Accessing Prior Knowledge - What do I Currently Know About Constructivism? by Grant Naylor https://padlet.com/gnaylor1/k293l4zsipwz Post your initial thoughts and/or ideas about constructivism en-us 2017-07-13 04:01:07 UTC 2025-10-08 12:18:03 UTC hello@padlet.com Constructivism gnaylor1 https://padlet.com/gnaylor1/k293l4zsipwz/wish/178611640 I believe that constructivism is about the development of a learner and was built upon the theories of past educational theorists.

To me it seemed liked a merger of Vygotsky's Social Constructivism and John Dewey's Progressive Education.
