Constructivism | Funderstanding - 0 views

  • The purpose of learning is for an individual to construct his or her own meaning, not just memorize the “right” answers and regurgitate someone else’s meaning.
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks

  • Constructivism is a philosophy of learning founded on the premise that, by reflecting on our experiences, we construct our own understanding of the world we live in
    • Maree Michaud-Sacks
       
      Rationale for adding discussion to an online course? Through discussion a learner can construct personal meaning from new concepts.
  • Teachers also rely heavily on open-ended questions and promote extensive dialogue among students.
