CONSTRUCTIVIST PEDAGOGY
CONSTRUCTIVIST PEDAGOGY: Learning And Teaching by Joseph Zajda Australia Catholic
University (Melbourne Campus)
Constructivist Pedagogy is a associated with the theory of learning that has roots
in both philosophy and psychology. The essentials cores of constructivism is that
the learner actively construct their own knowledge skills and meanings from the
experience (Foshot 1996,stefte &Gale 1995.
Constructivism has become the parlance educator, education policy maker and
curriculum specialist and cotructivism is change of landscape of the classroom
instructions. And it is presented in a multiple challenge to developing standards,
designed instructional models, deciding appropriate pedagogical.
There fore I included they constructivist Pedagogy is focuses on student learning
which is they are develop their abilities on participating of the process of their
knowledge , morizing of a different information . May be the learners have own
ideas based on their understanding.

SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
Socal constructivist
Implications on Teaching and Learning published by ECRTD
Social Constructivism could be apply inside the classroom using instructional
methods, such as research paper , case studies problem based on learning
brainstorming, group work, cooperative learning. Maybe the teacher searching a way
for the learners will be involved to each other especially when the teacher make a
group by dividing a students, the teacher can act as a facilitator for guiding the
students becausse a constructivist is focuses Lerner centerd.
It allows to range of grouping and interaction of the student to. This may be
included about the participants of the student specially in the grouping ,you need
to see the collaboration of every student that they work together for they will be
change their ideas or sharing their ideas and that point they Easy toget
understand.
Therrefore I conclude , that social Constructivism is about the learner centered
which is they to develop their knowledge skills based on their understanding about
the concept.

RADICAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
Radical Constructivism is a pricely articulately this ideas when he said"knowledge
is a knowledge of knower of the external word improving knowledg means improving
its viabilityor fit in but not much with an external world by staver 1995.
Radical Constructivism on other hand it Believe that aquisition of knowledge is an
adapted process that could be attributed from the active cognition of individua an
experentially based on mindl .
It's means that is an international nature of knowledge . Also it recognize the
existence of an external reality that unknowable to the individual since experience
formed is medetiated by sense d the letter is not adopt an interpreting an exact of
these external formed.
Therefore I conclude radical is constructed by experience and is not accurately
representation of the external world of reality. Knowledge is not objective Truth
rather a vailble model of experience these model are created with an individual and
influence by various concept.

classroom which is related about humat lived . On her the learners had critical
thinking and reflection about what they study this day.
CHALLENGE
Direction: Enumerate and explain the basic tenets of Constructivism as an
educational philosophy.
Knowledge is not possively accumulated but rather is the results of active
cognizing by individual.
Cognition is an adapted process that function to make an individual more viable
given in a particular environment
Cognition is organizes and make sense of one's experiences is not a process to
render accurate presentation of reality.
Knowing has roots in both biological neurological construction and Social, culture,
and language based on interaction.
