What is Constructivist Learning and Teaching?
The philosophy behind constructivist pedagogies is that humans can understand only what they have themselves constructed. A cross-disciplinary nature of constructivism has facilitated the development of various branches of learning and teaching theories. The general concept that AClass maintains for constructive pedagogies is the effort to identify “learner” as an important agent in the learning process, their interest and characteristics are taken into consideration, and learning should build on prior knowledge so learners understand how to construct new knowledge from authentic experience, to support active participation and engaged learning. Constructivist learning is to make learning meaningful to learners and to eliminate the struggle of learners with the power of teacher and knowledge.
