ConstructivismO Learning is much more than memory
O Understanding and applicationO The task of education is not to pour
information into student’s heads, but to engage students’ minds with powerful and useful concepts
![Page 3: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
ConstructivismO Students must individually discover
and transform complex informationO How?
O Comparing new information against old rules and revising rules when they no longer work
O Student centered instructionO Teacher is guide o

Constructivism
Piaget Vygotsky
![Page 11: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
4 Key Principles from Vygotsky’s Theories
1. Social Learning2. Zone of Proximal Development3. Cognitive Apprenticeship4. Mediated Learning
![Page 12: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Social LearningO Children learn through social interaction
O Adults and peersO Exposure to the thinking process of
othersO Problem solvers talk themselves through
problems to solve themO Cooperative groups allow children to
O Hear inner speech to learn how successful problem solvers think through their problems
![Page 13: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
ZPDO The range of tasks that a child might
not be able to do alone but can do with the assistance of peers or adults

Cognitive ApprenticeshipX
![Page 16: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cognitive Apprenticeship
![Page 17: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cognitive ApprenticeshipO The process by which a learner gradually
acquires expertise through interaction with an expertO Adult or Peer (older/more advanced)
O Students are the apprentices of TeachersO Engage students in complex tasksO Help students through the tasks
O Cooperative Learning GroupsO Heterogeneous (more advanced students
help less advanced students)
![Page 18: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Mediated LearningOSCAFFOLDINGO Students should be given complex,
difficult, realistic tasks and then given enough help to achieve the tasks
O Support the classroom use of projects, simulations, explorations, and other authentic tasks
O Situated Learning: learning that takes place in real-lode authentic tasks
O Emphasizes learning in depth
![Page 19: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Constructivist’s Approach to Teaching
O Top- Down ProcessingO Peer InteractionO Discovery LearningO Self- Regulated LearningO Scaffolding
Key Point: Learning is a process of Self-Discovery
![Page 20: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Top-Down ProcessingO Students begin with complex
problemsO Teachers then guide students to
solve itO Process of DiscoveryO Give students a problem and help
them figure out how to do it
![Page 21: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Top Down Processing
![Page 22: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Top Down Processing
![Page 23: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Peer InteractionO Interaction among students the
same ageO Students will more easily discover
and comprehend difficult concepts if they talk with each other about the problem
O Cooperative Learning
![Page 24: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Discovery LearningO Learn on their own through active
involvement with concepts and principles
O Teachers encourage students to have experiences and conduct experiments that permit them to DISCOVER principles for themselves
O Knowing is a process not a product
![Page 25: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Discovery LearningO Advantages
O Arouses curiosityO Motivates work until the question is
answeredO Students learn independent problem-
solving and critical thinking skillsX
![Page 26: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Discovery LearningO Can lead to errors and wasted time,
therefore:O Guided Discovery Learning is more
commonO Teacher plays more of an active role
O Gives clues O Structures portions of an activityO Provide outlines
O Teachers interprets the Treasure Map
![Page 27: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Self- Regulated LearningThe Ideal Student:
O Has knowledge of effective learning strategies and how to implement them
O Can break down complex problems into smaller/ simpler steps
O Test out alternate solutionsO Know haw to both skim read and read for deep
understandingO Know how to write persuasively and
informativelyO Motivated by learning itselfO Has the ability to stick to long-term tasks until
completion
![Page 28: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Self- Regulated LearningOPossession of Effective Learning
Strategies and the Motivation and Persistence to apply those strategies will most likely create an Effective Learner
OSelf- Regulated Learning strategies have been found to increase student’s achievement
![Page 29: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Scaffolding
Learning Under Construction
![Page 30: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
ScaffoldingO Based on Vygotsky’s concept of
assisted LearningO Teacher is the agent that guides
instruction so that students will master and internalize the skills that permit higher cognitive functioning
O Give students more structure in the beginning and gradually reduce that structure
O Gives students more responsibility in their learning
![Page 31: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Constructivists Methods in the Content Area
O ReadingO Reciprocal TeachingO Questioning the AuthorO Concept-Oriented Reading Instruction
O WritingO Math O Science
![Page 33: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Reciprocal TeachingO Designed primarily to help low achievers
in elementary and middle school learn reading comprehension
O Teacher works with small groups of students
O Teacher initially generates questionsO Students then are appointed “teacher” to
generate questions for each otherO Research indicates this strategy increases
the success of low achievers
![Page 34: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Questioning the AuthorO Ages 3-9O Taught to see the authors of factual
material as real people that they can engage in dialogues with
O As students read they periodically stop to as the author questions
O Students then take it upon themselves to take responsibility for formulating questions of the author’s meaning and intent
O Research indicates that students who use this approach are far more likely to understand the reading rather than just memorize it
![Page 35: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Concept Oriented Reading Instruction
O 5 Key Elements1. Content Goals2. Giving Students Choices3. Hands-on Activities in relation to
text4. A variety of informational texts5. Collaboration among students
![Page 36: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
WritingO Peer-response teams
O Students work together to plan, draft, revise, edit, and “publish” compositions
O Review each other’s drafts and give helpful suggestions for improvement in content as well as an editing eye for mechanics
O The composition should be presented for some authentic purpose
O In the process of responding to others’ compositions, children gain insight into the purpose of writing and revision
![Page 37: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
MathO Elementary age groups:O Students work together in small
groups O The teacher poses a problem and
then circulates among the groups to facilitate the discussion of strategies, join students in asking questions, and occasionally offering alternative strategies when students are stuck
![Page 38: Constructivists View of Learning](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110217/588810971a28ab083c8b4d35/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
MathO Supporting Ten- Structured Thinking
O Children use basic-10 blocks to invent procedures for adding and subtracting large numbers
O Problem Centered Mathematics ProjectO Leads children through stages, from
modeling with counters to solving more abstract problems with counters
O Cognitively Guided InstructionO Provides extensive professional development
for teachers of primary mathematics

Math
O Emphasis on beginning with real problems for students to solve intuitively and letting students use their existing knowledge of the world to solve problems any way they can
O At the end of the process, when students have achieved a firm conceptual understanding, they can be taught formal, abstract representations of the mathematical processes they have been working with
