Constructivist Classroom
The pursuit of student inquiries and
interests is regarded favorably.
Primary sources of material and
manipulative materials are examples
of materials.
Teachers engage in discourse with
students, assisting them in the
construction of their own knowledge.
Knowledge is viewed as dynamic,
continuously evolving in response to
our experiences.
Student work, observations, and
points of view, as well as
examinations, are all part of the
assessment process. The process is
just as important as the product.
The teacher's role is collaborative
and based on negotiation.
