Constructivism

Philosophy of education

QuestionAnswer
What is Constructivism? A theory about how people learn.
Constructivist Classroom Both teacher and students think of knowledge not as inert factoids to be memorized, but as a dynamic, ever-changing view of the world we live in and the ability to successfully stretch and explore that view
How does the student learn? Learning is interactive, building on what the student already knows.
Jerome Bruner (Theorist) Learning is an active process in which learners construct new ideas or concepts based upon their current/past knowledge.
Principles of learning One needs knowledge to learn: it is not possible to assimilate new knowledge without having some structure developed from previous knowledge to build on.
Jean Piaget Covered learning theories, teaching methods, and education reform. Two of the key components which create the construction of an individual's new knowledge are accommodation and assimilation.
Assimilating An individual incorporates new experiences into the old experiences. This causes the individual to develop new outlooks, rethink what were once misunderstandings, and evaluate what is important, ultimately altering their perceptions.
Accommodation reframing the world and new experiences into the mental capacity already present. Individuals conceive a particular fashion in which the world operates.
Teacher's role according to Piaget Instead of giving a lecture the teachers in this theory function as facilitators whose role is to aid the student when it comes to their own understanding.
Schema Mental representation of an associated set of perceptions, ideas, and/or actions. Piaget considered schemata to be the basic building blocks of thinking
