Constructivistism
|
Constructivism
is a learning theory which is based on research done by Piaget.
Constructivism encompasses the following premises: knowledge is
constructed from experience, learning is a personal interpretation
of the world, learning is an active process of meaning making based
on experience, learning should occur in realistic settings and testing
should be integrated with the task, not a separate activity. Its
educational applications lie in creating curricula to match children's
learning processes. |

A
teaching method in which information or evidence is presented to
students in a way which enables them to progress to new levels of
understanding (after Bruner). Bruner's principles of driven discovery
to learning are sometimes difficult for the student to appreciate.
Guidance is needed to facilitate the learning process with enough
latitude to allow the investigation of side paths. |

John
Dewey

"We sometimes talk as if 'original research'
were a peculiar prerogative of scientists or at least of advanced
students. But all thinking is research, and all research is native,
original, with him who carries it on. It also follows that all
thinking involves a risk. Certainty cannot be guaranteed in advance."

| [Have
you read The Culture of Education by Jerome Bruner. In this
masterly commentary on the possibilities of education, the eminent
psychologist Jerome Bruner reveals how education can usher children
into their culture, though it often fails to do so. Applying the
newly emerging "cultural psychology" to education, Bruner proposes
that the mind reaches its full potential only through participation
in the culture—not just its more formal arts and sciences, but its
way of perceiving, thinking, feeling, and carrying out discourse.
By examining both educational practice and educational theory, Bruner
explores new and rich ways of approaching many of the classical
problems that perplex educators. |
