CONSTRUCTIVISM

Presented By : Ellen Mae Dayon

 CONSTRUCTIVISM
Constructivism in the philosophy of education
is a belief that learners actively construct their
own knowledge and understanding of the world
through their experiences, interactions, and
reflections. It asserts that learners are not
passive recipients of information, but rather
active participants in the learning process.
 CONSTRUCTIVISM
Constructivism recognizes the importance of
learners' prior knowledge and experiences.
New information is assimilated and integrated
into existing mental frameworks or schemas,
allowing learners to build upon their existing
understanding and make connections between
concepts.
WHY TEACH?
In constructivism, teaching in this
philosophy of education promotes
active engagement, critical thinking,
meaningful learning, social interaction,
and the development of problem-
solving and metacognitive skills.

WHY TEACH?
Teaching in constructivism is essential
because it empowers students to actively
construct their own knowledge, think
critically, collaborate with peers, apply
learning to real-world contexts, and develop
lifelong learning skills necessary for success
in an ever-changing world. 2
WHAT TO TEACH?
In constructivism, teach students to
actively construct knowledge through
hands-on activities, problem-solving,
inquiry-based learning, reflection,
collaboration, and connecting learning
to real-life contexts. 2
WHAT TO TEACH?
In constructivism, specific topics to teach
include active learning strategies, problem-
solving skills, inquiry-based learning, reflection
and metacognition, social interaction and
collaboration, connecting learning to real-
world contexts, multiple perspectives, and
fostering self-directed learning skills. 2
AS A TEACHER:
you can teach constructivism by creating a learner-
centered environment, facilitating active engagement and
participation, guiding students in problem-solving and
inquiry-based activities, promoting reflection and
metacognition, fostering social interaction and
collaboration, connecting learning to real-world contexts,
encouraging exploration of multiple perspectives, and
supporting students in developing self-directed learning
skills through autonomy and goal-setting.
 In a constructivist approach to philosophy of
education, at the end of the learning process, students
must possess critical thinking skills, meaningful
understanding of the subject matter, collaborative and
communication skills, metacognitive awareness,
adaptability and lifelong learning mindset, problem-
solving abilities, curiosity and intellectual engagement,
and confidence and agency in their own learning.
