Hello everyone! So glad you are back. This week I learned about constructivism and would love to share. Constructivism is really a theory about how people learn. It says that people learn and gain knowledge from the world through past experiences and by reflecting on those experiences. Then that theory was applied to teaching. So the idea is that student's learn best by building on past experiences and making connections in their mind. This teaching method comes from combining theories from Vygotsky, Piaget, Bruner, and Dewey and Constructivism was born. It proves that learning should be social, based on real experiences, it builds on past experiences, and finally it should be active.
