What is Constructivist Approach?

• A teaching approach that emphasizes the active

role of the students in the educational process
and his/her ability to construct new knowledge
based on experience and previously acquired
knowledge.
Characteristics Constructivist
Approach of Teaching
• child centric approach
• democratic
• activity oriented
• supports learning by doing
• makes a child responsible and autonomous
• self -dependent
Contract Learning or Learning Contract
• A learning contract is an agreement established between a
student and the teacher; it sometimes involves the student’s
parents. The contract specifies concrete learning and/or
behavioral objectives for the student that all parties agree
need to be achieved. The contract also specifies:

the goals of the contract

the obligations of each party to the contract
the time frame within which the terms of the learning
contract are to be fulfilled
the basis on which it will be determined that the conditions of
the contract were met
Modular approach
• A self-contained package dealing with one specific
subject in convenient form, so that the learner can
complete it at his own pace independently or small
groups. It is so structured that the learner can identify
the objectives, select material and method and evaluate
his own accomplishment.
ADVANTAGES
 Users study the modules in their own working environment.
 Users can study without disturbing the normal duties and
responsibilities
 Modules can be administered to single use, small group or
large group.
 Modules are flexible so that implementation can be made by a
variety of patterns.
 It is more appropriate to mature students.
 It enables the learner to have a control over his learning.
 It already got wider accessibility in the present educational
scenario.

DISADVANTAGES
 Modules are economical in their use.
 Appropriate only for matured students.
 This methods demands smart classrooms.

Modular approach provides more flexibility to distance teaching

mode as well to learners.
Cooperative Learning
• sometimes called small-group learning, is an
instructional strategy in which small groups of
students work together on a common task.
• According to David Johnson and Roger Johnson (1999), there
are five basic elements that allow successful small-group
learning:

• Positive interdependence: Students feel responsible for their

own and the group's effort.
• Face-to-face interaction: Students encourage and support one
another; the environment encourages discussion and eye
contact.
• Individual and group accountability: Each student is
responsible for doing their part; the group is accountable for
meeting its goal.
• Group behaviors: Group members gain direct instruction in
the interpersonal, social, and collaborative skills needed to
work with others occurs.
• Group processing: Group members analyze their own and the
group's ability to work together.
 Integrative learning
• is an approach where the learner brings together
prior knowledge and experiences to support new
knowledge and experiences. By doing this,
learners draw on their skills and apply them to
new experiences at a more complex level.
