CONSTRUCTIVISM
Falian
OVERVIEW
   Constructivism is the theory that people construct their
    own understanding and knowledge of the world, through
    facing things and reflecting on those experiences. When
    learners encounter something new, they settle it with
    previous knowledge and experience. They may change
    what they believe, or they may discard the new
    information as irrelevant. To be active inventors of their
    knowledge however, they must be able to ask questions,
    explore and assess what they know. In the classroom,
    the constructivist view of learning means inspiring
    students to use active techniques such as experiments
    and real-world problem solving using true data if
    possible, and to create knowledge and reflect on their
    understanding.

JEAN PIAGET
   Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematic
    study of cognitive development.
    His contributions include a theory of cognitive child
    development, detailed observational studies of cognition
    in children, and a series of simple but ingenious tests to
    reveal different cognitive abilities.
   Before Piaget’s work, the common assumption in
    psychology was that children are merely less competent
    thinkers than adults.
    Piaget showed that young children think in strikingly
    different ways compared to adults. According to Piaget,
    children are born with a very basic mental structure on
    which all subsequent learning and knowledge is based.
PAIGET’S THREE COMPONENTS FOR
COGNITIVE THEORY

 Schemas
 (building blocks of knowledge)

 Processes that enable the transition from one stage
  to another (equilibrium, assimilation and
  accommodation)
 Stages of Development:

 sensorimotor

 preoperational

 concrete operational

 formal operational
