Section 5 – Constructivist Approach

View video:

Questions for Reflection and Circle Discussion:
  1. What are my personal feelings about the Constructivist Approach in education? 
  2. Do I see my students as possessing the building blocks needed for them to construct their own learning?  What “blocks” might be missing for some of my students to learn successfully?
  3. Do I have students in my care who are unable to engage fully with their learning/lessons being taught?  What might be the cause or barrier in their individual situation(s)?  Do I have any ability to impact positive change?
  4. Are there student experiences and home situations in my school that might be overlooked as potential learning opportunities?  How might I incorporate them?
