13. CONSTRUCTIVISM
new ideas occur as we adapt and change
our old ideas
learning, in an important way,
depends on what we already know
draws on the develomental work of Piaget (1977) and Kelly (1991). Twomey Fosnot (1989)
Audrey Gray “'The Road to Knowledge is
Always Under Construction': A Life History
Journey to Constructivist Teaching".
meaningful learning occurs through
rethinking old ideas and coming to new
conclusions about new ideas which conflict
with our old ideas
learning involves inventing ideas rather than
mechanically accumulating facts
A productive, constructivist classroom, then, consists of learner-centered, active instruction. In such a
classroom, the teacher provides students with experiences that allow them to hypothesize, predict,
manipulate objects, pose questions, research, investigate, imagine, and invent. The teacher's role is to
facilitate this process.
