Social Constructivism

It is believed that knowledge rather than being innate, is constructed built on from prior knowledge as that knowledge influences what new or modified knowledge the learner will construct from a new learning experience. Learning is an active process rather than being a passive process, this means that teachers see learners as ‘empty vessels’ that can be filled with knowledge, and it can be done socially as learning is social even though all learners have their own distinctive point of view.

Connectivism

It is believed that learners create their own knowledge through understanding their experiences. The learner is not viewed as an empty vessel but rather sees the learner actively creating their own meaning to their knowledge. Constructivist principles acknowledge that real-life learning is messy and complex. Classrooms which emulate the “fuzziness” of this learning will be more effective in preparing learners for life-long learning.

What is social constructivism?
Social constructivism entails that knowledge is constructed socially, through human activity, whereby individuals create meaning through interactions with each other.

Give an example of how you will use it in your maths class
Through interactive learning whereby learners are engaging actively with the content, resources and with their classmates.

What do you understand about connectivism?
Connectivism is the integration of knowledge from different information sources.

Social Constructivism is when students learn through the interaction with others. Through participation they begin to form their own understanding. This can be achieved through group work and games within the classroom, where learners can interact with one another.

I view constructivism as bringing in real life factors into the learning environment, and social constructivism is when you allow learners to talk to each other about the real life factor.

Knowledge learnt through interaction with fellow peers and/or the teacher. The interaction allows learners to create their own understanding of concepts.

Social interaction increases knowledge as you learn through interactions in your classroom. For example, giving learners an activity to do and letting their peer mark the work. The learners will then discuss each others work and help correct their mistakes.

social constructivism is using the method of learning through experiences and integrating with socialising therefore giving learners the opportunity to learn and form connections by discussing, debating and role playing with their peers

Social constuctivism relies on social interaction between learners and teachers. it is interesting to think what will happen to this theory now that we are learning online especially for the pre primary children

I believe that knowledge is learnt through social interaction, for example when in school we interact with our teachers and lecturers in order to gain knowledge.
As a teacher it is vital to interact with the learners, asking them questions and allowing them to speak creating a social interaction and building their social skills as well as building their confidence within their work.

Social constructivism  is where human development is socially situated and knowledge is constructed through interaction with others. i would use this is my maths classroom by pair up my learners and putting them into groups to allow them to work together and brainstorm ideas of what they think they can understand from the content and give me feedback. I understand constructivism as the ability to get learners to understand the work and actively engage in your classroom and the content that is being taught

Social constructivism  explains that people learn new things or build on the knowledge they already have as they interact with others, use the same mode of communication. Teachers can use this in the classroom as a way for learners to think outside the box, come up with their own understanding, answer the questions of other learners instead of the teacher and this will all learners to develop their social skills as well as cement in their understanding of the work.

Social constructivism is about knowledge being developed through social interaction or as a results of societies actions.
Relating content to current social situations is a good way to use social constructivism in the classroom. For example, the explosion in Lebanon. Ask learners questions about that, then ask how big do they think the building was, what shape was the building, then move on to speak about shapes.

Social constructivism allows learners to actively participate to create their own understanding through shared interactions with their peers. in a Math classroom  a teachers would give groups of learners a series of questions to answer in a group and allow learners to solve them together with their understanding, this will allow learners to enhance their understanding and for learners who do not understand it will be an opportunity to gain understanding.

Connectivism is a form of learner-centered teaching which takes into account on how digital technology can be used in a classroom to enhance teaching and learning

Social constructivism teaches that all knowledge develops as a result of social interaction and language use, and is therefore a shared, rather than an individual, experience.Teachers should allow their students to come up with their own questions, make their own theories, and test them for viability. an example could be that the teacher can get the learners to make their own worksheet and get their friends to answer it this would allow the learners to ask different questions at their own level and the learners can be involved. Connectivism is a form of a learner-centered teaching perspective, Connectivism provides opportunities for students to make choices about their learning as well as promotes group collaboration and discussion, allowing for different viewpoints and perspectives to aid in problem-solving, decision-making, and making sense of information.
