My understanding of learning is parallel with that of Constructivism theory of learning.

Constructivism theory, as I see it, is the idea that learning is related to peoples experiences. This

view hold that learning is an active process where the learner relates what they are learning to

their own world view. This interpretation is contrary to Behaviorism which focuses on a practice

of knowledge input followed by praise. Just like Constructivism I feel that input and output

arent enough for learning. Students must be able to relate what they learned in context to the

world around them. Cognitivism has a similar message where students are meant to connect

learning within a network of what they already know. However, Constructivism stresses a wider

view where students can connect that network of learning to how they interact with the world.

Personally, I think that students need to be encouraged to take this network of learning and apply

it to how they interact within society. Rather than being taught they need be given opportunities

to practice what they have learned within a classroom or even community. Being able to apply

their knowledge could help students to be engaged and immersed within learning and may even

help the local community.
