Constructivism


Teaching philosophy based on the concept that learning (cognition) is the result of mental (construction) students construct their own understanding by reflecting on their personal experiences , and by relating the new knowledge with what they already know.

Theorists:

  • D.A.Kolb Experiential learning is the process of making meaning from direct experience, action learning adventure learning and cooperative learning.
  • J.Biggs : constructive alignment, outcomes/objective, activities and assessments needs to be aligned.
  • B.Bloom : Blooms Taxonomy is a classification of learning objectives into three "domains":  cognitive, Affective and psycho motor.
