M
An Overview
BEFORE WE BEGIN
How do you learn?
How do you come to understand something
new?
Write on a piece of paper and add more as we
go along today. Keep the list running.
CONSTRUCTIVISM IS…
 A learning theory
 A theory of how people gain
knowledge
 Based on observation and scientific
study and supported by decades of
research
BELIEFS OF CONSTRUCTIVISM
 People build or construct their own understanding, knowledge and
learning. (clay)
 People learn best by a repeated and active process of experience
and reflection.
 When people come across new information, they have to figure
out how and where it fits in or does not fit in with their existing
knowledge.
 People are active creators of their own knowledge. To do this,
they must ask questions, explore, and assess their own
knowledge.
CONSTRUCTIVISM IS NOT…
And….
AND IS CERTAINLY NOT…
