Understanding a Constructivist
Prior to beginning this assignment, please review all the required readings, videos, and any relevant Instructor Guidance. It is suggested that you review the recommended resources for this week as a number of them may assist you in creating this written assignment with links to applicable articles.
Please note that for many of you, this might be the first time to write a paper about someone you have no current information about. Thus, it is very important that you know how to synthesize information so that it is your work, and not accidentally someone else’s. One suggestion as you begin to read about one of the researchers is to just jot down notes about them as you read. Be careful not to copy paste information into a document with intentions of re-writing it. Sometimes areas get forgotten and when your writing matches other sources, it can negatively affect not only your grade, but also your entire academic journey, so please heed this advice and ask for assistance from your instructor if you need it. Thus, we have included a link to a guide that could be very assistive in your success.
Over the past weeks, you have been introduced to Behaviorism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism in relationship to learning psychology. To further expand your knowledge and understanding of Constructivism and its theoretical components/principles, in this paper you will research and write about one of the prominent constructivists listed below:
John Dewey (1859–1952)

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.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

7. • Spelling is important so that a reader can process the
communication as quickly and easily as possible.
• What happens if you don’t spell correctly?
• Have a look at the “spell chequer” here on the next slide
8.
9. • A common argument from students is ”I don’t know what
to write – I have no imagination”
Look around yourself – what in your immediate field of
vision can trigger your imagination?
Can you think of related things that have happened
recently to yourself or anyone you know of?
Is the given topic something that does not interest you in
anyway? Why?
Make a mindmap with ideas.

11. • Linking words are words you use to connect sentences or parts of
sentences. By using linking words you express yourself more clearly and
the reader finds it easier to understand your ideas. The more formal the
text is the more linking words are required.
• Here is a list of useful linking words you canuse:
Group 2 – Reason/Cause linkers (”because”,
”as”)
Group 1 – Result linkers (”so”) Since
Therefore As a result of*
That is why In view of*
For this/that reason Because of*
Consequently Due to*
hence Owing to*
Thanks to*
* Must be followed by a noun, a pronoun or an ”ing-form” verb.
12. * These are just a few examples of linking words. Ask your teacher for more!
*These linkers should be followed by a comma if they come at the beginning of a statement. Sometimes if they come in the
middle of a sentence, we put commas both before and after.
13. • Tip! Do not confuse:
What’s more, moreover and in addition
with
Besides
• What’s more, moreover and in addition add extra information.
Example: I reckon this is the car I should buy as it’s cheap enough and not really so old.
What’s more, it’s just been re-sprayed.
• Besides adds another argument that is shown as being stronger than the other ones
mentioned.
Example: I reckon this is the car i should buy as it’s not so old, and it’s just been re-
sprayed. Besides, it’s the only one I can afford.
• Note that besides can also be used as a preposition, in which case it must take an ing-
form verb.
Example: Besides having the right price, what attracted me to the car was its new re-
spray.
14. Try to learn as many linking words as possible! Use them
in writing as well as speaking. This will help you improve
your English instantly. The more you force yourself to
write academically with advanced language, the more
natural it will come to you and in the end you will not
even think about it!
Have a look at the following two sentences:
She felt weak after her illness, but she turned up for the
exam and managed to pass.
She felt weak after her illness; nevertheless, she turned up
for the exam and managed to pass.
Which one looks more professional to you?
15. Write a story about anything. Use one of the phrases
below to start off your text. Try to use as many linking
words as possible. In a normal situation you might not
use as many in one place, but this is for practicing, so
that you get used to using them.
•The day I found…
•My great grandfather always used to say…
•When she opened the refrigerator…
•After three years of searching finally…
