Constructivism
So
what is constructivism?
Constructivism is a learning theory that emphasizes student agency
through self-guided exploration, reflection, and evaluation.
What constructivism allows is to make students go get the information needed
through internet, books, and magazines and preceding all the information by themselves.
What I found interesting in this lesion is the comparison between old
ways of teaching and the new models. This kind of self-learning is more
adaptable by young teachers who don’t seem to mind to leave the floor and let
their students shine and show all their talents in teaching.
On the contrary old teachers like the old methods where the teacher is
the resource, the monitor the prompter and the students just take notes and it
is asked just sometimes not all the times.
Well I personally go for constructivism, I like the connection that
students make with each other the way they elaborate their own opinions, and
most of all the way they see their teacher, as a supporter.
I think some of the benefits to
constructivist are :
1.
It’s active.
I
think this gives the student the right to express their own feeling, even when
they are wrong.
2.
It develops advanced skills such as
critical thinking, analysis, evaluation, and creation.
I
think that in this environment the student gets to see the bigger picture, also
I think the student tries and see in which they are proficient.
3.
It promotes diverse viewpoints.
I
think in a debate or discussions they exchange their opinions and also get to
see what the others think and in this way they don’t see right or wrong, but
just a way of thinking.
