Editor's Notes
- In a study on the use of constructivism in the classroom, Carpenter developed criteria for teachers and students involved in a constructivist learning curriculum. She concluded that: Teachers who apply a constructivist learning system in their classes might: Ask open-ended questions, allow time for students to respond, all student responses to drive lessons, encourage open communication in the classroom, focus on students’ thinking, rather than on whether they answer questions correctly, appraise learning, facilitate classroom discussions, set learning goals, and provide opportunities for students to represent their knowledge. Students who receive constructivist learning might: Explore, invent, discover, and apply new ideas and knowledge, construct their own learning, work in groups, discuss ideas with others, asses their own work, and reflect on what they learn.
