Constructivism

Constructivism is theory on how people are learn. Every person

constructs their own way of understanding and knowledge of the world,
through their experiences and surround environment. Teachers have to
understand they arent only teachers but motivators because not everyone
loves school. Also, theyll need to be encourage to use active techniques
such as real world problems and how thing work (outcomes). Constructivist
teacher (motivator) helps students gain understanding of situations this is
where they become expert learners. A constructivist classroom gives a
student the keys to keep on continuously learning in life. This theory is
looked at as past isnt that important but yet a small factor then moves up
according to importance such as starting with past then moving on to
present moderate importance and future as biggest importance. A way to do
this in the classroom is presenting a problem and helping the students
understand it and figure it out. This varies from traditional teaching because
it doesnt just list fact after fact and it has the student memorize the list of
facts or figure the overall problem by themselves. In these types of
classroom test and scores kind of go out the window it all is focused on
learning and developing the understanding of the situation.
