Constructivism as a Paradigm for Teaching and Learning - 0 views

    • Choong Charles
       
      Theory/ Principle
  • it usually means encouraging students to use active techniques (experiments, real-world problem solving) to create more knowledge and then to reflect on and talk about what they are doing and how their understanding is changing.
  • Constructivist teachers encourage students to constantly assess how the activity is helping them gain understanding. By questioning themselves and their strategies, students in the constructivist classroom ideally become "expert learners." This gives them ever-broadening tools to keep learning. With a well-planned classroom environment, the students learn HOW TO LEARN.

      Example of how constructivism takes place in classroom
  • One of the teacher's main roles becomes to encourage this learning and reflection process.
    • Choong Charles
       
      Role #1
  • For example: Groups of students in a science class are discussing a problem in physics. Though the teacher knows the "answer" to the problem, she focuses on helping students restate their questions in useful ways. She prompts each student to reflect on and examine his or her current knowledge. When one of the students comes up with the relevant concept, the teacher seizes upon it, and indicates to the group that this might be a fruitful avenue for them to explore. They design and perform relevant experiments. Afterward, the students and teacher talk about what they have learned, and how their observations and experiments helped (or did not help) them to better understand the concept.
    • Choong Charles
       
      Example
  • teachers help students to construct knowledge rather than to reproduce a series of facts.
  • The constructivist teacher provides tools such as problem-solving and inquiry-based learning activities with which students formulate and test their ideas, draw conclusions and inferences, and pool and convey their knowledge in a collaborative learning environment.

We Are All Connected | Connected Principals - 8 views

  • In fact, nearly all of the most hyped developments on the Web in the past few years have been tools for augmenting social connection…
  • This is why it is frustrating when there is talk that the use of technology and social media sites actually disconnects our students, when in my own experience, I have found the opposite. The more I have connected through our staff and student blogs, the more I have learned about them and what is happening in the classroom.
  • As educators, we need to continue to find safe and effective ways for our students to have the opportunity to participate in this human network.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • If relationships are the foundation of our schools, and technology helps to create and enhance these, it is hard to contest that social media should not be more apparent in our learning environments.
  •  
    Relationships are the key foundation to the success of students in our schools. The more we connect with them, the more likely they are to succeed. This is not only true with our students, but also essential with our staff. If we know those we serve, the more likely we are to all be successful.

From Good to Great: Writing well by Thinking like Authors - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    A common challenge for students and teachers is how to develop a great idea for a piece of writing. Too often students struggle with the process of finding inspiration for their writing. They have a vague idea for the story they hope to tell, but all too quickly it transforms into a list of events with little or no detail. The goal here is to provide our students with a process to use during the planning process. The hope is that by identifying the type of thinking required during the early phases of ideation and to focus their attention on details, that the stories our students subsequently compose will be more enjoyable to read. Hopefully, this process helps.

Causes Why Students Drop Out from University? How To Overcome? - 1 views

  •  
    Students at the university level focus on diverse activities to meet the needs of life. Some students do jobs to support the family and pay the university dues, while there are several students who drop out from university due to not following the academic code of conduct. The university-level education provides more freedom compared to the school and college. It is a time in students' life where they enjoy a lot and experience the politics of the administration. Intelligent students at university often participate in social activities and develop a positive image in front of teachers. It helps them in getting good grades due to their wellness and adherence to the university rules.

  •  
    Studying in a university both has its up and downs. You might be on your way to getting a diploma but the road from high-school graduate to getting your degree is a tough one. Students have told horror stories of being so broke they've resorted to an everyday diet of instant ramen. While admittedly, instant ramen sounds good, here are a few ways for you to earn extra cash on the side so you can afford other things.

Shifting towards student centred learning - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    Particular patterns of pedagogy have been of most interest to me across the years, particularly those that shift the focus from what the teacher does to what the student does. With this shift comes an emphasis on understanding how students learn and with this knowledge in mind developing learning experiences that will allow them to develop their skills for learning.

Assessment and Student Agency - Better Together - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    As with many things in education, the outcome achieved will be a result of all that we do. Efforts to promote and empower student agency, voice and choice certainly falls into this category. We might have the best of intentions but unless each of our messaging systems align, we are unlikely to achieve success. So where do our efforts go wrong and what else might we change so that student agency is genuinely a part of our learning environment?

Tips on Inspiring Student Curiosity - Teaching Now - Education Week Teacher - 0 views

  •  
    "teacher-ready tips for stimulating curiosity in others. First, she suggests starting with the question, rather than the answer-which teachers will recognize as the foundation of inquiry-based or discovery learning (see: math teacher Dan Meyer's take on how to make math "irresistible" to students). She then suggests offering some initial knowledge on the subject. "We're not curious about something we know absolutely nothing about," she writes. Again, teachers may know this as "activating prior knowledge" or "setting the stage" before a lesson. Finally, she says it helps to require communication, or "open an information gap and then require learners to communicate with each other in order to fill it." The think-pair-share technique and vocabulary activities that require students to teach each other their words both exemplify this. What would you add to the list? How does stimulating curiosity gel with other motivation tactics-or should teachers think of curiosity and motivation as one and the same?"

Supporting students in uncovering complexity - The Learner's Way - 0 views

  •  
    One of the thinking moves that we hope our students will confidently engage with is centred around the disposition of uncovering complexity. As we endeavour to shift our students towards a deeper understanding, the capacity to uncover complexity is a vital step. However, the ability to uncover complexity is itself complex and an excellent example of a skill that is best achieved when considered as a disposition.

Importance of Studying Sociology as a Student - 1 views

  •  
    A lot of people question studying sociology. They say that sociology does not lead to a definite career path, unlike engineering, medicine, and law. But many students are enrolling themselves in the subject of sociology. Studying sociology as a student holds immense importance. It allows students to evaluate social changes that happen over a period of time. Based on their evaluation, they conclude different social issues and problems. Keeping this in view, the epicentre of today's discussion will be the importance of studying sociology as a student. I will discuss the reasons for choosing sociology and its benefits. But before that, let's start with the importance of sociology in everyday life.
