Module 3
Recall the best moments you had in your science class when you were in elementary. What
were you doing? What was your lesson? What made it the best moment?
The best moments that I had in our science class is when I am Grade 3.I was like every
lessons taught by my science teacher is I am going to memorize because in another day
she had a recall lesson on what have learned on yesterday topics.The best lesson I still
remember and my likely is about the "Animal & Plant Life Cycles" and of course what
made it the best moment is after we have a discussion we do some activities about the
lesson and I got a perfect score in that activity.
Constructivist teaching is built upon five major principles, which explain how
constructivist classrooms are different from traditional classrooms.
Unlike traditional teaching, where students are expected to provide the one right answer the
teacher is looking for, in a constructivist classroom students are encouraged to elaborate on
their ideas and use evidence to bolster their opinions. Through supportive questioning,
teachers can get students to communicate what they're thinking and why.
Through constructivism, students are encouraged to explore an aspect of something that they
haven't tried or thought about before. Whether that's a new product (such as writing a
screenplay instead of an essay) or a new point of view, constructivist teaching is about
challenging and broadening student views.
There are certain essential concepts that students need to learn, such as understanding cause
and effect, critically analyzing documents, or inquiry-based exploration. Lessons in
constructivist classrooms are built to encourage mastery of these essential concepts or big
ideas.
Traditionally, teachers give information for a certain amount of time and then hand out a test
to see if students learned the content. In constructivist teaching, assessment is about spending
time every day focusing on what still needs to happen for student success. Assessments are
often authentic and in-the-moment, such as discussion questions or collaborative projects.
