Constructivist Theory BEED 2101

Constructivist theory proposes that students actively construct their own knowledge through experiences and interactions with their environment rather than passively receiving information from teachers. This document discusses key aspects of constructivist teaching in mathematics including using models like the CRA model to transition students from concrete to abstract concepts, employing techniques like mathematical modeling to investigate real-world problems, and utilizing frameworks like the 5E lesson model and cooperative learning. Research shows constructivist approaches can increase students' problem-solving abilities and sense of ownership over their learning.
