What is Constructivism and how does learning happen? by lilis surienty

It says that people construct their own understanding and knowledge of the world, through experiencing things and reflecting on those experiences. ---- Basically it is how we acquire knowledge - observe, analyse and organise and share that 'knowledge".

Thus in this way we all contribute to new knowledge.

Constructivism

Dr Lilis:

OK..so how do we then need to to do to make the presented or current environment not detached or subjective to the learner

children's play and exploration is crucial for the learning process

Constructivism is a learning theory found in psychology which explains how people might acquire knowledge and learn. It therefore has direct application to education. The theory suggests that humans construct knowledge and meaning from their experiences.

School must give a love of learning and skills to find knowledge, rather then content knowledge.

Learning engine and how learning happen

Constructivist teachers encourage students to constantly assess how the activity is helping them gain understanding. By questioning themselves and their strategies, students in the constructivist classroom ideally become "expert learners." This gives them ever-broadening tools to keep learning. With a well-planned classroom environment, the students learn HOW TO LEARN.

active process in which the learner uses sensory input and constructs meaning out of it.

Learning is achieved through experience

Social constructivism not only acknowledges the uniqueness and complexity of the learner, but actually encourages, utilizes and rewards it as an integral part of the learning process (Wertsch 1997).

Because constructivism points out that experiential learning is more powerful than lectures and worksheets, a related view is that by directing their own learning process, students will understand concepts better than if they were just handed the right way to do things.

encourages the learner to arrive at his or her version of the truth, influenced by his or her background, culture or embedded worldview.

emphasizes the importance of the learner being actively involved in the learning process, unlike previous educational viewpoints where the responsibility rested with the instructor to teach and where the learner played a passive, receptive role.

learners actively construct meaning by building on background knowledge, experience and reflect on those experiences.

Constructivism is a theory of knowledge that argues that humans generate knowledge and meaning from an interaction between their experiences and their ideas. Learning happens when learners can relate themselves on the knowledge.
