    Constructivism 1

    Constructivism is a learning theory based on the premise that individuals construct their own understanding and knowledge through experiences and reflecting on those experiences. It involves active learning where students collaborate, solve problems, and take ownership of the learning process. Key aspects include students actively building on prior knowledge and experiences, learning by doing, and instructors serving as guides. Major contributors include Piaget, Vygotsky, Dewey, who emphasized cognitive development stages, social interactions in learning, and learning by doing respectively. Constructivism is applied through hands-on learning, inquiry-based lessons, and scenario-based learning. Critics argue it can be difficult to implement and some findings lack evidence of its effectiveness.

    Presentation
    1. The theory considers whether material is relevant to needs and
    goals of the learner
    2. The theory includes consideration as to whether material and/or
    presentation/stimulus is novel, is something new and interesting
    to the learner
    3. The theory concerns itself with the presentation approach being
    intrinsically pleasant/interesting/stimulating/ thought provoking
    4. The theory informs with respect to areas such as wording, visuals,
    audio, language being manageable and useable to the receiving
    group or individual

    Practice
    1. The theory supports opportunities being provided to develop
    proficiency in application of the skill, knowledge, ability or concept
    2. The theory requires that practice is relevant to needs and goals of
    the learner
    3. The theory covers self-assessment or assessment by other means
    that evidences that the Learner can see that skill/competency
    acquisition is taking place
    4. The theory requires practice activities that are within or slightly
    above the learner’s competency level
