   Jean Piaget (1896-1980)
    ◦ Profoundly influenced the constructivist movement
    ◦ Believed children were active learners
    ◦ Children constructed new knowledge as they moved
      through different cognitive stages.
    ◦ Four cognitive stages
      Sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete
       operational, formal operational
   Jerome Bruner (1915-?)
    ◦ Proposed learning is an active process
    ◦ Learners construct new ideas or concepts based on
      current or past knowledge
    ◦ Technology offers many strategies
    ◦ Teacher’s role should be to encourage students
      through exploration and inquiry
   Lev Vygotsky (1896-1934)
    ◦ Developed social cognition
    ◦ Theorized that learning took place within the
      context of a child’s social development and culture
    ◦ He proposed that children have a zone of proximal
      development
    ◦ Teachers should discover the level of each child’s
      social development and build learning experiences
      from this point
   John Dewey (1859-1952)
    ◦ Encouraged educators to reflect on their strategies
      and create activities that combine concrete and
      practical relevance to students’ lives
    ◦ Believed education was a social process
    ◦ Viewed learning as student-directed with a teacher
      serving as a guide for resources
    ◦ Believed in progressive education or educating the
      whole child, physically, mentally, and socially
   “Constructivism is an
    active, constructive process.
    The learner is an
    information constructor.
    People actively construct or
    create their own subjective
    representations of objective
    reality.”1
   Students learn by doing.
   The students learn HOW to
    learn.
   “Teachers help students to
    construct knowledge rather
    than to reproduce a series
    of facts.”2
   With Technology
    ◦ Can recommend the use of computers for research.
   Without Technology
    ◦ Encourage students to use real-world examples
    ◦ Understands students conceptions and guides the
      student with activities to address them and build on
      them.
   With technology
    ◦ Use a computer to write
      up findings from a lab.
    ◦ Use electronic flashcards
    ◦ Create spreadsheets to
      show data collected
   Without technology
    ◦ Build models out of clay
      or other artistic
      equipment
Since I’m planning on
being a math
teacher, could
incorporate the
constructivist theory into
my class by having the
students use a
smartboard to include
technology. I could also
have students set up
their own example
problems and quiz each
other.
