This document discusses the constructivism theory of learning. It defines constructivism as a theory that emphasizes active learning where students construct their own understanding through experiences and interactions. There are two main types: cognitive constructivism based on Piaget which states knowledge is built from cognitive structures; and social constructivism based on Vygotsky which emphasizes collaborative learning through social and cultural interactions. The document provides examples of constructivist approaches like problem-based learning, inquiry-based learning and collaborative learning. It outlines benefits like critical thinking, collaboration skills, and personalized learning. Overall, constructivism recognizes that students actively participate in building understanding through hands-on activities and social interactions.
Explain constructivism theory, starting by a definition of the theory and then the type of constructivism theory such as cognitive constructivism and social constructivism, also explains approaches that can be implemented in the classroom
Constructivism Learning Theory: A Paradigm for Teaching and Learningiosrjce
Constructivism represents one of the big ideas in education. Its implications for how teachers teach
and learn to teach are enormous. If our efforts in reforming education for all students are to succeed, then we
must focus on students. To date, a focus on student-centered learning may well be the most important
contribution of constructivism. This article, therefore, discusses constructivism learning theory as a paradigm
for teaching and learning. Constructivism is a learning theory found in psychology which explains how people
might acquire knowledge and learn. It therefore has direct application to education. The theory suggests that
humans construct knowledge and meaning from their experiences. Conceptual understanding of the theory was
discussed as well as basic characteristics of constructivists learning environment. Seven pedagogical goals of
constructivist learning environments and six benefits of constructivism were outlined in this article. Significant
differences between traditional classroom and constructivist classroom were spelt out in a tabular form.
Furthermore,principles of constructivism and several implications of constructivism for teaching and
learningwere reviewed. The study, therefore, concluded that teachers need to reflect on their practice in order
to apply these ideas to their work and that constructivist teachers encourage students to constantly assess how
the activity is helping them gain understanding

Constructivism a Methodical Learning ApproachRajeev Ranjan
Constructivism is a valid teaching strategy that employs five basic “Es” that is ‘engagement’, ‘exploration’, ‘explanation’, ‘elaboration’, and ‘evaluation’. Educators prime duty to facilitate learning opportunities for students. In fact, a great facilitator who handles the 21st century global learners should be wise enough to facilitates learning in the class considering the pressure of 21st century learner’s smartness, who operates very sophisticated software and apps but least interested in classroom learning.
Knowledge construction is a dialectical process, which involves systematisation of various facts through dynamic interactions between individuals and the environment. Knowledge creation is a spiral that goes through seemingly opposing concepts such as order and chaos, micro-macro, part-whole, mind and body, tacit and explicit, deduction and induction, and creativity-efficiency. There is need to understand that knowledge creation is a transcending process through which entities (individuals, groups, and institutions) go beyond the boundary of the old into a self-acquiring new knowledge. Learners work with their knowledge such that they link their new knowledge to their existing knowledgebase.
ABSTRACT : Teaching and learning is an infinite process. The process takes change by the time as according to the need of learner himself and societal needs. Now-a-days there is a vogue of using experiences in learning. The approach which is related to using experiences and correlate them with ones daily life is known as constructivism. Constructivist learning is based on students’ active participation in problem solving and critical thinking. It is affected by many school of ideas like Pragmatism, Existentialism and Reconstructionism with minor differences. It is a natural process of teaching and learning where teacher, learner, curriculum and assessment all revolves round the reality. It affects learners, social, psychological and emotional aspects to full extent. It is helpful in learning without burden. The purpose of this approach is to learn and teach happily and practically.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2. DEFINITION OF CONSTRUCTIVISM
THEORY IN LEARNING
Constructivism is a learning theory that
emphasizes the active role of learners in
building their own understanding. It suggests
that learners construct knowledge rather than
passively receiving information. According to
constructivism, learning is an active process
where learners reflect on their experiences,
create mental representations, and incorporate
new knowledge into their existing schemas.
3. VARIESTES OF CONSRUCTIVISM
Cognitive constructivism is based on
the work of Jean Piaget. It states that
knowledge is actively constructed by
learners based on their existing
cognitive structures. Learning is relative
to the learner's stage of cognitive
development.
COGNITIVE CONSTRUCTIVISM
• Sensorimotor Stage (Birth to 2
years old)
• Preoperational Stage (2 to 7 years
old)
• Concrete Operational Stage (7 to
11 years old)
• Formal Operational Stage (11 years
old and beyond)
PIAGET’S FOUR STAGES OF COGNITIVE
Development
4. VARIESTES OF CONSRUCTIVISM
SOCIAL CONSTRACTIVISM
Social constructivism is based on the
work of Lev Vygotsky. It emphasizes
that learning is a collaborative process
and knowledge develops from
individuals' interactions with their
culture and society.
5. In PBL, students are presented with real-world problems or scenarios that require them to apply
their knowledge and skills to find solutions.
EXAMPLES OF CONSTRUCTIVISM
APPROCHES
PROBLEM-BASED LEARNING (PBL)
INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING
In this approach, students are encouraged to ask questions, investigate topics of interest, and seek
answers through research and exploration.
Constructivism emphasizes the importance of social interaction and collaboration in
the learning process.
6. Constructivism theory suggests that assessments should reflect real-world tasks and challenges.

SCAFFOLDING:
Scaffolding is a teaching technique that provides support and guidance to students as they learn
new concepts or skills.
8. CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Constructivism is an educational theory that emphasizes the active role
of students in constructing knowledge. This theory emphasizes the importance of
authentic experiences, social interactions, and the integration of previous knowledge
in the learning process. By engaging in hands-on activities, collaborative projects, and
reflective practice, learners actively participate in building their understanding of the
world. Constructivism also recognizes the social nature of learning and promotes
dialogue, debate, and collaboration as a means of forming understanding and
developing higher-order thinking skills. Additionally, constructivism encourages
students to take an active role in their learning, fostering critical thinking, problem-
solving skills, and metacognitive awareness. Overall, by incorporating constructivist
principles into teaching practices, educators can create engaging learning
environments that facilitate deep understanding and lifelong learning.
