How would you know you are applying the right method ? What are some guidelines?

# data[].attributes.body
Getting to know the students and their past to see how to help would be a way of applying this method ? It puts in perspective their own experiences

# data[].attributes.body
Constructivism,  then,  is a philosophy that views knowledge  as a subjective process  that is shaped and structured by one’s experiences.?

How can we use constructivism if we are just getting to know some of these students?

How can this be incorporated into formal assessment

I can ask questions based on previous knowledge and help the students grow from there.

How does this work look like when we work with parents? Do we encourage the use of constructivism at home?

I can incorporate constructivism into the planning curriculum process

I can encourage students to write/draw out their thought process in order for them to later reference and learn from their notes.

When is the time for teaching "constructing knowledge" and when is the time for teaching "universal truths" (i.e. George Washington was the first president)? If every student is making up their own knowledge, what's actually true? Is anything true, or is everything just based on the constructed truth that someone has made based on their experiences?

Shelby: Constructivism can be used as the frameword for an entire lesson or unit, and it can also be used in the way we think about interacting with students and building a community culture in which students value each other's knowledge.

How can I effectively measure understanding during DL?
How can I make constructivism equitable to all?

I can use it by helping students identify healthy coping skills based on the skills they have already build or used. We can use this model together to reflect and build our toolbox.

I learned that constructivism shows children that there are many ways to solve problems.

I can make sure I give my students the opportunities and experiences that help them construct their knowledge.

Shelby: The idea of constructivism has around for a very long time. The education world didn't officially recognize the term until 1977.

The Interactive Lecture - a way to integrate constructivism in a lecture (makes me think of college classes and they can integrate constructivism, even as they "impart knowledge")

I learned that Constructivism restructures how a person thinks and is based of building what someone already knows and adding to that knowledge.

in person, learning music and exploring the learning of music theory, performance, and projects is very constructivist as students are forced into a trial and error situation. But the real learning occurs when students discover the right and wrong way of music making. How can implement this in my distance teaching?

# data[].attributes.body
I do incorporate constructivism as I think less about content and more about learners' interactions in the world around them

# data[].attributes.body
People do not discover knowledge, they construct it based on experiences

Constructivism is  actually a philosophy and theory and not pedagogy.

When it comes to note taking in a constructivist learning environment, “partial notes empower the students to view the thought process of the teacher but to also encode using their own notes”.

Shelby: How can we make sure we are checking for understanding frequently enough and using authentic and effective assessments to ensure that we are providing additional support for children that may be falling behind or that may need more direct and individualized support.

Shelby: Constructivism gives ownership to the students and creates buy-in because the learning becomes a joyful and collaborative experience where mistakes are celebrated as opportunities for everyone to learn.

I wonder how to expand and build it further

# data[].attributes.body
I see constructivism as a tool of empowerment - I think of Paolo Freire and the tools we might use for people to see that they all have something to bring, and to feel self empowered enough to think through their learning and solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
I wonder if there is a way for students to lead their own constructivist learning after observing a teacher do it. I also wonder how this can be done in an effective way during Distance Learning.

We use our world of experiences to create our understanding

I wonder how I can build these concepts into an online counseling platform.

We are more used to traditional models, where folks think students are "empty vessels" that we need to "pour" knowledge into. So that might look like memorizing things, sitting through lectures as a everyday norm, and teacher-centered instruction. Students who are used to this model tend to feel uncomfortable, at least initially with the idea of constructivism.

I wonder how to carry a consistent constructivist model in a classroom that may change due to numerous challenges.

I wonder how teachers can put constructivism and academic rigor together to help students learn.

Sometimes I wonder if there is a singular truth, and how constructivism might help us get to that or not - basically, how does constructivism intersect with "objective truths" if it is constructed by the self.

I wonder how can we use constructivism during distance learning?

Constructivism is an active and engaged learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
Constructivism is based on connecting personal experiences with knowledge.

# data[].attributes.body
An approach that allows students to explore and learn by breaking down the process of learning, asking questions, modeling, and coming to conclusions. Allows students to challenge their understanding of what they seeing.

# data[].attributes.body
Constructivism is using personal experiences to help students learn.

# data[].attributes.body
Start with what the students know and build off of it.

To construct - how I learn, and understand something new - I grapple with it, in order to understand. It is not passive. I must fully engage with it, de/construct it, and make meaning from that.
