
    hypothetical, the future, and ideological problems.
    9. How Constructivism is Applied in the Classroom Teachers should have lessons where handson experimentation, problem solving, logical reasoning, and authentic learning are emphasized.
    Teachers should generally behave in an interactive manner mediating the environment for
    students where student questions are highly valued.
    10. How Constructivism is Applied in the Classroom Teachers should seek the students point of
    view in order to understand student learning for use in subsequent lessons. Assessment of
    student learning should be interwoven with teaching and occur through teacher observation of
    students at work and through presentations and portfolios.
    11. My Constructivist Classroom In order to follow the principles behind constructive cognitive
    development I will incorporate the following strategies in my classroom: Provide scaffolding to
    extend students Zone of Proximal Development Involved students in activities which engage
    the mind as well as the hands.
    12. My Constructivist Classroom Continued: Have students work in groups often initiate group
    discussions and debates allowing students to share their own thoughts and opinions.
