This document discusses constructivism in relation to learners, teachers, and the teaching-learning process. It explains that constructivism helps understand how children learn and develop intellectually. The philosophy of constructivism gave rise to constructivist learning by shifting education from behaviorism to cognitivism. It then describes different types of constructivism propagated by Piaget, Vygotsky, Von Glaserfeld, and Bruner. The rest of the document contains sample objective type questions related to constructivist theories and the differences between Piaget and Vygotsky's views.

Objective Type Questions........
Q1. Individual constructivism is also known as

1.  Egocentric                                               2. concrete

Student point of view:
Actually, the knowledge belongs to the knower who owns it.

He has to struggle for its acquisition. 

He can be very good at it if he actively engages in knowledge gaining process.

He can be helped directly or indirectly by social and cultural forces/tools existing


in his environment.

For example, The language and guidance provided by the elders. 


Implication of constructivism:

It focuses more on knowledge getting process rather than the product


of knowledge as compared to the traditional classroom teaching.

It requires that learner must take active part in knowledge gaining process


rather than being passive recipients of knowledge learner.

Students should try to infer their own meaning and construct their own knowledge
while interacting within their classroom or social environment.

Constructivism argues and demonstrates that a learner better learns when he


is given opportunities to construct or discover the knowledge by himself. 
Here student construct his knowledge but social tools play key
role in accomplishment of his learning goals.

As the students differ in their prior knowledge and experiences we feel output from
learners also differs.

Teacher has to put them on right track and protecting them to develop false
information.

It tries to encourage all the techniques which are learner centered and encourage
understanding.
HOW YOUR
CONTENT
SHOULD LOOK
LIKE
KNOW YOUR
STUDENTS...
Planning And Development 
Planning the content: Role Play,
In constructivist approach: Teacher and student Quiz, Interview, Audio-Visual act,
together take the decision about content, activities. PPT.

Curriculum: Articles, library
To promote self-work, there should not be a fixed books, online sites
curriculum it should be flexible and accessible.
Learning Activities: Outdoor study,
Science experiment, puzzles,
resource free learning
Learning activities and experiences designed
according to constructivism approach. Conversation with others:
Guest Talk

Planning and developing adequate learning


experiences like group project, conversation with
elders, group discussion.
Plan the activities which creates the state of
disequilibrium in the minds of children.

Provide a task little difficult, new and complex


than their prior knowledge.

Growth And Development


Learning experiences provided to students
should be customized to their prior knowledge
and little above so the feel the requirement to
reconstruct their knowledge.
