wk 4 - Learning Theories: Constructivism

 
 

Constructivism

  • Premise that humans generate knowledge and meaning from experience, transforming our world from chaos to order.
  • Learning process is adoptive process by humans  when information comes into contact with existing knowledge that had been generated from previous experiences.
  • Learner requires assistance with discovery, hands-on, experiential, collaborative, project-based, and task-based learning are a number of applications that base teaching and learning on constructivism.
  • This theory has  roots in cognitive psychology and biology and an approach to education that lays emphasis on the ways knowledge is created while exploring the world.
