| Constructivism |
A
theory of teaching. The basic idea of constructivism
is:
Knowledge cannot be instructed by a teacher, it can only be
constructed by a learner.
This means learning is not just a direct result of listening
to a teacher. The students have to organize and develop what
they hear and read.
Constructivisim is an example of Cognitivism
applied to teaching.
The opposite approach to constructivism is Instructivism.
